Thanks redline for instructions, it took me a while to realise you're using Google Earth :oops:

Well here it is ( quality is bad, so i compare with Google maps and same pic show up. Hmmmm....time to save the budget ?! )

It was on the left side of that badly parked white van. ( Oh man....form space it's seen that it needs good wash and polish :oops: :oops: :oops: )

Three days after an old Volvo 144, in black color, on another side burned in fire. Some kids had thrown lighter trough broken window :cry:

As much as i can see, this pic is taken at the end of February or so, cose buildings near Arena aren't finished.

Ah, so you are not as blind as me then :D Even with my new glasses sometimes specially in poor light I do have bit trouble to see really well.

I should have taken a pic at last week when I was driving to one destination, there was pretty strong wind and I came to place where was big hills of sand both side of road, it was like storm at desert, so not actually far from pic I posted earlier ;)

Perhaps I need to get proper digicam so I can take photos from my journeys, often 2 hours or more at morning and evening, so I see lot of life from road and road sides :P

Not really of course, this is one from quite a while ago, notable for its complete absence of volvo 300s. Worthwhile contribution I think you'll agree.

Yeah, Mick's right, my area is blurry, go about 1/4 of a mile up the road and it's clear, and a couple of miles the other way and it's really high res! Oh well. Chris_C and myself were discussing Volvo 300's from space. I did locate one in London on Google Earth, one I used to pass coming out on the A501, and never did get round to leaving a V3M card, purely because it was always late and I wanted to get home and out of London!

Not from Google earth, as I can't tell if my car is on the lot or is it just some shadow. :lol:

These are from my city's web-map service.

A bit wider view

Different angle :lol: (though I can't tell if cars are on the lot)

My driving instructor used to tell me of the importance of being aware of every little thing that is going on around you. Can't have been paying enough attention that day as I didn't see you. :oops:

We'd popped up the A46 to visit the garden centre. What has my life come to? I don't even have a garden.
