OK! Lets see how many minis we can spot in Google Earth!

Your mission if you choose to accept is to make your mini visible on Google Earth by parking it somewhere where it will be photographed on Australia day by the low flying plane.

I will park mine on the street that day in the hope that my white roof and bonnet striped will be seen!

This message will self destruct on Auatralia day

Sounds like fun. How many people are going to do something "private" and have a giggle when they zoom in on Google Earth? A bit like the bloke who photographed his teapot for sale on eBay in the nude? i.e. he's clearly nude in the reflection of the teapot, leading to the phenomenon of "reflectoporn"

If you get enough cars, you could spell out MINI perhaps.

I agree with Angusdog , find somewhere nice and clear and central to where they are likely to be taking the photo's (around the harbour ?) and spell out mini with the cars .

Great ideas, anyone want to organise an event?? otherwise I will park my car somewhere obscure but still can be seen and I will have a "Where's Lillee" competition

I'm about 70 metres on the wrong side of the red line, but I know where to park the mini on Saturday morning.

Let's see if the pictures will be good enough to make out Bob Holden's signature.
