Yay! I've found me and the missus already. Here.
There's no vibrations, but wait.

YACF IS ON GOOGLE MAPS!!!

We were on our way home when the car passed us..

(You may have to turn around and look back down the road if this linky shows and empty road.... Looking up the road from behind you can see me wearing a nice red YACF jersey - my son is riding on the left.)

I think StreetView is amazing BUT they seem to have kept it at bay in Germany.  Can anybody else get it to work over there? Much of the rest of Europe seems to be covered.

Whee! I can see my house from here! :smug:
It takes blood and guts to be this cool but I'm still just a cliché.

I hope the camera van was going the other way, otherwise that's the worst overtake I've seen in a long time.   ;D

Yes,
He was going the other way...
If you look downhill from the next position up the road, you can see both of us waving at the car coming towards us although, with the trademark Google blurring, you can't see much of the wave...

Very strange the road I live on seems to be to pictures taken about 3mths apart as one has my old car then another has my latest car.

How does one get streetview?  I just get Google maps.   ???

On the zoom tool drag the little man onto the street.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

At the top end of the zoom in / zoom out tool in the top left part of your map, there's a little orange human figure.
Drag this onto your street of choice - If the street you're dragging it to does not change to being highlighted in blue, it means they've not been down there with a camera.

EDIT - Or the abridged version ^ from pcolbeck  :)

I wonder how long it took and how much it cost to drive every road in the UK?

Wow!  That's good.   Thanks.  

Due to certain 'features' I can identify the exact day and within an hour of when our street was GV'd.

Bloomin heck our house is on there. I did't know they had been out here as we live in a very out of the way place.

My house

Edited to show the correct village not my house itself.

I don't think that is your house, you know.  (seems to be now).  And I'm not sure publishing the real link is a great idea.
