Just before it goes into production I thought I'd give a bit of creative advice. I've been working with Russ my artistic director and we've come up with this as a first draft. It's just to suggest the way you might like to go with the styling - but I think you'll agree it's a massive improvement on the original. If you aren't sure I can assure you categorically that it is art - just check with Ferryman - I do all his 'touching up' (purely on a consultancy basis of course). Obviously it needs finishing but we need to talk fees before I get onto that.

Anyway you can have this one for free Brendan

I concede Sladey's work on the poster design is superb.
My only observation would be that the silver car with orange stripe should be much larger than the other pictures.
Try twice the size (linear) so that particular car occupies four squares.
I'm confident it will be much improved. :)

This was the guy camped behind us - apparently it had a real ferrari V12 engine in it. On the Sunday afternoon he was showing people around his car. We later heard he'd had a smash and police brought him back that night to pick up some papers and then take him away again. He seemed physically OK but not a happy way to end your week-end
