It's only the one on the left that's mine!

It's Google Maps, and then on the left hand side they'res a little yellow man that you drag onto the road and you can see street view :)

I checked my drive and i wasn't in :o

Then i remembered i had seen a funny looking car with loads of cameras a month or so back, so i followed the roads and found this sexy lil car driving towards me :P
