    Don't get too excited just yet. We had the Red Astra one in Kilkenny City nearly three years ago. Not showing on the map yet.

    Google has been known to use a red Astra.

    Yeah, but I suspect a few other people might own one too. Just a hunch. (Granted that not so many will own the dalek-ish thing on top.)

    You in a car with a camera were going to take a picture of another car with a camera. Odd indeed

    ... I hope it was there during the night. That would certainly be something to see - all the shocked faces and naked body parts!

    Looks like Google's street maps are due to go live some time today (as of 11am not seeing any changes yet on maps.google.ie)

    Right now I'm in my bedroom looking into my bedroom to see if you can see me.

    There's something weird about that.

    If I could search my posts further back than the most recent 500, I could locate the date I saw it on the Dublin Rd, by the post office. I made a shortcut to Google maps around then, to make it easy to check if it was live yet, the shortcut was created 24/6/09. However I'm nowhere to be seen on StreetView :-(( , maybe they went back after the works on Dublin Rd ?

    There are Ocean Race posters up around shop street if that's any help...

    Also look at the docks.. if you go towards sheridan's and look over to the race village there's a marquee up but then when you go to the site itself it's just wasteland..

    One more hint.. Just remembered the countdown clock on the aquarium and it says 0 days left to ocean race so it must have been sometime after the race

    Edit again... The speakers are still up along the prom from the ocean race time so basically it was sometime in or around those dates

    I found my house, and spotted my mum and the neighbour out in the garden yapping!! Hilarious!

    It must have been before the schools closed, as there are tonnes of school age kids in the estate where I live, and not one is in the shot; one little lad who is only about three so not at school!
