Google Earth your MINI
Ok, this could turn into some fun.
Just looked up my address on Google Earth and what do I see ... a satellite image capture with my MC in front of the house in Forest Hills, NY. The CR with the White Roof really does stand out
Let's see if you can find yours ...

Google is years behind the times in my neighborhood since it is missing landscaping improvements done by the previous owner several years ago. . .
But I was able to find a friend's MINI parked in his driveway. . . .

It's there. . . You just have to use the red glasses from the MINI black box to see it!
Baby looks cute too!

Google Earth is such a great tool. Alas my MINI was in the garage (or I was out motoring), but it does have a good shot of my old Bronco that I had at the time. Still miss that darn truck.
On a side note. If you get a chance, try using Goolge Earth to look up the Cowley plant in Oxford. There are a ton of MINIs parked next to the train track. Some might be able to find their MINIs there (but I doubt it).

Yeah Google earth doesn't update Alabama too frequently. The image still shows the seven 60' pine trees that I had cut down in my yard 4 years ago so I know the Mini's not there 
Yahoo satellite at least shows my trees cut down but Yahoo doesn't do close zooms.

the garage door is open, too! The shed is no longer back there.This must have been a little less than a year ago.

We don't want your fancy google satellites spying on our moonshine stills anyway! 
Windows Live
If you havn't tried it already, try the maps feature at Microsoft Live. They have a 3d map that is about 1 year more current than Google Earth. Switch back to the 2d mode and you have maps that look like Google Earth.
