I had the M5 Pirelli poster on my wall as a kid. I've tried to find one on eBay and can't. I can't even find the pic on google. Does anybody have a copy? That had to be my favorite car poster, more so than the Countach or M1. Childhood favorites?

Ah I had a few Vipers. Two RT/10s, one was red with yellow wheels and the other was white with blue stripes. This was before the GTS came out. I also had a red Panoz Roadster. Those two stand out.

I had a poster of a see through/cut away Mistubishi Starion. Man I wanted one of those for my first car. I also had a poster of the Cunningham 300ZX and Nissan GTP car, I might still have those squirreled away in my parents attic actually.

TR7 centrefold from a magazine. I believe it said "The Wedge".

I had a BMW F1 poster, and a white '80s Countach posing by the Golden Gate bridge.

Also just remembered, my Dad (who is a handy drawer), sketched me a Harrier jump jet across my bedroom wall. (Harrier because he used to work with them in the RAF.)

I was in highschool when the RX-7 TT went on sale, and my favorite poster was a pull out of the Mazda next to a WWII bomber, taken from a C&D issue I permanently borrowed from a buddy.

Heh, mine was actually a dodge poster from 96-97 with everything in red.. caravan, intrepid, stratus, neon, avenger, viper, (maybe another?) All in their sport trims and very good looking at that time.

The only one i havent owned yet is the Viper

Been a long time since I've even thought about it, but I used to have a Ford F1 poster. I think it was all Tyrrells, and covered 25 years of the combo. It was 35 years ago, and all I really remember about it was it had Jackie Stewart in a Tyrrell, and a big Ford logo on it.

This great old Paul Oxman shot of Stuckie jumping the CSL at the Nurburgring. My original went away over the years, but I found another one at an old automobilia shop going out of business. It's on my wall in the bedroom...

I had an awesome Lamborghini poster with all the different models up to the Countach Quattrovalvole in profile. Including the LM. It was there I fell in love with the Miura

Keith,

that looks like it may still be on your wall.

My friend had this one:

I hated that show, but always really liked this poster. I'm not sure why

I had a Yamaha poster of a motocrosser stretched out at the peak of a high-speed jump, and this logo:

"Man is born with only two fears: Falling and loud noise. Sigmund Freud."

I had a poster of a 944 parked on gravel. I think it was an advertisement for a tire company - not sure. Can't remember if it was a turbo or not.

I had an old Indy schedule that I got while at the S10 plant in Michigan. It had a Radar Blue Typhoon on it, man I was in love with that truck.

Mine was a 6 foot long side profile shot of a red 308. It is hanging above my 7 year olds bed right now.

The "body by Lamborghini" poster is sadly no longer in possession, but I'd love to put up another one if I can find it. That was just an online shot I found of it.

I also had a shot of one of the Rothmans-sponsored 956 Le Mans cars on the wall, but other than the subject matter I don't remember exactly what it looked like.

I always liked the R&T posters with a semi-silhouette shot of cars like the Dino, combined with similar pictures of, uhh, womanly shapes. There's someone else who appreciates them as well, as the latest EVO had an ad for a Ferrari parts store that used the exact same Dino shot.

I had a copy of a 1982 Porsche brochure pinned to the wall. That, and my parents' Mazda 626 probably have a lot to do with my affinity for brown cars.

But it wasn't enough to make me love the 928...
