streetview

One of the other threads had a Google Street View link on it that lead me to the car crash link (below).

The aftermath of a car accident on Ipswich Street in Fyshwick. Okay, so not all that funny.

But it got me thinking about some of the other weird and wonderful things visible on Street View in the ACT.

I know of a few times they drove their Google stunt cars through parks, down stairs and even into private property.

Anyone got other amusing Google Street Views to add?

I used to like pointing out that the west entrance to Holden Crescent in Wanniassa had a large amount of skidmarks, but now it’s gotten even weirder.

I’ll say it has!

lol, i know the story behind this. Happened a long time ago but i’ll have to check with others before i can post more details

Becasue this is a place where we all know each other personally and would totally know your friends? why do you have to check to say ” a chick i know wanted her boyfriend to call her back “? or whatever the case may be..

C’mooonnnn!

A friend was caught by the Googlemap car running across her front lawn in a very skimpy, see-through nightie one morning, while collecting the newspaper. She contacted googlemaps to have the image removed/blurred (or whatever they do) but was informed that it would be a while before that area was updated. She has to check every day to see if the image is up before she can then lodge a complaint to have it removed!

I remember one page that went around the world that if you typed in the address, you saw a hand drawn doodle on the page.

Of course i can’t remember the address now.

I recived an email of Google maps hookers, I will see if I can find it…..
