What's on your wall ?

As for the wall, no TR7's there yet [:I]
But I do have two unused early dealer posters (AKM3614/3615) which really need to be framed sooner rather than later.

nothing current on my walls,
but i did have a soft top poster on my back bedroom in a house i had.. and incidently the poster was blagged from the Birtish Leyland rest room at the MIRA test track cira 1988.

the year before last i was riding back from a day at TRIUMPH LIVE @ Mallory Park (that was the bikes) and elbowed the girly friend in the ribs and pointed at the MIRA sign as we rode past.. later she spoke of yeah were the showers come from.....mmmmmmm, so now i get to pull her leg ... \"hi love just read another old road test on a tr7 etc from that company that do the the showers"...

and for everyone not from the UK.
MIRA stands for motor industry research association and they have a bit of tarmac that has been used by a few car builders and mira make bath room accessories and you .....had to be there

Mallory Park is a race track where the works triumph riders kicked the bottoms of the hot shot works USA truimph riders in the transatlantic races 1970-2ish all on triumph/bsa triples and thats bikes too!!

Well done Michael you win hands down.

Come on guys, we all need a wedge on the wall.[:p]

I was expecting a few more pictures of our favourite car,or a wedge display to be proud of on the shelf or in the cabinet.

What about in your garage then ?

I don't know Beans. Maybe you should take a second look at Sue Cuff. Pretty nice eye candy.

used to have the 2 sevens on the wall in the old shop office.....(along with all the blue oval stuff)

I have a few trophies and pics on a shelf in the garage, but most everything on the walls are souvenirs from my Ford days [B)]

Must start decorating the new office soon [}:)]

I've been looking for one of those British Leyland dealer signs
for ages, and though I've seen them around for sale they go for a
lot of money. So if you've been given one Chris you're a very lucky man.

Still it's Beaulieu auto jumble in a couple of weeks.

Ron, you really must decorate that office. [:p]

I have never been a fan of bonnet mascot, but Roy, I really do like that one in your poster.

Do you know if they are still available, & do they still look the same, some 30+ years later.

Damned if I know how we ended up with so many poms over here, if you had birds like here at home.

Click on the link and you could also spend your evenings
with the lovely Sue. [:p]

http://www.motorgraphs.com/

It's a great site and if Sue is not your type there's plenty
of rally cars pics.

I ordered the large canvas as I wanted a focal point to my room.

Not cheap but top quality, you can order cheaper smaller prints
if you wish.

Like that picture too.[:p]

I only have Triumph Parking Only sign in the garage that I got as a present from my sister. I was thinking of getting a picture of my car done up as a poster but it's low down on my priority list (that is long).

I'd be as proud of that garage floor as any poster you could hang on the wall. Is it epoxy?

Yes, it's two part epoxy, Rustoleum. Regularly $99 a gallon but Canadian Tire has it on their sale flyer several times a year for $69. Hard to see but it's grey with white, black and blue granite chips. I painted the utility room with it as well (otherwise known as my engine assembly room complete with exhaust fan for any oil smell. Was thinking I could put some pictures in there.

Oh, by the way....the garage has never been that clean since.[:p]
