Default google earth cosworth

Was browsing a road for directions and low and behold a white sierra sapphire cosworth caught on Google earth street view camera

Latitude *********

Longitude *******

does it belong to anyone from this forum?

Maybe I've started a little game who can find rare cars on google street view

Brilliant. Just create a nice list of locations of rare/valuable cars. Might want to change the thread title to "please steal these"

To be fair to the original poster I'd guess that car would no longer be there as it is actually driving on the road an not on someone's drive

Don't see the problem with posting this as there's the same kind of information in the abandoned cars thread........

Bahahah, I love the fact the location of a car driving down a road was edited out I'm sure that 5 years after it was photographed, it's still there (that being said, it is a Ford, so it was probably broken down ), not to mention it's in the public domain anyway....

Edit - for all those that want to see it, here it is. I've taken the precaution of deleting the location, just incase this car is stolen as a result

To be fair i thought the the OP was talking about cars parked on peoples drive etc not actual cars on the move

if you owned a cossie & parked it on your drive, would you want its location posted here? seriously?

Of course not, but anyone that looked it up would see that wasn't the case, hence why I posted the pic. I'm not sure why the OP didn't post a pic in the first place, rather than Long and Lat co-ords....
