Challenge: Find a Merkur or cosworth on google maps

Post by pacwest »

I "found" a Scorpio and a XR with a RS500 wing here:

Yes, these are my cars but safely said they are not there any more.

Let's see your Euro Ford finds.

I've seen XR's on Google Maps before, but I don't think the owners want me posting the pinpoint locations of their house.

here you can see the vanilla bean when it was still red. it's under the trees parked on the street. not the red car in the driveway of the neighbor.


ok, i can;t figure out how to put a link from google maps here. so the address is 245 stacey lee dr., westminster, md 21158

if someone could put it up for me.
