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.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i45.photobucket.com-12654-1310435277.1.jpg) 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. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i45.photobucket.com-12654-1310435277.2.jpg) 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. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i45.photobucket.com-12654-1310435278.3.jpg) 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). (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i45.photobucket.com-12654-1310435278.4.jpg) 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! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i45.photobucket.com-12654-1310435279.5.jpg) 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. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i45.photobucket.com-12654-1310435279.6.jpg) 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. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i45.photobucket.com-12654-1310435280.8.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i45.photobucket.com-12654-1310435280.9.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i45.photobucket.com-12654-1310435281.10.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i45.photobucket.com-12654-1310435281.11.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i45.photobucket.com-12654-1310435282.12.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i45.photobucket.com-12654-1310435282.13.jpg) 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! |
