Google Street View treasure hunt!
Simple concept, could be fun. Requires good, honest participation.
Respond to the previous post type game.
I'll start with a criteria to find on google maps street view. The person that finds the object will post a direct link to street view, the chain icon found in the top right corner of the left hand panel. Preferably, tick the short URL box for convenience.
As an example, if the criteria would be "find tractakid" (a bad example for an in game criteria, as this is the only example i'm aware of)), the link you would need to post is: http://goo.gl/maps/fHL3
The person that meets this criteria will then choose a new criteria, OF WHICH THEY MUST HAVE FOUND AN EXAMPLE THEMSELVES.
if no one finds anything within 5 days, anyone may post with a new criteria to find. It may be wise to add restrictions, such as 'within London' or another geographical location.
This game requires a good dosage of common sense.
The first criteria is: A DISTRICT LINE UNDERGROUND TRAIN, excluding trains at depots.

Will more than one tree do, or does it have to be just one?

If more than one is acceptable, please find one here! : http://goo.gl/maps/5eG8
If this is also acceptable, please can someone find a dog being walked somewhere in the UK?

I believe this is an U-Bahn train. It took me a while to find!

Find me a reflection of the street view car taking the image! (or, alternatively, an image of another street view car)

Did you choose that knowing that the entire bloody EX-NLL was undergoing engineering works on the day Google took a picture of London?

That's a Silverlink 313 isn't it? And does that mean it's my turn?

Re: Google Street View treasure hunt!
OK then. I would like you to find a Smart Fortwo that is NOT parked at/outside/near/within reasonable distance of a Smart or Mercedes dealership.
