Do you have scale models? Photos of you racing? I have a 1:43 Cerumo JGTC Supra, a 1:18 M3 GTR, a Hot Wheels Cunningham C4R and a Tomica Lancer Evo 4. I also keep a Tomica AE86 in my desk drawer.

Yes, I'm bored...

Andy - who actually has more planes than cars in his office...

 

Screensaver and wallpapers on all the systems in my office have pictures of the race car in some form. In the filing cabinet in the home office there's two years worth of the "ASAP" information (Acura Sales Awareness Program) collateral that the sales guys had to study up on when the DC2 came out.

Old office still has an all-time favorite of mine. It's a poster from Acura, circa 1996. It's got a picture of a guy holding a waterskiing rope that's attached to some sort of jet fighter. Across the bottom it says, "Some people go straight to the Acura Integra - others work up to it gradually" or something to that effect.

 

Course maps of Laguna, Sears and THill.

Not exactly on "display", but I do have a crank and some pistons laying on my floor. The corner of our training room houses a block and another crank.

I'd mention the piles in the server room, but it's locked so I guess that doesn't count.

 

well i work at a body shop in my spare time. lots of nice cars. im in school now. umm i have lots of pics of last years HypeRRR fest from lowes and last seasons speedvision race at VIR and the recent race at CMP, all these on my computer at school

 

A bashed Realtime WC ITR fender that PD gave me at Charlotte when they ran there in ....'01, I think. The hood off my old ITC Civic (14 ECR wins), a big *** burnt rod from a top fueler, a set of race flags, and a 1/2 wall dedicated to the man...Senna and a bunch of other crap.

 

woo hoo. i got pierres front bumper and lip from when he flipped at VIR

 

Cool. If this thread keeps going, maybe we could build a WC car!

 

Two photos of me driving at VIR, and one of my car on Skyline drive.

 

36 Ferrari Hotwheels, 1:43 scale Ferrari 166 Barchetta, various pictires of me autocrossing...

 

I have over 700 pictures of racing on my screen saver (including many of you all) a Lotus 340R Hotwheels car, a picture of Colin McRae's Fucus on fire from last year and a couple of other Fucus Rally and RS posters I got here at work (I work at Ford) and some flyers and print outs from events I have done or plan to do this season. Oh and a bunch of GRM mags and a SCC calender

 

In my office I have a NASA checkered flag that I won, a blown up pic of the CRX racing at Pocono, a pic of the CRX in the roller coaster, and the publicity pic of me standing in front of the car with all of the models at VIR last February.

Besides the screen savers and backgrounds on the computer here. I also have my advance design shocks and springs (that I STILL havn't installed) on display on top of my desk. I used to have Hoosiers piled next to my desk too .

 

1) A couple of great Euroimage pics of me racing last year.

2) My/Morgan's Hard Charger award from my first race last August.

3) My madd skillz stunna Rookie of the Year award.

Oh, and the Franzia wine I won

who had fun at CMP last month, but admits he misses last year already

How can Wallens call what he does for a living a job.



(Lucky Bas....er....Stiff)

 

I have some P72 pistons, a PR3 head and manifold (with assorted hardware), the interior from my integra and a ITR header in my living room

 

Yeah, it's fun, but it's work, too. (I was here until 1:30 this morning editing stories, hence why I'm zoning today.)

Oh yeah, I also have a squishy Kumho tire on my desk. It's about 3 inches in diameter. One day I should take inventory, because I know there's more stuff in here. I don't open my closets doors much any more, as it's scary in there.

 

I was talking about the Masters with someone and wondered if these guys play golf for fun, or whether it is work for them.

I imagine that there are days with you just want to keep the hands clean, and those like yesterday when you want to put in some hot laps.

Keep up the good <U>work</U>

 

I've got pics of my old racecars (2 CRXs and the Corvair), a Max Papis "hero card" from his Team Rahal days, a half dozen or so KONI posters and and Autoart crossdriller brake rotor/caliper clock that I got for Christmas and my wife didn't want hangin in the house.

My main center piece though is a framed poster of the Mark Donahue Sunoco sponsored Porsche 917/30K. My favorite racecar driver and my ultimate racecar (memories of a childhood hero just get deeper over time).

 

I've been in David's office and it holds more car paraphernalia than some stores. A lot of car people's offices have toy cars but his takes the cake on volume of those I've seen.
