Anyone else on google earth?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Google Maps has a really old picture from before we lived here. Google Earth, however, shows the big silver camper on the driveway and my old BX on the road outside (no Ami or Aixam yet). Our Lass is obviously still at work because the BX is parked a few feet further back than usual, revealing - and I realise I should not in any way be proud of this - an LHM stain on the tarmac which is clearly visible from space ?

The guy that painted that stayed in my flat for a couple of weeks back in 2013 (maybe 2014?). But seconded on the terrifying.

And this is the photo he took of the google camera car.  Spanish Opel!

Something to do with hockey?

I passed a car like the Google one a few months ago but I'm sure it had Apple or something on it.

They've got me twice several years and miles apart and show my penchant for miserable resale silver estates.

I didn't think our place was on street view yet (new build 2015) but this thread has made me look again and there it is!

Taken last June so either a weekend or I'd gone to work on my bike, since my Range Rover and wife's new Kia are both on the drive

This photo is pre May 18 as the shed is missing behind the garage. The X5 is there so post March 18. The really shiny thing next to the garage is the sun room.

My old Vectra is on Google Maps outside my old place of work.

 

Complete with L plates as I was teaching my missus to drive.

My old house in Brizzle, with mandatory green shitheap mouldering on the pavement outside. Note that Streetview didn't bother to hide my reg number.

Google street view is a bit out of date in Robertsbridge as I moved away about 8 years ago.

And got rid the of my Laguna RTi about 9/10 years ago.

My old Lancia Thema captured outside the house we were renting in Lossiemouth when doing the Tesco at Keith. Must have been sometime around 2010 I'd have thought.

I passed a couple of Apple vans with all the gizmos on the roof etc last year on the M5. They were driving like ***ts in the middle lane, sums up Apple I suppose.

It was done to commemorate the Commonwealth Games held in Glasgow a few years ago. It does look a bit weird...

If you look closely just under it you can see what I was driving at the time.

Google hasnt been back to my area since 2009. On the day they passed my mk4 cortina 2.0S is sat in my then driveway with an empty space beside it as the then mrs cortinadave had recently run off with some bloke from Dunfermline.

I filled her space in the drive with an SD1 a few weeks later :)

GTA is, where it was time before where it is now. HHR is long-gone, written off by my sister in law last year when it got icy.

They've not updated the side streets around here for a long time. The overhead has been done but the car's under the carport. Edit:  Their site shows they're going to be doing this area on the streets again sometime between now and August. I need to clean the concrete again.

The oil slick from the C8 ( 2nd cam shaft oil seal) is visible on Google Earth

Along with the departed Almera

Street view is a bit out of date and shows the long dead Picasso HDi

Google made the unforgivable error of depriving the global community of the view of my mighty Mazda by updating their view of Wharf Road N1 (admittedly the street changes dramatically every 3 months).

My parents' shonk is however temporarily immortalised (which is of course the best way to be immortalised) on this here tinterweb.

They're moving to sunny Scarborough next week and leaving all this behind them.

Except the magnificent Pluriel, naturally. The Pluriel's going with them. The Errounos made its dignified departure yesterday?

To be brought back to stunning, as new condition. Or have holes poked in it and cut up into small bits.

Actually, the street view does keep the older picture and provide even more fun travelling back in time!
