Just sharin', as cross posted from my C55 thread:

Some Benz ****:

Lovely vintage reproduction poster, plus two pretty rare C-Class DTM models, one 202 as driven by Ellen Lohr (love the 'peeling-paint-revealing-engine-underneath' livery) and the other a 203. I searched high and low for 203 bodied DTM race car models, and this was the only one I could find. Snatched it up - Wilkinson's Automobilia in Vancouver is shutting down their bricks and mortar shop, so a lot of items are on sale.

your boss, does he allow you to keep that kind of **** in your office?
what would your clients think if they saw these things?

Sweet

What scale are the models?

Saaboteur

The models are 1/43, quite small. I had also ordered (from the blowout sale) a 1/43 scale McLaren-Mercedes Formula 1 car from 05, the all orange version used for testing that year, but they couldn't find it! Too bad.

The boss doesn't mind. Here's shots of the rest of the car stuff on my walls in the office!













The print of Jacques Villeneuve (depicting his 1995 Indy 500 win) is signed by both him and the artist - quite rare, because Jacques apparently didn't/doesn't like to sign a lot of artwork like that). The prints of Damon Hill and of Ayrton Senna (the ones side by side) are both signed by the artist only. All are limited edition prints.

I've got another lovely Senna print hung at home which is another limited edition print - 40 of 41. Two points to anyone who knows the reference to the number.

Oh, and that blue and green and white thing in the bottom of the picture is a barge board from an early '90s Benetton Formula 1 car! Picked it up years ago from the Autosport International show for like $50. Nice piece.

# of career wins

I have the AMG GT calender up at work as well. You've got a nice collection of stuff there. I'd really like to get some W202 models, but I'd prefer 1/18th. There was a 1/10 scale D2 W202 DTM RC car for sale near me a month or two that I should have picked up and I didn't :-/ I've been on a coffee table book collecting spree. Here are my two recent Mercedes books that I got for Christmas. The one made me really want a SLK55 Black Series

where's the pic of your old w202?
don't it deserve to hang on wall of fame?

Saaboteur

I prefer 1/18 as well, and have a collection of those at home - F1 models and an assortment of special road cars too (22B, McLaren F1, Ferrari 250GT California, etc).

You know I don't have a picture of my old 202 printed! I should do that. I do have a 1/43 model of a black C43 on my desk though!

I like the photo of the desk top and chair.... It looks like a typical lawyer's work area, cluttered with files and paper!

Too true!

What lots of people do not understand is that chairs and the floor are viable storage areas!!
