Lanark-Prodrive-Convoy-3 Colin McRae Gathering 2008: Convoy from Lanark to Banbury 30-31st August, more videos plus aerial photograph of the mosaic

Youtube videos of the convoy on it's way to, and at, Banbury where around 1000+ Subarus will have joined to form the biggest convoy by a single marque. Today the gathering will have been to Prodrive to orchestrate an aerial photograph of the cars to spell the name Colin. It appears the record was broken for the photograph of the mosaic but it is unclear if a record was made for the convoy.

The aerial photograph of 1086 Subarus spelling Colin at the McRae Gathering 2008:
