Re: What have you done with the Mclaren F1 Driving Ambition original POSTER?

To answer your question - I've used my original copy as a handy source of information for more than a decade, and boy does it show.



Before I get crucified, I have a few other copies that are still nice and new. My problem with framing one up is that I don't love the photo McLaren chose for the reverse shot and even a brand new copy has those annoying creases from being folded.

I think if I were going to have a photo of chassis #075 framed I'd take either one of these hi-res shots (prob the second one) clean it up a bit and have it printed at 72 dpi giving you a finished photo size of 41" x 32" (or 104 cm x 81 cm). I might even crop the second one so you lose the opening of the hangar at the top - it would still print at 24" tall (or 61 cm) with that edit.

BTW: For those who may have missed out on my earlier post - here is the other thing I did with the Chassis History section of the poster:

Hey Peloton, thank you for your post. Knowing you ( your posts ) i can clearly see that you are the biggest fan of mclaren F1 in the World! and i can understand that you have given a GOOD and PROPER use for the original Poster ! I never opened mine but only after 5 years, because this Forum is enough to keep well updated about Mclaren f1.

In fact, i do not like either the Mc. picture they chose for this poster. In fact that's why i had to think a couple of times which side would be better to expose on the frame. Then the idea came up with glass on both sides. The folding marks, i convinced the frame people to help me to get rid of them the most they could. And i think they tried. howhever, those marks still remain and will never go away no matter how smashed the picture will be betwen the 2 crystal glasses.

Thank you very much for sharing your pics of the original poster, and also the pics for 075 Chassis in other angles. I could try to make a second poster with one of those pics... Someday!

Regards from Colombia, in South America.
Joe.
