Google Street View - have you seen yourself on it?

jamescw

Google have updated the Street View function on Google Maps to include most of the UK's roads. Have you seen yourself or your mates on it? If so, let us know and we'll put together a story about the top images.

Yes, me and the missus are on. It's not very exciting though, we're getting out of the car having been shopping. I just wish I'd mown the lawn, it looks a bloody mess!

Oh yes, and the cat's on there too, looking out of the window.

Yes, I'm on a couple of shots in Bristol - in one I'm ogling a passing woman and in the other it's clear that the woman is one of my colleagues. Caused some embarrassment to me in the office

Myself, ITBoffin and Linsen are all on there on a ride near Yatton, unfortunately they seem to have decapitated Linsen.

Also looks like someone in your avatar was decapitated, coincidence or terrible conspiracy?

Ok...Now the Chinese, N.Koreans, Chechins or anyone else got a great view of all our terrain! They can just Waltz in now, knowing EVERYTHING, LOL.

Another point...there's nothng for off-road, ie, You can't follow tracks/trails as their cars don't go there.

So...Why don't they give riders helmet cams, and let them ride off road. You'd be able to see unknown tracks/trails then before you ride them.
( Oh, I just realised why they haven't done it. There'd be hours of fuzzy footage of young or middle aged women sunbathing, viewed thro gaps in their garden fences.
Mind, you, I'd pay to see that...)

Me and the missus were pretty surprised to see the google van whilst on holiday in the outer hebrides. Notice that I had to carry the bags!

We'd got a bonus afteroon off work as the system was down for maintenance so 4 of us headed off into the Derbyshire countryside.

All the traffiic was stopped (as was the Google camera) as the fire engine was doing a 3 point turn in the middle of the road.

That's me at the back behind 3 hybrids (the shame :oops: )

It's a nice drive/ride along Park Place, particularly during term time when the female students are about

It took me surprisingly long to work out that wasn't faked!

Just found our house and I've left the bedroom window open. Boss is none too pleased that I've now got to go home to close it!!

Not my best side

A bit off-topic, but just noticed this view of La Redoute - appears it was caught on the day of Liege-Bastogne-Liege judging by the vehicles parked, including on the autoroute?

Oh yeah, and carrying a chainsaw (as you do)

I'm on it in 2 different places around Winchester, both shots taken on different days within a matter of weeks of my taking up road cycling. I remember seeing the car each day going in the opposite direction.

One is heading over the bridge across the A34 near Worthless Down (wearing a Scotland LS top) and the other turning off the Stockbridge Rd heading towards Kings Sombourne (wearing a Yellow top).

No but 1 of my bikes is, much better to look at!

Finally found myself. I remember seeing the van but couldn't remember exactly where it was so took a while to track down.

And the hill that made me get off and walk a few years ago. Still need to go back for a rematch.
