slartibartfast Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 I was looking at this vid and low and behold @35:00 the couple overtaking the camera just happen to be my son and daughter-in-law on their honeymoon (taken last Friday) what are the chances? well I thought it was a crazy coincidence, anyway 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 I made it onto Google Street View this summer. In someone's garden in WSM! Bit weird to think your image will just be there online for however many years... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted October 6, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 I've seen examples of people posing for the Google car - how do people know when and where it will be passing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebristolred Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 I'm on Street View somewhere up in Bradley Stoke too. You don't know it's coming, you just have to be ready to act like an idiot if you do spot it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has Google written in big letters on the side and an obvious roof mounted camera. I saw it coming through my village a few years back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did it several years ago in Cheltenham, I saw the car coming down the road, you cant miss them, and my work colleague and I stood there 'posing' as it went past!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 My Gran was on it when it first launched, in her front garden in Headley Park. Not knowing anything about what it was or how it worked, she got the fright of her life when we showed it to her on screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When she well in her 80s she got her first TV in the early 1960s. When my mum was over visiting her, she saw great-gran go outside to get her washing in when it was "raining" on a programme on TV. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted October 6, 2023 Report Share Posted October 6, 2023 I got sent a link of me pictured in Sun Peaks Canada during a Ski Coaching lesson...13 years ago...on Google maps. I remember the Skidoo going past on the piste with camera having no idea what it was. Incredible that Google maps do pistes in ski resorts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
