google maps

Last year I remember a red google map van drive past me, one with a scanning camera on the roof. Anyhow, I thought I would check a street view of where I saw it (Jaycar springvale) and sure enough, I am in the pic walking towards my red volvo LOL

LOL,

It's a good thing you weren't adjusting your Bonds jockeys at the time.

Cheers

Just checked, I am not famous yet. I was passed by one near my sisters place some weeks back. I only really noticed it as he practically forced me off the road by driving right down the middle of a fairly narrow street where there really was not room to do that.

Interesting factoid I heard recently, Google has pretty much undone the effectiveness of captcha codes as they have come up with algorithms to pick out street signage for street view mapping that pretty much sees right through captcha distortions.

There was one advantage to having a battle-axe block. The GM photo didn't show the house.

The new house is well above street level so you don't see much of it.

Lol, that's one shifty photo of you, David!

My ex-work colleague was also immortalised just outside our work.
