Default Who's got the fastest Impreza...according to Google Street View

Mine's in 3 places at once

Tucked up at home


Parked on the street, must have had visitors


And in the car park at work


Of course the wife maintains that as hers is the fastest, as they have not managed to snap her. Lets hope she has the same luck with the speed camera van that operates around here LOL

Anyone else got their's street viewed? Careful not to reveal the location tho

I found my first Impreza (a Hawkeye WRX) parked outside my house, and it didn't move at all so it must be the slowest.

Mind you when the Google survey car / van came around by my workplace they got some pretty good gestures for posterity.

how did you find 3 pics of yours? did you type the reg plate in somewhere, or did you just spend a while trawling through all the places you visit?

Enter your poscode straight into google.co.uk
select the map that comes up
then grab the little orange man in the top left corner and place him on the streets that turn blue
use the arrows in the compass type arrangement top left to turn around
double click on the circles that appear on the ground to move up and down the street

simples

have fun

There is no search by car reg or type. In fact google have gone to great lengths to hide the car reg numbers as so many people complained on privacy/security grounds. They still miss the odd one tho. If you look in the picture where I am parked at work you will find I had to cover one reg that google missed.

hehe, i just noticed that in your pic of your car parked at home, you have random bins lined up in the middle of the road!! Does your street get together and run some kind of "giant bowling" league?!

Lol.

Looks like the bin lorry is on the way. They send one bod out ten minutes ahead to group all the bins together. Makes for quicker pickup and keeps the dustcart moving. Another bod trails along behind and puts them all back where they came from, not always correctly. Is a good service tho and they are a pleasant bunch

Here they are
