You can see the co-od bottom left (gps), look for Barnton (NW Edinburgh), it lies South West of there (the nearest field)
The Flying car looks like a billboard, or something of similar shape judging by the shadow, people assume it's a car as there are quite a few cars nearby. My assumption anyway!
A famour street, Lombard Street, San Francisco

You want to see the section just left of the picture. Very steep indeed, and a very busy road at the bottom.

Some of the sights you find in Google Earth are just plain mysterious. for example, why is a fighter jet parked (see img below) (google earth coordinates 48.825183,2.1985795) in what looks to be a residential neighborhood lot near paris???
