Manly Memorabilia

Gun case. Guns are manly.

That looks like the future Ex Mrs ADD.

Vintage (and possibly politically incorrect) signage, vintage beer signs, music memorabilia, sports stuff from your favorite sports team, etc. are some other ideas.

My living room doubles as a "man cave" even though the ladies are allowed. In there right now are a couple of couches, a HDTV, and some of my guitars and basses. Eventually, there will be some wall mounts for the guitars, some vintage beer signage, framed pics of my cars, and I'm also going to frame some cool rock and metal vinyl albums that I have picked up at yard sales and flea markets over the years. Also, I have a old Galaga cocktail table arcade cabinet that will serve as an end table that will go in there once it's all restored.

Oh, and I like that Cobra wall art. I wonder if they do local pickup, as my new house is only 15 minutes away from their headquarters!!!

I have a Gone in Sixty Seconds movie poster signed by all the actors in the film...and don't worry, I can spout lines from that film like nobody's business.

I also have a Grand Prix poster in Japanese...sadly not signed by Toshiro Mifune...

Then you might as well know something about her.

Katarina Van Derham, a successful print and TV model, currently resides in Los Angeles.

When she is not modeling, Katarina is developing her own make-up line and works on architectual graphic design.

I would turn that into a driving sim rig.

I wouldn't care what you did with it, once it was removed from my basement.

Motosports memorabilia, diecast cars, RC cars, Sim racing rig, beer fridge, very large TV, old college couch, consoles and video games, weird signage, Posters of diabolically hot women, beer signage, neon signs, camo netting, kevlar head gear, gun case, AutoX trophies, flags, and a stack of GRM mags . . .

All I need is to put half of this stuff up

I am going to hang a crappy VW deck lid on my garage wall. No idea why - just seems kind of cool.

I use worn out floor mats from some of my prior Porsches in front of my workbench. And I use a 911 speedometer as a paper weight.

If it's just in the way, I guess I could help you out by taking it off your hands.

Two things... how far is this basement from Scranton, PA and... is there a fee for removing that item?

A few of those featuring cars you've owned!

I've got framed hockey sweaters hanging in my basement that will eventually go in my "cave". Since I'm Canadian ,there are all the Canadian team sweaters, as well as the Original Six. Also, autographed hockey pictures and auto racing pics and art. There's a glass case full of 1:18 scale diecasts in the den and several racing art prints in the basement. I just need the room, attached to a garage to put it all in! I've been building chairs from Recaro and Viper seats to throw in there , too.I've got my helmets and driver's suits to display, and my niece's amateur photos, and ,,,,,,,,,,. I better get this place sold and start building!

Pics please

As soon as I figure out how to post them, I'll do that.

Double post, sorry.

Let's see...I've got a signed pic of Nolan Ryan (the one in which he has a bloody lip from taking a line drive to the face, yet ye refused to leave the game), a 3x4 foot poster for "The Outlaw Josey Wales," a 57 T-Bird wall hangar (similar to the Cobra part shown earlier), some of my better targets from trips to the firing range, the cover of the 11/1/1943 issue of Life magazine (with a P-47 Thunderbolt on it), Charlton Heston's autobiography, a Social Distortion gig poster signed by the artist, an unopened vinyl pressing of the Beastie Boys' Root Down EP, a lamp/trophy made from road cone, SBC cam, and 944 Turbo brake rotor, and enough seats from fast cars to invite all my friends over to watch the World Series. How's that for a start?

Here is my mancave (skateboard and atuomobilia-themed):

...and one other wall with a neat Evan Hecox print--he does/did a lot of the art for Chocolate skateboards--I bought it (at Target) because it reminded me of skating in the streets back in the day:

Let's see if this worked. <img ;" /> <img src="" />

Here's a different view of the viper chair. <img src="" />

I'd love to have something like Woody's chassis and body just to stand in the corner, or hang on a wall.
