KMR 968 Turbo Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) Figured since we are all stuck at home during this time that we could take some pictures of our collectables and post them in this thread. So what have you got lurking around your place? I'll start with a couple of recent acquisitions - a pair of Al Holbert Team crew uniforms from the 962. One is a full uniform with the Miller Lite team and the other is a shirt from the Lowenbrau team. I also got this large (4 ft x 2.5 ft) cardboard 962 advertising piece with the shirt. All from the same owner. Turns out he raced a pink 935 at Rennsport & Monterey Historics and I took a picture of his car with my diecast of his car back in the day. Small world.

DavidM Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Another great idea, here is my minor contribution though I am not sure a wide shot will upload well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
KMR 968 Turbo Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 Excellent! Mine are all in boxes stacked unceremoniously in the basement. One day I aspire to have them on display like yours. Quote Link to comment
KMR 968 Turbo Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) Just picked up 40 feet of cabinets basically 10 of the ones in the picture - $50 a cabinet. Score! Will be put to use to display diecast models and all kinds of trinkets I have acquired over years. Bill Mcfetridge just think of all the stuff you can carry for me now. LOL PS: All the hemp related stuff did not come with the cabinets. I can only handle one addiction at a time Edited May 5, 2020 by KMR 968 Turbo Quote Link to comment
Bill Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Only 40 feet of cabinets, when is the liquidation sale for the other 40 feet of knick knacks Quote Link to comment
KMR 968 Turbo Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 Bill: only 40ft of “display” cabinets. I still have 40ft of storage cabinets. We can rotate the display as needed. What time should I schedule you in for? Quote Link to comment
CeddieB Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 My small collection is displayed in the basement on either side of the TV: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
KMR 968 Turbo Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 A 996 Turbo. Nice. Is it a GT2? The black car. I was just thinking today I should look for one. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment

Rob996 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Shouldn't that Porsche Parking Only sign be mounted in the garage? I do have a second sign in the garage. Quote Rob Campbell 2001 996, Cabriolet - Rainforest Green Metallic 1986 928S, India Red - SOLD Link to comment
KMR 968 Turbo Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 I like the Lowenbrau 962 print by Tom Bucher you have there. You could get them autographed by Derek Bell. Quote Link to comment
CeddieB Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Two new additions: 911 Speedster & 993 GT2. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
KMR 968 Turbo Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) The 993 GT2. One of my favorite 911 models. Nice. I have a yellow one. Edited July 14, 2020 by KMR 968 Turbo Quote Link to comment
KMR 968 Turbo Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) Most recent acquisition - an RS Spyder print. Bought the artist proof signed by all the drivers and the seller threw in some autographed photos too. Bonus! Edited July 15, 2020 by KMR 968 Turbo Quote Link to comment
KMR 968 Turbo Posted July 14, 2020 Author Share Posted July 14, 2020 And of course got the RS Spyder car number 7 as well. I already had car number 6. Have to find a car number 5 to complete the group. Quote Link to comment

calgary7er Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Excellent! Mine are all in boxes stacked unceremoniously in the basement. One day I aspire to have them on display like yours. That’s pretty much how the majority of mine were stored for years. Developed a “Man Zone” in the basement and got the bulk of them displayed properly. And better view of the Porsche cabinets: Quote Link to comment
KMR 968 Turbo Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 Wow. That's awesome! I like how you organized them by year. Where did you get the cabinets? Quote Link to comment

KMR 968 Turbo Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 Picked up these LeMans posters recently. Quote Link to comment
KMR 968 Turbo Posted July 17, 2020 Author Share Posted July 17, 2020 Back when Rennsport was going on they sold the 6ft tall banners and I managed to get one. Going to hang it in the shop one day Quote Link to comment
