July 2004 is when it was done apparently,
Not to hard to see my work van, and the closest dark car was my old grey sapph at my girlfriends old house.

the age of the pictures is not the same the world over. some are quite old, some are very new.

there's thousands of sites on the net with amazing things that you can see. one of my favourites is the word 'DAVE' ploughed in a field in Illinois.

if you want to capture the whole screen nath, just press the 'PrtSc' button and it puts it on the clipboard. you can then open paint or whatever and paste it and save the image for uploading.

if you want to capture just the active window, press 'AltGr & PrtSc' together and paste as before.
