Hey all Some time ago, I started a Google Earth Spotting thread. Back then, only US cities and Paris had streetview. Not, most of France, England, Italy, Netherlands have streetview, and I thought we should have a thread for car spotting in Europe. I imagine that Rome, Paris and London will have huge numbers of exotics hidden in the streets So, start finding them and posting here So far, I have around 15 exotics in London. Will post them soon.

Cool idea! As far as I know this is on the Google Earth program right? And also, how do you enable the street view feature, I did it once by accident but never could figure out how. Does it work anywhere, or is it in select areas? Once I figure out how, I will start looking! -Ray
When you open up the Google Earth program, down in the left corner, there is a checkbox called " Street View" - Just click it.. Voila
Grey Ferrari 360 Spider in front of Harrods. Black Audi R8 with a new Bentley getting delivered next to it on S Audley St. White Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder on Walton St. Another White G Spyder on Milner St. Blue Ferrari 550 Maranello in Berkeley Square. Grey Ferrari 599 Fiorano in Berkeley Square. Grey Noble M400 on Davies St. (Looks sick!) Silver Ferrari 360 Spider on Davies St. I'll look for more later, just wasted about 40 minutes!
Does anyone other than me think that this Google program is scary as crap?? But cool with the car spottings. Just can't get these Big Brother thoughts out of my head.
Haha, I know how you feel. I have done that a lot of times now Cant find the Fezza on Davies st. Where is it?
Haha! I can't find it myself now! I think it was one of those glitches, that you can only see it from a distance and its gone when you get closer.
I had a hunch that was the case.. I found a yellow LP640 driving around that way, and now I cant find it
Red 430 spider at Knightsbridge Green, London (hiding behind a couple of bus shelters). Edit: seems it has a red soft top? Image Unavailable, Please Login
Theres a grey Aston Martin on Markham st in London and another grey Aston on Elystan st, also in London. *edit* Down the street from the Aston on Elystan st is a blue Maserati QP
Also: Dark grey F430 in Grosvenor Square, London. Grey 612 Scaglietti in Place Concorde, Paris. A friend of mine has "spotted" a red 512 BB also in Place Concorde, Paris - I couldn't find it yet Also I was told about an amazing ferrari meeting in Rome, search in google maps like this: Piazza Santiago del Cile, Lazio, Roma I realized about this unorthodox way of Ferrari spotting just a couple of days ago. Maybe this thread needs a more explaining title or even being in a more apporpriate sub-forum? So that everyone aware of this idea can find such thread and post their spots? Just my thoughts...
Whoa! I finally found the 512 bb! It's in the "outer ring" of the place, as if it were coming from the champs elysees. Very nice spot!
There's a silver 612 Scaglietti in at least 3 out of 4 corners (!!!) of Avenue George V with Pierre 1e de Serbie/Pierre Charron in Paris!!!
345 N Rodeo Dr, Beverly Hills, CA, United States There's a black 360 Spider. Looks like this is of little interest around, huh?
Hehe, it comes in periods. The threads gets revived every now and then when people stumble upon something on G-Earth. I have found quite a few cars around Europe. Go to Ferrari and Lamborghini.com and find out where the dealers are located and start looking ;D - The dealer in Limonest is cool. Just keep posting when you find something, people are watching
Hi Jonas, I would consider anyway a possible change in the name of this thread, since I think the "street view" feature is by far the most appropriate for these kind of spots, I don't even have Google Earth installed, I just browse through the areas of the world with "street view" available. Also, I'm not sure this "Showroom" subforum gives this thread all the visibility it might need. Finally, dealer spotting is way toooo easy!!! It would be like going fishing to an aquarium! The real challenge for me is to find Ferraris in "unexpected" places (well, kind of... )
I know, it is for me 2 I have found alot also This is only from London ;D Image Unavailable, Please Login
All black Murcie LP640 in front of the Dorchester in London..
