Nice stuff! I just tried it out last week for the first time. Amazing technology. I don't really need to fly to NYC anymore - I can roam up and down Central Park from my living room. Cool

I do,but it appears Rep of Ireland is private property,nothing of interest

Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?

... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt

The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

Jack, your not the only one, sometimes I spend hours upon hours on Google street view, you can find some good stuff if you know where to look.

All captured in the Philadelphia area.

Coolest Mack cl713 I have ever seen!


Stepvan to stake bed conversion.


Sewer construction, notice the big trash pump to keep the sewer dry, and a komatsu pc 200 lc-6 (lc-5 wannabe)




Red American


Amquip Manitowoc 2250 setting precast concrete panels for a parking garage.


Gantry Cranes at the philadelphia convention center expansion




Liebherr ltm 1250? also at the project.


I have not yet seen my self on google street view, but I did see my friend in his garage on street view, he was giving the google car driver a weird look.

Only problem I've found is some of the pics that are used are or could be older photos.

I did that and found a place I used to live in and asked my one relative who live in the city if it was still there and he told me it was torn down about 1-2 years ago!!!

So I don't know if they use up to date shots or not, guess it depends on where they get them from.

Nice pics guys!!!

Dain

I'm a kid at heart, so I will play with any model construction vehicle from 1:87 scale to 1:1 scale!!!!

Age is a state of time NOT a state of mind!!
