They had people driving around in cars with roof mounted cameras taking photos.

Some intersting things I have found so far...
The rented house I was given notice to leave from in 2002 because it was being demolished is still there, same as always. It coincided with me getting an interstate job though so I had to leave anyways... The photo's range from about 2 to 8 months old. One pic I saw has my XR6 I got rid of in February. Still way cool application though. My brother was photographed in front of his house washing his car with his backside in the air - still laughing about that! Good thing no builders crack was showing, and he was using a bucket and not a hose! The Sydney CBD photo's seem to be taken on a weekend with no-one around and cars parked in weekday loading zones. Wonder if any people's cars will be found where they were not supposed to be - like an ex's or something? I agree, pretty amazing stuff.

the one outside my place was taken on a wednesday (all the bins are out for collection) and I think it may have been a while ago cos i cant see my car in the drive (maybe before i moved in cos my place was vacant for a while and there is no bin out for it) though warradale seems to be pretty recent cos the new flats next to grandma are already there

I had a look at my joint...
My Dad has his back to the camera, his pants hanging low, painting the house numbers on our gutters. Some places in Tasmania haven't been done...

this is brilliant. Yeah I'd say Hobart pics are about 5 months old.
Strange though that they have done all sorts of stupid roads way out of town but they haven't done the major roads in Hobart. why is that. too many people to blank out? I found some nice girlies to look at. |

It must of taken them ages to get all of the photos, there are tonnes !. I managed to stumble across this picture which actually captured the car itself that is taking the picture, you can see part of the setup on the boot of the car.

My address still has my coupe parked out the front. It was moved to a mates address over 6 months ago for the resto. I check his house and i can see it there as well. I think they must be multiplying

yeah see this is pretty cool, very cool. however it is a complete invasion of privacy. all number plates on cars in driveway plainly obvious.. let alone being able to scope out someones house very easily. From the car in my driveway, i'd say the photo's were taken late last year at the earliest.

By a weird trick of timing, our old Fairlane By Tickford appears parked outside three different houses at different corners of Brisbane. 16 Wyena St, Camp Hill is the hero shot.

Our street hasn't been done yet. It's pretty cool though- our son looked up Hollywood and had a look down Sunset Boulevard.
