Not so much a pic but, my old metro advantage and my civic diesel that blew it's gasket and used to hydroloc. Getting my drive block paved at the time.
This must be over ten years ago. How often does maps update?

Hubnut sticker covering a graze on the rear arch where I scraped it on the pub wall. The shame of it.

Google updates seem to be hit-and-miss. Guess it is where their camera van actually goes. SiC can probably tell you but my house is in a blocked-off cul-de-sac (you can't drive right round it). Views on Google of each approach from the main road are 10 years apart. My T25 is in both of them....

On a PC browser (rather than mobile) it tells you when the pictures were taken in the bottom right.

It's updated when the Google maps car drives by. Sometimes that can be a long time if not a major road.

More rozzers, in the colour pic it's Donald Campbell's E-type and possibly him in the bobble hat.
