Google maps car game...

[EllD90]

Potential for a good thread?

Post up a screen shot with location, of a decent car collection you see day to day.

This one is on my way into work, they also have a 996 Turbo in their collection and have just added a Bentley Continental! All cars are sporting illegal number plates too which more or less spell out the same thing. This one is in Redbridge, Essex.

 

[jackfm]

So you posted the pic of google maps, which contains none of the exotic cars mentioned? why?

 

[EllD90]

I'm sorry, I'll take pics of the Porsche and BGT when I next see them, email them to google and see if they'll photoshop the cars in.

Potential for a good thread?

Potential for a flame-war to begin in post 2?

Ah I see, sarcasm. Well the only house I pass that has nice cars (a Lamborghini and a Ferrari f40) is behind a huge bush on Google maps.

I'm guessing the amount of cars that will actually be visible from Google "street view" (not maps. That would be very hard to see the cars) will be fairly minimal.

Prove me wrong if you like but you have only confirmed my point so far.

Thread fail in my eyes...

 

[Firas]

there is an f40 in dundee? where?

For the sake of giving this "game" a chance. Here is the very house:

Feast your eyes on them. Pretty nice huh?


EDIT:

Strathern Road mate, convertable, white with a maroon roof, sexiest thing ever. As you can see from that Google street view :rasp: lol. I kid.

 

[Firas]

jack that is just down the road from me. ive saw him about a few times and its a white f430 with a red top roof he has got the last time i saw him.

 

[jackfm]

That's the one. mi' bad.

 

[EllD90]

Seeing as google rejected my emails, I had to go about this myself. (can't believe I did something so loserish!).

So f**k you jackfm lol:

Driveway was a tight squeeze so the Turbo could only fit on the pavement!

I wonder what his favourrite colour is?

Not being funny but its a bit out of order posting what types of car and where the exact location of them is. I would be pretty pissed of if someone posted a shot of my collection of cars on the driveway to be honest. Just my opinion

Aye, Pakistanis iirc.

Lots of nice cars on Strathern, lots of nice houses too! Street view isn't available in the Ferry.

EDIT: It is now! Wasn't before. :dapprove:

+1, Would not be happy people posting up a collection of my cars if i owned anything worth nicking.

Its like haveing someone put a contents list of my house on here and an address with it.

Google street view exists. It's happened. It's too late lol

Agreed, this thread should be closed TBH.

Its available to all tbf, closing this thread would do nothing.

As bad as it is, and i dont agree with google street view, but not much we can do now!

 

[Oldskoolbaby]

I agree with you that google maps is as it is but this doesn't really help matters does it???
The house in Dundee that has been shown has no cars visable at all but it has now been pointed out that cars of a big value are kept there.....with the exact location shown!
In the perfect world nobody would care but in reality its full of little scrotes that love to damage or steal other peoples property. The fact that 99.9% of us on here are avid petrol heads and take alot of pride in our cars should surly mean that we don't help these matters. We all know of the very real problems regarding car identity theft and houses being broke into for car keys so why help the matter?
Im not taking a dig at the original poster, I just dont think its a good idea at all.

what? the number plates are not visible, neither is the location of the car keys. What is the problem?

 

[SC03OTT]

This thread should be closed because it's shite, TBH.

This is a public forum, anyone can log in to a computer and view this thread, you don't need to be a member.

They can then read that a Ferrari is parked at this location and can then go and steal it becuase they know it is there.

This thread was a good idea, sadly, it won't happen due to the state of this earth

im pretty sure they will have a struggle getting to it, quite a large wall, big gate, and from the looks of the house a fair bit of cctv

What the hell? i presume theives have the sense of sight and a short term memory atleast. They'll see it on the driveway, as i did, from the top deck of a double decker bus, that runs a route every 10 minutes, if they really want to see it.

Or; they could go to the effort of joining a members club forum on the off chance that there might be a location of an expensive car. wait until a thread like this is created and seize the opportunity!

Are you sane?

Are you being a bit simple???? Thieves don't think twice about breaking into a house because they don't know where the keys/jewelry are do they?? lol Also, the registration is quite ligible when zoomed in on the Porsche........:nono:

Google's fault not mine, wave you're finger at them.

I like Google Street View.

There, I said it

 

[Oldskoolbaby]

Lets be honest mate.............why the f**k are you advertising the fact where expensive cars are??? Your asking if we are sane???

So could anyone that walks down that street. Or anyone that see's those cars, that are driven daily, being driven.

Which if were honest, is a fair bit more likely than some hardened car thieves logging onto a Clio geeks website looking for exotic supercars to steal.

Films, you've watched too many of 'em

WTF is going on. Is everyone mad!?

My dad bought some new wheels for his 58 plate bmw off ebay. They were posted to us. That guy had our address. He also knows we have a newish bmw. Holy s**t we're f**ked.

EDIT: Postmen must make a fortune stealing stuff

 

[BIFCAIDS]

rami baby you reminded me of a mate of mine then lol "You've watched too many films lad"

 

[Oldskoolbaby]

Ever wondered why the bloke has big gates, large trees out side his house??? He obviously doesnt want people blatantly see all his toys on veiw.........so you then go and post arial pic and what cars are there. Give people/other petrol heads some respect mate.

seriously are you special?

Almost everyone has the internet, which means almost anyone can get that picture.

Hope you've locked your car tonight because you'll be on street view too

He probably holds swingers parties.

Sex festival!?
