It more sounds like the blogger is trying to get credit for something he/she didnt do. I very much doubt they were bright enough to tie their own shoe laces let alone write a fake story, some of their coments were great i.e "I chose Victoria street cos Victoria beckham is attractive" or what ever he/she said.

I've seen the Google Street Car a few times over the last few months, so there might be a update soon

Microsoft are due to film their equivalent (for use with Bing Maps) in Sheffield in December - we might get a snow covered Sheffield.

Did anyone else see the Google Street Car in Woodseats this morning at about 10.30? I thought at first it was a police CCTV car out of Dr Who. It really does look like the ones in the link below except it was white with colouring like a police car.

I was behind it at the bottom of city Road on Wednesday.

I've also seen it on Broad Lane last week.

We had a Tom Tom car in our road with loads of equipment on the roof. Think it was a big Volvo 4x4

we're well over due as they normally scan smaller cities once a year!
