Every time I go past these flats there is a black Mini parked in the garage. Trouble is the trees are in the way - you can just make out the Left rear tail light

That isnt Adrian nor is it his Moke. Different colour, bumpers, wheels, roll cage etc.

But cool spotting Gemma.

Guys I know its funky to find a car on google street view but we aren't the only ones who view this forum. The second car shown is a member on this forum and if it were me I would prefer that it not be publicised to the world the address of my car.

Well I can put this here cos I don't live there anymore, but this was our house in Tassie c Nov07, and you can clearly see my mini in the shed and if you pan down the road you can see my rover too!!! The bikes are in the shed but not in view.
I wasn't happy about this but it doesn't matter anymore.

http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=3+sanden+street+east+launceston&sll=-25.335448,135.745076&sspn=52.87444,56.689453&ie=UTF8&ll=-41.433694,147.150364&spn=0.01102,0.01384&z=16&layer=c&cbll=-41.439219,147.149407&panoid=xbQJSxCntKh-ISg0wG3BPQ&cbp=2,167.86947138823734,,0,5

And then stuff me - we move back to SA, and there pops up my mini again outside of my work, c Jan 08. What's the chances of that happening eh?

Thanks Matt! Was sorry when we sold it, but it was time to move on and back to here.
I have edited that post now to show the mini outside of my work about 2 months later.........incredible eh.

Just looked up a few mates of mine who have Mini's and a couple you can see their Mini's in the drive.

I won't be posting them obviously and I suggest others don't - as JC said, unless obviously it's a random find like Gemma's or your own car.

Agreed - but I'd probably say "only" if it's your own car, cos even if it's random, you could be exposing something that somebody doesn't want exposed.
Like I said with mine - I'm happy to show them now cos I don't live there anymore, and my work address has changed too (plus that car isn't normally at work anyway - the mrs was visiting that moment).

sorry you can take mine down if anyone is offended by it..i didnt think it would cause any harm coz being in the city it could live anywhere now and maybe i should have thought about it more...but yeah if you wanna take it down go for it. i just couldnt believe my luck spotting it, thats all. i wouldnt ever post up pics of a mini somewhere it could easily be found, not after what has happened to me!
