A thought for a new thread.
A car related Google Street View thread where you post up pics of cool car found on Google Street view. Would love to see some old school GTs or just any 70's muscle. But maybe anything of interest, Exotics, Street Machines, hot rods. I thought of this as I spotted a cool FJ parked in front of the Newport Arms Hotel in Google street view but I have no idea how to post it on here. Probably too old I guess. |

If you have the street view open and the camera pointed at what you want to link to, there is a little button over on the left side of the page, just under the search bar, and it looks like links of a chain. If you click that button it'll give you a link that you can post here.
Eg: http://goo.gl/maps/9Ebg4 |

Not exactly "exotic"...
But this is my Celica outside my former workplace in Bundaberg...Bundaberg Brewed Drinks on Bargara road. Tells me how long since they've updated their street view...I haven't worked there for over five years... |

Yes, but it has to be a stitch up, surely. The Dukes Highway is not a quiet little back road. It is the interstate highway between Adelaide and Melbourne.

There a rotten hk(ish) two door dying in a front yard not far from me, but I can't link it up cos my ipad is about as useful as tits on a bull.
Pretty sure I linked it up on here years ago too. |

This is a rare late Dodge Phoenix
This one here is just down the road and has a few other abandoned Holdens. |

This isn’t really exotic, or erotic for that matter but it’s my old BA before I bought my current Fairlane. There’s a bit of a gap in the boot lid as I copped a Liberace a few days before and had to wait a while to get her into the panel shop. https://maps.google.com/maps?q=West+...200.24,,0,10.1

Just stumbled on this XY a very flukey find
https://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=e...55.04,,0,12.83 I stumbled on my own xb just 100 metres away from the above location a few years earlier. This was also pretty flukey considering I have only ever parked there a couple of times. That street view has been replaced since so only have the screenshots:
