Carpokes’ members,
Please post photos of Porsche memorabilia that you’ve collected over the years. Anything goes - shirts, hats, luggage, etc. Odd and rare items are particularly desired. I’ll go first. Attached are photos of a handmade ceramic bowl celebrating the 1993 Northern Ohio PCA Oktoberfest. I proudly display it on my den’s coffee table.

This is a great thread idea. Not even sure where to start -- I'm big on literature, but have my share of quirky Porsche collectibles too. How about we start with pre-Internet Microfiche slides for the 944. Before the days of the Internet, they produced these slide showing every part and part number on the car. It's since been replaced entirely by the PET online system, but the old slides are cool. They also show now-superseded part numbers, which can help when trying to figure out old parts. :)

neat tread! I have only been driving Porsches for about 8 1/2 years. And since I prefer Boxsters the few things I have are newer and Boxster related.

I'm in the same boat as grasmere and Stormy_Monday - no memorabilia.

I do have a couple of Porsche hats! 🤣

Maybe not so much memorabilia, as ephemera, but I’m a nut for vintage key chains and leather fobs. I got this cool NOS Marchal key chain (certainly known for their affiliation with Porsche, among others) from my friend Richard at Classic Leather Fobs in the UK. He has many vintage marque key chains and fobs—Porsche is just one of many. The “917” key is from KeyLow.

Another of my key fobs from Richard. Beautiful NOS ‘Heubach’ (Germany) Porsche crested fob from the ‘80s. These “tactile” trinkets just add to the driving experience.
