Number2Fan Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Saw a wierd car outside the other week now, went to window to see what it was........IT WAS THE GOOGLE CAR!! Unfortunately I didn't think to lift my top up, but I did hang around the window until it had gone, so when my house is on Google earth from the roadside view I'll post it!! lol Have you seen it?

simonross46 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 A google car? We have a fine selection of cars down our street. Two of the neighbours are rich scum. Had an Audi R8 arrive here yesterday, and the house next to that contains a BMW M5 and M6, a TVR Speed 6, and a Mercedes SLK AMG ... I wish I was rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number2Fan Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 No u plank, the car that has like 8 cameras on a stick on top and takes a 360 degree pic then moves yards along and does it again so that when you go to Google Earth you can click on the camera and actually see a GROUNDS eye view of everywhere in the world (that has a road) You can do it on Hollywood Blvd atm and soon you'll be doing it in my street! Nobody in my neighbourhood is rich, but they are ALL scum!! Similarity probably ends there. I love those R8's but I want a mini clubman now!

Number2Fan Posted November 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Yeah Dormouse is Folkestone, I'm in Royal Tunbridge Wells really expensive and no decent nearby clubs! Dunno when it's up and running for around here Chrissie, but I know it's not working yet, and Google will not disclose where the car is off to on it's travels as people might follow it around or something else wierd I guess. It is pretty cool tho, really starnge looking camera. I'm glad I saw it coz I was wondering how the camera worked for the street views I've seen as you literally can see ALL the way round the top of a car, and now I know how. Wasn't really as difficult as I imagined. So who lives near me then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
