A good bit of die cast, mostly 1/43 scale. Caps, shirts, jackets, pins, you name it for various Cosworth teams. (Stewart, Jag, Minardi, Williams, ect) One of my favorites is a Jaguar F1 ski parka that was team-only and not sold to the public. Stoowy Hunter, who deals in F1 memorabilia, had a contact on the team and got it for me. He also got me some of my better Stewart F1 stuff.

I've also gotten a few autographs over the years. I got two I'm proud of at Indy this year. I got Albers to sign one of my old Minardi shirts (even with his Minardi number). I couldn't find any SA gear for Ant to sign, so I got his autograph on a shirt that says "Run with the Bulls, Swim with the Sharks, Race with the Brits!"

Videos, DVDs, books. One of the stranger collections I have is Foster's USGP Can Cozies! A can cozy is a sleave that fits over the can to insulate it. They put one out every year of the Indy race, except this year.

Oh, I also have a photo or two I've taken over the years.

I've got a few items, mostly relating to Jordan. I'm up to five hats (one of which is a Renault hat and another a McLaren hat - the latter being my first bit of memorabilla back in 2000), two long-sleeved tops (I don't wear short-sleeved stuff unless it's underneath a long-sleeved item of clothing, at which point there's not much point it having a logo...), a pin badge, several keyrings (I've lost count, though I do know I have only one non-Jordan keyring ), a purse, a lanyard, many photos and several other small bits of kit. I also have an Autosport Paddock pass containing Takuma Sato's and Eddie Jordan's signatures, and several photos of that visit, which you will find in the GPWizard Gallery.

Among my other items of memorabilla are a 2002 Silverstone poster, my qualifying ticket from the same race, a 1:43 1995 Sauber (Heinz-Harald Frentzen) model car, a bagful of Renault and McLaren items and a large collection of books and magazines. The latter includes a Tom Wheatcroft biography which he signed.

I have some team merchandise, but that is all no less than 4 years old.  I have some Jenson Button BAR stuff.  A couple of McLaren t-shirts, a DC t-shirt, some Red Bull stuff from this year, and of course a load of Williams stuff, branded-t-shirts, driver t-shirts, official shirt, storm coat, caps and a bag. 

I have a Williams gear cog which I got when I joined the official club, but that is currently the only part of a car I have.  Got a mini replica of the FW28 steering wheel.

Also I have a large collection of diecast models in 1/18 and 1/43 scale, mostly Williams, McLaren comes in second place, then just others I liked the look of.  The best piece I own though is an Exoto of the Tyrell raced by JYS.  Fantastic model.  Oh, and I've got the original collection of the Jim Bamber pit crew.

One thing I forgot to mention. Back in 06, my favorite race week-end bar, The Starting Line Lounge, had a large USGP poster put out by Fosters. Oddly, it disapeared about closing time on Sunday night. Even more odd is the fact that it later reappeared on a door at my house.

I had some nice stuff but you lot keep winning it! 

Seriously though I have some great stuff lined up for the next few competitions and I already have next years Grid Game prize. I will eventually announce what this years prize is but I'm waiting for the final piece of the jigsaw to be delivered from the Netherlands.

Watch this space.
