What are your favorite pieces of your "collection"? Options

I like to collect memorabilia, and particularly books. The pictures posted here don't even depict half of the stuff I own. I am an eclectic car guy (not just Porsches), but here are some of the neatest stuff I have in my Porsche section of the collection.

Very cool piece, still works, still in great condition, has been in the family for years. I have a second one that is in a bit worse shape, but also has a box. The one in the picture is always on my bookshelf, while the other one is tucked away in a closet.

Neat little pewter paperweight. I got this in my "press packet" in the Porsche hospitality suite at Sebring earlier this year. I keep it on display.

Excellence was Expected is the BEST Porsche reference material I have ever run across. Golden Era is the best reference material on the best era of racing (which Porsche dominated for a while).

I don't wear it often, as I don't want to ruin it, but I also got this hat down at Sebring. Darren Law, Marco Holzer, Pat Long, Joerg Bergmeister, Seth Neiman, and Marc Leib all signed it, and I love it!

The first race I ever went to was won by Penske Porsche RS Spyders. They sounded amazing, and I was instantly enamored. I even got to help push one to the grid.

The coolest poster I own. an original print from the Excellence was Expected book. Must be at least as old as I am...lol. I haven't had it long, but I really like it and proudly hang it in my living room.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i45.photobucket.com-12654-1310435279.7.jpg) I like collecting models, but I am absolute pants at putting them together. Still in the package, been discontinued for a while, but not worth a ton yet. Got it for a song.

The cornerstone of my livingroom decoration is the following set of posters. I got them directly from Porsche North America earlier this year. Very cool, and I am glad I got them.

The bookshelf is getting a bit full. It must be time to get another bookshelf!

Well, that's what I have for now. What do you have? I love this kind of stuff, so keep it coming!

This piece is the pride of my new garage. It is the Rear Wing from the Flying Lizard #44 - GT3 RSR, one of the rear mounts was cracked in an incident at Lime Rock Park in 2010. I have a connection from the team and was able to purchase the wing, as long as I signed a waiver for no use. I fabricated the uprights and the endplates and it turned out pretty nice. It is a nice conversation piece and is amazingly light and well built, the box it arrived in had 997 part #'s.




This is my favorite Porsche Piece. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

Wow, that is really neat. I have always enjoyed the Lizards. Seth is a great guy, and he always has the best drivers and team members.
