Is this the car you saw - it's the Google Street car.

I think it was a different car but differently that large camera mounted on top but if you google 'google car' you get lots of different cars colours.

so we just have to wait and see. (not updated on google street yet).

We had one driving by our house last weekend. Quite surreal in the middle of nowhere! We thought it looked like the "worm with the camera" in the Richard Scary picture books, don't know if anyone knows these books, lol :&>

big brother be damned - streetview is a hoot to look at! Any "plastic" transaction you make is logged, as is any cash withdrawal so unfortunately we either have to live with it, or drop off the grid as much as we can! Oh and using this forum is obviously open to "BB" snooping as well!!

There ain't no conspiricies..everyone's outchgetya!!

the google car - eww - you can request to have your house removed from searches- i think so -

there was a stretch limo lada once flown in for the boss of lada at a showroom in kent  some years ago-police requested its removal from the forecourt  because of its ability to cause a great amount of accidents that were occuring from non staioner traffic pasing by hehehe ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
