Default My 928 on Google earth
Last spring I was followed by the Google "street view" camera car. I slowed down in the hope I would immortalize my beloved 928. It worked! It finally came up on google earth this week! That's so funny

Those Google Earth cameras do some cool stuff. Check out the 6-wheeled red minivan in the background.

Fantastic! What a great concept. Saw the Google Earth Car on Maui a few weeks ago. No chance to get filmed though.

Smart thinking!

That's a heck of a lot better than Andrew's brush with fame on Google Earth. The camera car caught him picking up a transvestite on Hollywood Boulevard.

Good thing you blurred out your license plate so only those several billion not on rennlist can see it.

Are you sure it wasn't just a tranny on East Miraloma Ave?

The licence plate is blurred by Google! Take a look anywhere else, they're all blurred.

The 6 wheeled minivan is for better traction during the Canadian winter season...!

When you plug in my address, you can see mine sitting in my driveway in Streetview.
