Google Streetview is now providing coverage of practically the entire UK!!!

I find it amazing and at the same time slightly disconcerting that I can see detailed views of anyone's homes should I choose to.

Annoyingly, my Mini must've been in the garage the day the camera came down! :thumbsup: My mate's is parked where mine usually is, so that's ok :)

I have used it a lot when looking for a house.

If I see a house I like on Rightmove etc, I check out the area, busses etc on google street view!

Me too, but the view of my house is really dark, as if taken during an eclipse of something.

Went to Kent to get my new car 350 miles both ways with 4x4 and big trailer and got there no problems on time.I wrote the map out .Even told me the miles per road.Helped with the fuel cost to.

The royal mail and electrol register don't have information about where your mini lives do they. Just thinking about the safty of your mini. That's all. :cry:
