    Google Maps street view challenge

    Anyone want to play some?

    The idea with this is that you be will asked to find a specific thing in Google maps street view and
    then post a link to the view in Google maps street view where that specific thing can be seen.
    The first one to post a link to street where that specific thing is visible can ask for a new challenge
    however it can sometimes be difficult if the one who asks for the challenge will approve it or not
    so in those cases it would be wise to wait for approval before posting a new challenge.

    You can ask for pretty much anything like a special type of car or a wind surfer or someone
    dressed as superman or an elephant or some one doing something (like standing on their head,
    painting a house or etc) as long as it follows the general rules for this forum (meaning no offensive
    or adult content or anything like that). You can be as specific or as general as you want, only
    your imagination is the limit.

    You don't have to know in advance if the thing you are looking for is one visible in street view or not.
    Also to keep this thread going I think a time limit of 48 hours is suitable.
    So if no one has been able to find that thing within 48 hours it's ok to ask for a new challenge.

    So the first challenge is to find a sports car.

    You're so beige, you probably think this signature is about someone else.

    yeah first one looks really awesome. It would be nice to see Clarkson try to get into it. :P

    The second one is correct though so it's your turn.

    Yayy, headed for a part of London that I knew would have some expensive cars (although most of them were Range Rovers!)


    Alright, next on is 'an umbrella'

    Does the umbrella have to be held by a person or is a statue fine?
