Kinko's or a camera/photo store may be able to make a nice, large print. I found this on an F1 board.

Holy crap there should be some sort of warning on that thing. I think flames were about to shoot out my desktop after it tried to load an image that big while also playing a video.

It's 9362x6622 so it's a huge picture. I recommend to close any videos/music before viewing since it requires a lot of CPU power. I have an Athlon XP 3000+ and it still takes a lot to view the pic at full size.

A good friend of mine works for a high end house builder and I already pointed this out to him. We always use his huge printers at work to make cool posters out of large pics like this. So I should have some very nice 55" x 36" copies by the end of the day. Full color and laminated to boot!

Yup, we've got one printed out in the 55"x36" size. It's pretty sweet - each car is about 2.5" long and the writting underneath each car is about the size of newspaper print. It took like an hour and a half to send the file to the printer and get it actually printed out. We're now contemplating printing out the top half in that siza and the bottom half in another of that size. That would make about a 9.5'x6' two-piece poster!
Haha, not going to happen most likely, but it would be sweet!

I printed out some 13x17 ones for the guys at work... still legible. Its interesting enough just being able to see the progression of the car silhouettes. THanks!!

I wonder how long it would take to put that 18mb pic through the Rasterbator! I'll find the name of the person who drew the cars but I'm thinking it may be Paolo D'Alessio.

Any of you able to view the pic easily? My comp is an Athlon XP 3000+ maxed out with 2x1GB PC2700 RAM, 64mb allotted to onboard video. It takes a while just to view the pic, especially when I move the scroll bars.
I've tried viewing the pic with a P3 933mhz 512mb PC133, Celeron 1.8ghz 384mb PC2100, and my work computer that's a P4 2.8ghz HT 512mb PC3200 and all those three locked up.

on my PC, a couple year old athlon xp w/ 768mb of ram and radeon card views the pic fine in IE. Scrolls fine, no lag.
Havent tried loading it into photoshop though.

Boost the AGP aperture size to 1/4th of your total system RAM.

...and here it is! This picture is of the back wall of my living room. For perspective sake, that couch at the bottom of the picture is at least 7.5ft long. It took up that whole freaking wall and looks absolutely amazing! It is too pieces and the print quality is pretty damn good. Oh yea, and it was free!
