What do you have at work (Cars?)

I was thinking about what cars we might have at work on our desk or wherever they might perch.....cars, car pics, etc.

I have a 1 18 Ferrari GTO, a 300sl gullwing and a Ferrari Testa Rosa, the old racing version.

...and in small matchbox size, a 29 Ford roadster pickup, a 61 Ferrari F1 car, a Ferrari Lusso, and the Wienermobile.

I have been pondering taking in my 1 18 Airstream 16' model, but if I do that I will have to bring some back as it will get too crowded.

I also have a little picture of my dad in my old 59 Ferrari (sadly both are gone now).

I'm at work now and I see I also have a little model of Mario Andretti's Havoline Indy car number 6 and a model of Briggs Cunningham Jaguar XKE #10 from about 1964 or so.

I also have a small modeal of the sr70 Blackbird that I picked up at the Wright Patterson Museum at Dayton Oh a few months back.

I've got a Datsun 240z with an SR20DET engine in it and also on my calendar this month it is a Radical SR8 out on a track. Not too exciting here in the office!

If I were to bring my "car toys" into the office (just got a desk a week ago, still fitting in) they'd probably be made out of Legos =)

I only have my screensaver, wich is my car, and a model of Elliot Sadler's #38 2003 Taurus Nascar. I'm not into nascar, but I like toys, and this one was free.

I don't bother to decorate my desk, but we do have lots of REAL cars at my office, mostly Buick Lucerne sedans and Lincoln-based S&S funeral coaches.
