What's on your drive or on the street... was created by MartinW

...outside your house/flat on Google Earth? Post a screen grab here for a bit of fun. Don't worry, Google blank the number plates and use a screen grab that doesn't show the address rather than a web link.

Our house previously on Google maps showed my wife's Rover 214, my brother's Peugeot 306 and our Mazda5 from about 3 or 4 years ago.
Now it's up-to-date car wise apart from not showing the recent extension on the house.

When Google Earth first started it showed my old red Sierra in 2 places at once. Outside my house and in the car park at work! I won't submit a street view as I've had a new roof and an extension since the picture was taken and at the moment we are having the drive block paved.

Go to google maps
Find your house on the map.
click on the little orange man and drag him onto the street outside your house.
Wait.

If your street doesn't turn blue when you pick up the little man, you don't have a street view of your street.

To do street view, go to Google.co.uk and click on maps at the top. Enter your postcode and the map view will put you in the right place. To get street view, I usually drag the little man using the mouse from the top of the zoom slider out onto the map, it should then switch to street view and you can then move along the street or turn-around to view the properties.
