Just a thought.
Tom,
The date is reversed so the year comes first... It is highly unlikely that real enthusiast would want to buy a car, register with the club and then turn around and sell it to another "enthusiast" and then have him re-registered the car with the club all in the same year.
I think the simple reversal method should give us adequate tracking capabilities for the club ID purposes. Notes in the registry will and should be a bit different. Club records can serve to back up some entries into the registry.
All the best,
Ray
