We had the thread a few months back about the black Corsa with the big camera on the roof... Well Street View is now live in Portobello (and I guess Edinburgh):

Portobello High St

Bottom of Bath St

The satellite images have been updated too - the roundabout is a big sand pit!

Edit: I've found my car three times now... But prize to the first person to find Bob

You not heard about them?
They heard google were coming and got together.

Start by googling 8 Sampsonia Way Pittsburgh and go to street view
Look around
Keep going all along Sampsonia Way and keep looking around

Been pointed out when you get to Arch St Pittsburgh you have to go along Sampsonia St then there's more Sampsonia Way ( gets interesting around 320 but keep a look out all the way along.

We've had great fun with this, virtually cruising up and down Porty High Street and the streets leading off, spotting quite a few people we know. It's a pity they didn't photograph the Prom.

Sounds like a project for wangi?

A few people not happy about the presence of the a team working for google in Broughton (Buckinghamshire). From the BBC news website today. Apparently blocking in the camera car.

The " google" car was up our street in Linlithgow last night!

Wish I'd been outside! I could've waved to all my friends!!

There was one in Oban last week - pity it was raining!

SoupDragon · Post by **SoupDragon** » 03 Apr 2009, 23:56

It always rains in Oban!

Apart from one time in the 80s when Mr Soupy got sunstroke there

Excuse me Soupy I beg to differ. We went to Oban for a long week-end two years ago and prior to our arrival it had been glorious sunshine for a month (Sept/Oct)....unfortunately it rained for most of the time we were there of course, including our trip to Mull. It was still lovely though.
