david.winter Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 To all Odyssey enthusiasts: After seeing all sorts of mistakes during almost a decade, I finally managed to decipher the date code encrypted on the Inspection Cards. This took me several years, but was well worth the effort. I released an interesting article about this, and how you can precisely date your Odyssey. The old erratic way using the serial should no longer be used. Link: Dating your Odyssey by David Winter Enjoy and forward to all Odyssey fans !

raindog Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Wow, nice find. I'd be shocked if we still have the inspection card intact (I didn't even see the Odyssey for a period of 37 years after my dad died, but inherited it when my mom died and my stepdad sold the house... pretty sure at least the overlays are missing), but next time I'm out in the garage I'm gonna have to look.

108 Stars Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Why date it anyway? It doesn't have a free will, you don't have to go through the same troubles as with a woman. Just go and have dirty fun with it if you desire so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
