I was just getting into my car this morning when I saw a car coming down the road with a bit tripod thing on the roof.
It had Google livery on the doors and so I stayed where I was until it went down and back up the road just to make sure I got maximum exposure
.
Having said that I'm embarrassed to admit that last year I fell for an April fool prank when my local radio station spent a week building up a story about the Google satellite going overhead in our area. Yes, I was stood on the car park at work at 9am hoping my image would be captured for posterity. It took about 10 minutes for the penny to drop and for me to realise the date
.
I was very excited when my partner found our old house and our car was still parked there, making the picture three years old. He also found a photo of us pushing our daughter in the pram in a nearby street, which was funny (again three years ago).
Are they doing an up to date one?
<wonders when it'l be in my area so i can stand in the garden and get my tits out

What's exciting about it though? Is it some kind of "5 seconds of fame" thing?

I saw one in Cardiff last week, it was parked in the street next to DS's primary school just after I dropped him off. Must have just pulled up as it wasn't there on the way to school.
I had to walk past it to go home & I confess I spent a minute or so wondering what I could do to dither about in front of it, but then realised the driver was looking at paperwork and probably wasn't filming anyway.
Still, I did have a little frisson of excitement, so YANBU.

Chaos I thought you'd be too busy in the hairdressers/coffeeshop/MNing working hard to worry about such things
.
Fellatio do you really think that people like I do to everyone I know spend time searching the adresses of people they know on Google street view?
You'll be suggesting next I they also look at the size of my neighbours' other people's gardens on satellite view

(no, I'm not that interesting that a million people would pick my house to look at though!)

YABU. I think it's creepy that a periscope goes round looking at everyone's house.
Yes, several people do go along the street each day and look at houses/people. However, I wouldn't expect a million people outside my house with a periscope, which is what Google Street View amounts to, as it's viewable by millions.

lucy your DD is so cute!
TidyBush you amateur! Now these guys, that's what I call dedication.
Type in Rugdeveien 39, Bergen, Norge.
Look west.
And then run this sequence up and down the street.
Holy heck! Nobody's mentioned throwing anything at it yet
- I would if I saw it. Very pleased I live on an upper floor well set back from the road.

Plus, we should be given advance notice so we can sweep the driveway and trim the hedges. [sad middle class Margot/Hyacinth emoticon]

I got very pissed off when I discovered that the day the google street view camera came to my house, the only car on the drive was the cleaner's measly specimen, and not either of our rather nice expensive ones. 
So anyone I haven't seen for years who is interested enough to spy on my house and see how much money I've got will think it's mine. I think there should be a right to reply on this very important matter of misrepresentation.
I feel affronted.

Didn't notice the car either. I got caught in my previous car, waiting for the kids to get out of school. Unfortunately I was preening myself in the rear view mirror and making a troll-like face. Oops!
We got lost in a village looking for a bakery and ended up in loads of the shots cos the Google car was driving round at the same time we were... it's bizarre but quite exciting.
I followed a Google car in Sheffield on Wednesday! I over took him when I had chance to have a good look accross
Hoi!
Where was my HeadsUp?
I could have wunked at them.

<<lives 2 minutes away>>
My cat was in the google street view of our old house! I wonder when they're doing our new one?!?!
I must admit my first thought on reading your thread title was "I wonder if she mooned it?"
But then I am just very, very childish.

I'm getting DD out of the car on mine. You can't really make out my face very clearly but I look rough as a bear's arse and dead pissed off. I didn't notice the car either!

Lol I found my sister on street view and text her to tell her.She didn't even notice there was a camera there.I had to laugh at that tbh and I also seen dps dad in the front room window asleep haha
Lol at tit flashing. I was telling my mate about the Google cars so she insisted we found her house and there she was putting her rubbish out looking a right royal mess 
There was a funny thread about that once. I liked the post from the lady who had an empty wine bottle visible in her window
