Has anyone seen their Corrado on Google Earth?

Just loaded up Google Earth and to my suprise typed in my Mum's postcode in Reading and saw my Vr6 parked on her drive.

I could not believe how close you can zoom in.

Yeah i can see my old G60 sitting in my mums drive too.

The photos from this area were taken in summer 2003, so I can see my last Mk2 Golf GTI in the drive.

My area isn't covered very well - you can hardly see the town let alone my house or car!

the only thing tho..............from what i can make out........Google earth for Aberdeen is a pic from easy 5years ago............probably the same for the rest of the UK.....if you want to check....think of a development thats recent in your town/city etc then see if thats been built.......for instance the VW dealership in Aberdeen relocated in 2003.............its just a building site on google earth :wink:

The photgraphy has been taken at various times. The Reading area, for example, was only updated quite recently (a few months ago), but the satellite images were taken a couple of years ago on a spring Sunday morning. The data comes from lots of different fly-bys of the satellites, and I imagine there's a significant amount of work needs to be done to it by Google before they can put it on the maps site, too.. (Like making it properly line up with the roads, for example ..)

I can beat that. This photo has both my old VR6 (M100 VRG) and Paul Downing's old Burgundy 16v in the same car park.

 

Parked nearby to our workplace in Bournemouth. We reckon the picture was taken sometime around Sept-Nov 2004.

Decided to check my house, and found that the pic had been taken again recently :) which means it has both corrados on 1 drive :D

 

and you thought 2 in a car park was good :lol:

I'd always thought of starting this very thread, but the Google Earth pic of my house reveals a dark and sinister skeleton in my automotive cupboard, so I never bothered.Mk3Cavalier

Mine is parked up where I used to work in 2005. I've had a good nose all around our area too, and can work out pretty much exactly what dates the pictures were taken.
