That's just too cool  8)

I saw one of those recording vehicles drive through the netherlands. Wish they would produce it as a virtual tour as well. Unfortunately I think they only recorded the whole town just so the lazy civil workes don't need to get out of their chair when someone asks for a building permit  ::)
