as most of us on here are car nuts i was wondering what you like to collect, car badges, brochures ect.

Me? Well i'm completley nuts and collect steering wheels, i've built up quite a collection over the years.

Starting on Jaguars next then???

Or realising what a great car you now have, (albeit with a little maintenance)

Collect anything Rover, but some other members outbid me!!

Lots and lots of different things! I will have to take some pics!

I've been known to collect a few bits, but the wife's making me sell it all because it takes up too much room

I've got a collection of firearms varying in age from mid 1800s to date, some family heirlooms, others just interesting little beasties I've come across in my travels, most of them are still proofed and I have at some time used them just to compare but like the family ones I never would use them again they're too old and precious, great fun turning up at the clay ground with a really old side by side 16 bore and watching peoples faces. Anyway, I've got them, I've got a small collection, about 15 different snakes, which are interesting but more hers than mine I not overly fond of those, got a collection of taxidermy animals, all over the house have got all kinds of animals, mostly native and most victims of car accidents, I've got 7 didgeridoos 5 of which are traditional yidaki and all are from the same tribe in northern australia, I enjoy playing them, but there's a couple of them are too valuable now so they don't get used much, very nice to look at though, I like them I think they're my favourite!

Collect Rover stuff, I have,
Rover golf balls, (I don't play golf, surely whacking golf balls at each other with a golf racket on a golf court is a bit dangerous?)
1995 MGF, Rover 200/400 coins in a Land Rover Rover group case,
Some booklets and letters to fleet customers from ARG,
Rover key rings,
A K series engine print,
Rover car models, 75, SD1, P6.
I'll add as I remember the rest.
