    maps.live.com has better imagery of the greystones area: http://tinyurl.com/cc4vfn. It also has good aerial photography of Bray and Bray Head: http://tinyurl.com/dgxah9

    I saw the Google car as well this morning - they're mapping Dublin city at the moment, I would guess the driver is living in Charlesland...

    That's what I figured too. I've seen the car a few times coming and going in the estate, but not actually taking pictures.

    Sorry to drag this back up, but the car drove into my estate today, around every corner. Was out for a walk at the time, seen it drive around the other estates too. Im guessing they are doing Gstones!

    Saw it on the N11 passing Bray turn off yesterday.

    For some reason it reminded me of the Blues Brothers
