Google streetview has just happened for Cambridge and has found my 110, sadly devoid of engine, last summer...

Scary, but fun!



AC.


LOL, mine shows the caravan on the back garden, so I had the Disco on the concrete caravan bay. on ramps so I could change the diff .. it was only there for about two weeks, so I can almost pinpoint the days when our area was updated .. ;)

Cool !!!!

Mine shows the 90 outside and the car in the drive. Was taken last summer about late August time judging from the plants in flower and very early one Tuesday morning as the dustbin is on the pavement.

How can you tell which towns are covered?

Not that I can see, thought they had some process to remove people. There is the unmistakable blur of a car travelling in the opposite direction to the camera car right by my 90. I do remember seeing their car with it's strange contraption on the roof around this area last year.

Well where I live is not on the list but it's there. Probably classed as London being just inside the M25.

Looking at somewhere else I have seen people and quite clearly too, a mother and three kids, one in a buggy.

There isn't the Streetview of your area yet because the little man above the + & - bar is grey so you only have the "old" Google Earth arial photos which are quite old, they show my house with my Series 111 and 90 outside and the old girl has been in Ireland for a couple of years. The Streetview stuff is a lot newer. Take a look at Staines, my area, and you will see what I mean. If you then move out along the A30 towards Virginia Water you will see it ends just after the M25 at which point the little man turns grey again.

BTW you have to be in "Maps" too.

I have seen quite a few pople. The ones facing the camers have a big white splott over their faces.

I also noticed some road name signs also blanked out. I guessed it has something to automatically hide car number plates and mistook the road name for a reg. plate.

Lots of Bristol is done, but it's bounday of info. stops about a mile up the road from our shop. :¬(

Holy crap, Its not just in the UK either, I've just been walking round the Notre Dame in Paris.

Stephen.

Also NZ. Anyone need any Series bits?

LOL. Could bring up a whole new I Spy kind of game for bored people.

While wondering what time of day the car was buzzin around I followed a "church Road" to the end and voilla, church tower with a clock face easy to zoom into. :¬)

I was going to suggest people post locations where they've found LR vehicles on the road. I can't help feeling that driving past the dealer is cheating.

Did you get that e-mail? PM mail me matey?

NZ has a total of 6 LR dealers - they're harder to find than the vehicles.
