However, Maps does not have good enough resolution for the area, and I can't seem to find any pictures of it.

They took this to its logical conclusion and i have very vivid memories of a proper car attached to an advertising hoarding apprently just stuck on by wallpaper paste. Does anyone else remember this? I'm afraid i dont have a link to a Google Map Placemark because the time machine function on my laptop has been disabled but believe it or not there is still a advertising hoarding in the same position all these years later so if your computer has a time travel function and set it to around 1982 you may be able to see a Ford Cortina stuck to the side of this hoarding: http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&z=19&ll=53.498855,-2.25525&spn=0.000771,0.001816&t=k&om=1 In the UK in the early 80’s a well known brand of wallpaper paste ran an ad campaign where a chair was stuck to the wall and a man sat on it.

This is a BMW that looks like it's had a really bad accident and almost drove of the rooftop-parking: http://googlesightseeing.com/maps?p=&c=&t=k&hl=en&ll=51.924498,4.474689&z=19 It's possible to see the BMW in this image, but you can easily mis it (it's in the shadow of the tall building).
