    I think my road is too insignificant for 'street view' unless you want to look at Electrolux.

    My 5 and KA are on the normal Maps though I remember the day too because the people moved in a couple of houses down.

    Re: Google Maps UK - are you on there?

    Dawn actually found this earlier for me. We've had a Smart car driving around the area for years with some sort of tower camera posted on its roof, which is why the image seems elevated. The image was clearly taken quite some time ago as I sold the Pulsar to Doug about a year and a half ago or more....

    Yes, but as I said, I sold that car quite some time ago... November 2008 to be more precise.

    The date is a copyright date, it has zilch to do with when it was taken.

    Your sisters Polo and mums car make an appearance too Adam. How is is that your drive never seems to look the same from one month to the next?

    Don't you start. When I told my mum I had a picture of our drive on Google Maps she went into a panic and instantly remarked on it being a tip

    She was quite pleased to see only 3 cars on the drive.

    The Polo hasn't seen that drive since December 2008 either, that's been up in Aberdeen with my sister since then.

    I'll honestly say i'm quite grateful they haven't taken a picture with 3 of my cars on the driveway, and two of them not having engines in.... I just remembered, it was 4 cars in total...

    It was! Your mum is a happier person now that you have cut that down. Technically, you have further engines but let's not go there

    You can see my Clio parked on my Neighbours drive

    It would appear the Google Maps driver was too miserable to have a drive into my cul-de-sac?
