Well, it seems my Somerset has, shortly before I moved out of my parents house!



Has anyone else had their pride and joy caught on camera?

Well, perhaps not my 'pride & joy', but yes! My Lincoln Town Car - I can't believe I didn't see the camera car drive past.



Over the years I've had several 'personal' sightings on GE:
A good friend in Penge, staring at the camera car - the first GE image I ever saw some years ago was his red Coca-Cola van in the same place



My brother-in-law raking leaves in Bath (no image)
Another friend's red van parked in Uxbridge.
A classic Volvo PV 544 in Bishop's Lydeard, posted here a while ago
A nice Moggie somewhere near Crowcombe

Keep looking!

I can make out our 2nd Volvo V70, just, back in 2011, but nothing old has been caught on Streetview that I know of.

Now that you mention it, I remember spotting a Google photo car earlier this year, on checking the images in town at that junction, I can see junior and I in our modern - dated May 2017 Smile
