Google street view photos - bus fire and others

rcnotes

Has anyone seen this from this site http://9-eyes.com/? Google street view captures some of the most bizarre images. Does anyone have any idea where this was taken?

Wow, Ouch! that's terrible. Are those flames comming out the lower side inlet louvers that we don't have on ours?

I'd forgotten all about driving down the street the other day and pulled up alongside a little Google labeled car with a wild tower on top and the big birdseye camera. Drove next to it a ways then pulled in right behind it and waved. Don't know if it was filming or returning home from a photo shoot.

I just found my bus, parked at the office, on Google Maps!

That's him, dead center, half under the trees, right in front of those two maroon cars. Can anyone else find their bus? Google Earth? Street View?

This is fun! I also found him from 2008 (according to the time stamp on the Google pics), before we bought him, hanging out (rotting) under a tree. When this pic was taken, we hadn't met yet - and I know for a fact that there were RATS living in the air cleaner and the front bumper support thingy. Evil or Very Mad

Here's my bus in 2008 before it was imported into the UK, sitting outside the PO's house:

... and here it is, probably about 4 months ago I reckon, sitting outside my house in London!

Cheers!

It's funny that they have the whole thing censored out on google maps now

http://maps.google.com/maps?client=ubuntu&chan...urce=embed

I followed this one just around the corner from it. I guess they are all over down there, but it amuses me nonetheless.

I love this thread.

What is that roof? Just a little extra head room? I love it.

There should be a thread to post bay window buses found in google maps, without the "burning" part. Laughing

I've got a bunch that I have found "driving" around.
