Volvos from space

Post by **Cornholio** » 24 Apr 2007 09:53 am

Google have recently updated their images of my locality with some higher-resolution snaps. They can't be very new ones though as my previous 340 is sat in the car park at work; it's nearly two years since Tim took that one away. Judging by the shadows it looks like the picture was taken during the winter, so that would be either 2003/2004 or 2004/2005.

Anyhow, maybe I have too much time on my hands, but here is my Volvo from space. Anyone else care to contribute a picture of their own?

If yours could be seen from space, you may be inclined to do the same

Both in center of the screen as bluey grey blobs, Fake next to the house, Kar in front of garage (so lower in the picture)

Had a random dude come round selling pics he'd taken from his plane last summer, I have an awesome shot of Kar, Fake and Beast on the drive, well, Beast is liberally scattered over the drive, luckily parents took the fact that 300's in bits is part of the character of our house

Two out of the three white cars in the piccy are our two Volvo 340s, a 1.7 and a 1.4. The other one I think is next door's van.

The red car further up the road is my red 360 GLT. I was probably at work using the blue 360 because that doesn't appear to be in the picture. There is a blue blob there, but it looks the wrong shape.

BTW they are all parked in the road, because they all are in running order, have tax, MOT and insurance

Hi Will,

I don't know about Google Earth as I don't have the bandwidth to run it. However, you use Google Maps (http://maps.google.co.uk/ or http://maps.google.fr/.

Type in your postcode, then select the "Satellite" option on the map. Woo-hoo!
