I believe I found a few MINIs in South Hampton, England, I sure someone on NAM has a car in this bunch

 

 

I always keep my MINI in the garage, but look at the cool graphic I have on my roof!

 

I believe I found a few MINIs in South Hampton,

Now THAT's really neat!

 

Sadly, my picture was pre-MINI as well, however I found my dealer! How many MINIs can you count (MINI dealership is the bottom building)?

 

A global game of "I SPY", for one of the smallest vehicles? I LOVE IT

Google Earth is addicting!!!! I can spend hours circling the globe.

 

Gromit, with the local.live.com service, it starts with regular 'mapquest' like maps at first. You have to be using IE, and switch to 'birds eye view' on the little toolbar thats lets you zoom in and out.

 

Try Zillow.com Real Estate site that has newer pictures. You can spy on your neighbors and see what their homes are worth

 

Andrew, you missed the fact that not only can you see my MCS but the B/B MCS parked in front of mine. The photo was pre Ivan BTW because I lost most of the trees in both the front and back yard that are in the picture.

 

Zillow still shows my house with all the trees which is at least 4 years old

 

I wonder how often they update these satellite photos... too early for my MINI to be in the photo of my place.

 

Guess it won't work for me. IE will never infect my machine.

 

ahhh... Because it's Microsoft Virtual Earth, it only works with Microsoft Internet Explorer... To compete with both google & firefox apparently.

 

Zillow seems to be using Microsoft Virtual Earth also ...

 

Too bad the values are wildly innacurate (most of the time...)

 

Here is where Smileee lives. Parked next to my project car a red Fiero.




Cheers,
Jack

 

Socrates, I immediately recognized your picture as Ferman MINI! I was in Tampa on a business trip last year, and stopped by Ferman during my stay. My research prior to the trip included a google maps search, so your picture was the same I saw a year ago.

 

I found my house on maps.live.com but I couldnt figure out how to save the picture to post here. How did you get your picture here?

 

first you have to save your pic to you computer. Then post it to a photo hosting site like Photobucket. After that, copy the provided IMG link, and paste it into the text window here on NAM. Instant pic post.

 

I tried to save it to my computer but it would only save as a link. I use photobucket for hosting on my car club site so I know how to do that but I just couldnt figure out how to save the picture.

 

Push PRT SCR at the top center/right of keyboard. Open up paint. Edit --> Paste. File --> Save.

 

If you right-click on the image with your mouse, do you get a save image option?

 

Finally....

 

time to bump this thread ... there must be some new sat images out there!!!

 

I quickly looked up my house, but no MINI. Must be during the workweek. But there is a truck in front that I don't recognize?
