Do you believe this place people are now moaning that the organisers are "short sighted" in ordering only 555

Down to 181 left!

As long as they stick to the 555 and not do another run "due to popular demand" and lose some of the exclusivity.

I can see how some may be a bit miffed at not all the participants being able to get there hands on one but then I also see why they have limited it to 555.

You will never please everyone Phil.......Surely you know that by now!

Look at it from the organisers perspective

There were just over 1,000 cars there, but everyone had more than one person in their car which means that there may have been 3,000 odd people there. Some with kids, some with friends.

How on earth would you guess at estimating how many to make?

555 copies seems like a fitting number. bearing in mind it's significance, and that approx half of the car drivers there might want one.

The other half wouldn't be allowed by their respective partners, "you're not putting that up in my house"

I've gone for the covert approach, it will just 'appear' on the wall as if by magic.........

Just received this from the Mcrae Gathering...

"Blimey - we thought there was some sort of "credit crunch" thingy going on and people weren't spending money, but uptake on the Gathering limited edition aerial photos has been phenomenal with over 400 orders for them in less than 24 hours! We set initial stock levels in the shop at 500 out of the 555 total available. Once the 500 are gone we WILL add limited stocks, but have had to set some aside at the moment due to pre-orders and those being given to the people who made this event happen, such as Jimmy McRae and Prodrive.

One thing we should probably have mentioned at the same time as announcing these limited edition prints is that we will be making A1 sized posters of the aerial photo available in unlimited quantities so the 555 limited photos at the frameable size are not the only way to get a picture of this amazing event. The posters won't be to the same quality or have the logos and text etc and probably too big to hang in your front room! but will still feature the record breaking mosaic."

I see they waited until they sold the photos before letting everyone know about the posters.
