I have been sorting out the paperwork today in readiness for getting my van registered on the road in the UK. I came across a receipt with the previous owners details on it, and thought i would have a look at where my van used to live on google street view.....
It kind of freaked me out a bit when i zoomed in only to discover that my actual van, that has been in the UK for over 2 years, is parked on the driveway on google street view in America.
How cool is that. I even have a photo from the ebay ad that is almost the same as the google picture, you can even make out the log wedged under the back wheel.
Click on this rather long link below, and compare to the photo i have from ebay...

Just thought i would share that with you. Also, my favourite guitarist is called Nuno Bettencourt, and the van lived on Bettencourt street....
