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"

nah, hamster quitting the challenge to avoid damaging Oliver for me was laughing so hard at the challenges I couldnt drink my tea

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

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

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

holy cr*p they sold out in 35 hours unbelieveable :waving-santa: now i need to start the process of packing and shipping these. we'll be doing all we can to get the prints out to you as quickly as we can I'd allow up to 28 days for delivery, the lab havent printed alll the prints yet.

so you sending us a dodgy cheque then?! :waving-santa:

Richie, Yes I think we'll need to do the poster, given how quickly these limited prints are shifting and that not everyone will be able to afford one or buy one before stocks run out. thing is, we've not started working on a design and dont have a supplier - it will take us a couple of weeks to get this in place (the bunch doing the limited print dont have the equipment to do posters too). I'm also wary of timeframe - I dont want the post-event fundraising/merchandising dragging out, and certainly not past Christmas.

its here... its here... we've finally finished it we're selling the record breaking aerial picture of spelling Colin's name in subarus after a lot of to'ing and fro'ing in terms of what we wanted it to look like, after me driving the photo lab mad with 5 different amendments we've decided simple is best and selected the core of what we believe captured the event. the main output from the McRae Gathering WAS the mosaic image, the record breaking image, the "ooh thats me in the middle of the R" image a reasonable 36' x 12' in size, we are only producing 555 of these prints, for £40 (+£7 p&p) so be quick, buy your own souvenir online here they're selling at the rate of one per minute so far If you're not fast you're....

liking the colour of the sport

looking good surprised Craig's wagon needed detailing - it always looks immaculate mine on the other hand

good stuff was wanting a copy of the footage of the convoy leaving Banbury they shot from the helicopter (my car was the 1st car) but they were having none of it at least their coverage will be staying online for a bit

thanks for taking the pic Paul, those mirrors change the view quite a bit too wee for me, but suit your car tho

welcome, lovin the WR1

hmm not sure about the mirrors, they look nice but how practical are they? Paul can you take a pic of the view you get from wing mirror from the drivers seat...... they look awfa small from the external pics...

great news Cal, that car has been well looked after and sensibly modded by its 2 previous owners. well chuffed you decided to go for Pedals car and even better that you bought a classic

I didnt have any images of the mosaic at the time so couldnt send them through to the publishers
