The GOOGLE street view car in Winnipeg - actual pic


Hey Guys,

'The Show with Sarah and Jay' want to track this sucker down for Wednesday's show....here is a photo of the actual car on Bishop Grandin yesterday...(Courtesy of Chris of ChrisD.ca - Thanks!)

Let'em know where you see it on your morning drive, 780-9430 or theshow@curve943.com

They plan on doing a giant photo op with CURVE listeners in front of the building....

Make it happen people.

GOOGLE CAR!!!!!

As some of you may or may not know, Google has a feature on their maps section that allows users to see a 360 degree view of a streetscape in a selected city....

WELL it's Winnipeg's turn and a camera car is driving around the city video mapping out all the street scapes....

Jay and I couldn't let an opportunity like this pass us by so tomorrow we are going to be asking YOU to help us track down the camera car so we can have our picture taken and immortalized as part of the Winnipeg street scape FORVER (or at least 10 or so years until they revise it and come back)

So we are asking you to keep your eyes peeled for this sucker and if you or someone you know spot it in the next 24 hours..please send us an email at theshow@curve943.com so we can start tracking this baby down...

oh and as an added bonus...Jay and I are going to have our picture taken in full costume...Sarah will be in full hockey equipment and Jay has decided that he is going to dress up like Mr. Incredible

Thanks in advance

Sarah and Jay

ps.... here is a picture of what the car might look like...it's pretty hard to miss
