i think a month or 2 google finished doing the whole UK (or at least most roads) in street view. so you can see almost the whole UK on there. it's really cool huh! here is another not tooooo far from me. just to get you jealous of some of the cracking driving roads around here

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=51.8237 ... 2,270,,0,5

absolutely epic road that one. EVO magazine test their cars on that road and it appears on their front cover quite a lot.

Can you see your car on street view?

Mines on there - if you look carefully... KT2 7RJ

sadly no, mine is in a big car park so they didn't go in there.

How can you save the image? Any ideas?

print screen? then paste it into something like MS paint, save as jpeg? might work.

voila. just needs cropping, or another pic if you wanted it zoomed out a bit more.

edit: removed pic

Did you use the method you'd suggested?

as you might be able to see if you look closely, i don't use windows, so didn't use MS paint obviously. but i can't see why it wouldn't work. i used a program which is sort of like screen print, it's just "screen capture" type thing. and saves it as a jpeg.

just press print screen button, open up paint and press ctrl+v and it should come up. then file>save as>save it as a .jpeg

hopefully it works

btw....i reply quick cos it gets sent to my email...and have my email open all the time. i'm not on the forums 24/7

edit: removed pic just in case, as it had post code etc on there.

cheers

Thanks. I saw you use Firefox. I tend to use Safari but some sites just don't like it.

Oh dear I'll be playing with the street view all the time now trying to find things!
Some cracking roads where you are though Ross, would love a good road trip there!

the roads around here are absolutely brilliant, i know all the good ones (or at least most of them

) north scotland is better, but a bit far away!

if ever you do fancy coming up from a drive around brecon beacons i'd be more than willing to show you the good ones

here, have another

this is one of my fave ones too as you can mostly see for miles, making any over takes really easy.

That's what I call a road!! Yeah north Scotland is great too...not much here, seeing as Herts has some of the worst condition roads in Britain!
Too many bloody bumps and holes to do anything decent!
