john mac Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 :waving-santa: Totally gutted , i missed this, in the same boat as you Neil, been away for 3 days , just logged on and find there sold oot. Surely if there is demand for them,then they could have done more, after all it would be more money for the jerviswood trust .555 prints is not a lot when you consider how many cars took part.
the squiggle Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 John and Neil you will be sorted so dont worry

It is one of the very very last ones i have here but it is quite appropriate that it is going to youThanks for your help in designing the sticker which adorned so many cars that weekend it genuinly was scary And may i add an apology to Neil for my outbust on requesting a sticker after the event, when quite rightly he more than deserved one having designed it. sorry Neil. Craig.
scouk Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Easy for me to say as I manged to get my order in, but it's nice to see you took the same route as prodrive/Subaru for limited editions.. They've always tried to make the right numebr of special edition Imprezas.. Checked out demand, and made a little less than demand.. That way they sell everyone yet there's still demand for more! This keeps the prices up as the market isn't flooded and makes them more special! Fortuantely as mentioned earlier there will be other versions of the poster (not limited admitedly) but at least everyone can have the opportinity to have something to remember the event by :waving-santa: . o O (I'm actually surprised there was as much as 555 available! Was expecting about 250 or something :santa: But I guess 555 is a nice round number ) P.s. There's no way in h*** mine will be appearing on eBay!
micra_wrc Posted October 31, 2008 Author Posted October 31, 2008 thanks Al, nice to read and respond to a positive post about this and not having to address the moans and grumbles that have arisen elsewhere xx
micra_wrc Posted November 1, 2008 Author Posted November 1, 2008 t3hwit sorry Shaun they went faster than Colin over the finishing line some other news about the limited prints... We're going to keep the first 5 and get them signed, the last 5 will be put on Ebay International. We're also wanting to get 5 "000" prints made up and give them to Jimmy, Nicky, Derek, David Richards and David Lapworth
thefastone Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 So whats the score with the First 5 Signed prints then Imy? you going to draw orders out of a hat or something? Ive said it before, and I'll say it again, ye's are doing a grand job!

The intention is for the first 5 to be signed but we still have to find the people to sign and get them to do the deed This may take some time so these will be sold off at a later date once we have them signed. News of there signing status will be updated through time
thefastone Posted November 1, 2008 Posted November 1, 2008 Nice one, so special ones to look out for then!
craigdmcd Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 I am another that was unable to order when I first read the original post (on my work computer and don't like to order things through that), so I'm massively disappointed that I have not managed to order one. As a suggestion, would it not be possible to do a further run of the pictures that are not numbered, and hence not de-valuing the original run, as making them available. I would far rather give my money to the charity than some lowlife selling their's for profit or getting a fake from E-bay. As others have suggested, so many people were involved in the picture, and so many more were not available to attend the event due to other commitments that I'm sure another 300-500 could easily be sold. Just a thought.
micra_wrc Posted November 2, 2008 Author Posted November 2, 2008 Craig we ARE doing another run of the mosaic image, in the form of a A1 poster. this will not be limited in number and will be cheaper than the 555-numbered limited print
Dougie C Posted November 2, 2008 Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) Dang I missed the prints was hoping to get one but I've been in bed ill and didnt feel like going on PC Dougie C Edited November 2, 2008 by Dougie C

Both you and John Mac have one allocated to them Hopefully the rest, of which it numbers in the teens, will be put online towards the end of the week
john mac Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Cheers Grant , Thats great news, really appreciate that mate,Me and big Neil are happy bunnies will be great to have this as a token of one of the most memorable times of 9 yrs Scooby ownership and my life. p.s we were in the long part of the L, 2 rows in from the right and 6 down , behind an original white P1 .(pretty rare). Sorry for ranting just excited,let us know how we need to pay and a big thanks once again.

Sorry for ranting just excited,.... being upset that you missed out on a limited print is understandable - we know that there are not enough to go around and we are trying to be nice and help everyoneat least you were polite about it some of the emails we've got from folk via the Gathering website are awful... everything from "I cant believe I wasnt told about this, why wasnt I informed there are only 555 prints" to "it was my birthday that weekend, please can i get one" to this cracker so far "I sat through the disorganisation, the traffic jams and the rain only to be disappointed and let down"
thefastone Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Oh wow... I cant believe the nerve of some people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, what is it they expect? that everything is their right? that everything should be just handed to them on a plate???? Makes me sick... I just cannot believe that after all the hard work that you guys went through to make this happen, and some people are this selfish that they need to be like that...

zeolite Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I just want to say what a great job has been done by the "Gathering" organisers. How are you ever going to get back to normal? (Apart from Squiggle of course who has never been mormal). OUTSTANDING!
micra_wrc Posted November 3, 2008 Author Posted November 3, 2008 Thanks zeolite i'm not wanting any thanks or praise or sympathy, I just need some patience and understanding that the things that we do are thought through and discussed and that there are reasons for everything. we are trying to juggle our day jobs as well as responding to all the [daft] questions and are doing the best we can. I even fielded an email that asked why there was not a contact phone number for us if customers are experiencing problems with the shop (err because this is voluntary pal and we are not a business)
sti pretender Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Get your finger out Imy you've got Santa Crusie to organise. Only kidding Glasgow/Strathclyde members have got it covered. Keep up the good work, can't wait to get my print.

Will they look similar to the numbered prints? Shame I missed out though, I would dearly have loved a proper print to frame and put on the wall. (Grant was I meant to get one out of the boot of the car as I was fitting the Cat? )
man-with-men Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 When Ed asked for number 200 and somehting you could have just said "yep" and gave him anything lol
