I'll play.
Driveway under construction. If you zoom in you can see on the left a Syncro in the back, behind the 92 EV, and on the right my 97 diesel Transporter, and behind that pile of dirt is a 90 Westy Multivan -- see the blue roof?

I get the previous owner moving out after our purchase (i bought my house off a buddy), He is looking right at the camera carrying boxes out, pretty funny.
but i had quite the reminder of the 30 tons of rock I moved out of the yard last year when i zoomed up to aerial view. glad its gone but my back still hurts.
I need them to come back and update pictures to show off the toys |

Man, this one's a double shot. Go Google. Who's the orange Westy in the background? _________________ '87 Vanagon GL Westfalia

This would be a good database for broken down travelers to get some help. I don't have an iphone but it sounds like an iphone application waiting to happen... _________________ - Bill, '93 Eurovan Syncro Weekender (2.5 manual ACU) |

Those are some good eyes there, mister.

That was our neighbors around the corner. Nice folks. Unfortunately, they moved a couple of years ago. _________________ 89 Syncro Westy - GW 2.5, now with a double knob job

Hate to dig up old threads, but I still get a kick out of it. When this thread was new, my city wasn't up yet, but it is now, though with a pretty old photo. Here I am working on a bracket for a side trim piece before I painted it all with bedliner..

This is so cool, but scary at the same time.
Mine isn't on Google (yet, I'm sure), but my neighbor's is:

What does the google vehicle look like? I saw a mini van the other day with about fifty little black things attached to the roof.

The google cars are usually small hybrid types around the main campus at least. They have a roof rack with a tall stalk with the camera mounted to it. I've seen lots of them for years, but never a van. Your area might use different cars though. Here is a example-

This is my van a couple of years ago at my work. I live in a very small town that google doesnt cover in streetview.
