Porsche Design items - How much of a fanboy are you?

[Mr Ping]

I have a soft spot for objects with Porsche Design written on them, I just can't seem to help myself.

Unfortunately I do not usually have the money (or lack of common sense) to buy them and have restricted my purchases to;

2 pairs of Adidas Trainers
A 2 TB Lacie Hard disk (I should have bought a NAS but didn't)
A kettle (for my brother)

....Currently contemplating buying a Porsche Nespresso at the moment cheap off a friend....

Anyway, what Porsche Design items do you own and which one is your favourite?

[monthefish]

I don't have any, in fear of looking like:

Only the car.

Well, I got a free jacket with my 991.

Do you wear it?

[sundayjumper]

I have some Porsche shower gel

I hasten to add no money was involved though... the promotions dept. at my wife's office were having a clear out of all kinds of odds & sods that were cluttering up the cupboard, she spotted it & bagged it for me.

And 2 x coffee cups

All from using the free vouchers at new car launches :-)

Ha I forgot all about that piece of television!

Has anyone seen how much the bloody Porsche Design suitcases cost? Scandalous!

I have the Porsche 1968 design brolly. My favourite items are the lightweight luggage set.

I have a retro mouse mat which is very good, and only cost £3 with the voucher at a launch.

I've got a pair of Adidas Porsche Design trainers. Bought them because I liked them, not because the were Porsche though. Didn't even realise they said Porsche Design on the side when I first picked them up off the shelf. The Porsche Design branding is very subtle on this pair.

I've also got the Porsche Design 'The Essence' Eau de Toilette which I really like.

LMAO ...... I've got an adidas originals PD polo shirt..... Impulse business trip buy (about the same time I was looking for a 997) .... I must've thought it'd bring me closer to the brand. Felt great until mrs 7litrebig shrunk it a little, and a mate made a less than generous comment about the nature of the fitment. Now at the back of the wardrobe! £50 wasted!

I saw these and liked them, but didn't buy them because of the Porsche branding. (thought it might be a bit cheesy, stepping out of your Porsche wearing Porsche trainers )

I know what you mean, but finding a pair of trainers that I like and that are also confortable is such a pain that I wasn't going to be put off by the PD branding!
Some of their trainers are very 'showy', but I like these ones because the dark blue writing on a black strip on the side of the sole isn't noticable unless you are holding the trainer at quite close range.

We got a free sports car when we bought this blanket:

(The baby was extra)
Also have a kettle (an actual kettle as well as a 996) which was a wedding gift almost 9 years ago and it's still going strong.

[MadMark911]

Oh god - I've just realised that I had the kettle (now passed onto a friend) and have 3 polo shirts, a cap, 2 umbrellas, a watch (although not the ones the OPC's sell) and a towel ......

However to balance the uncool - I have a "Rothmans Porsche" jacket, umbrella, pen and kit bag from my days of working at Rothmans before it was swallowed up by BAT ....

[Zyp]

I have nothing.
Wouldn't mind some of the suitcases though.


What I do own, however, is a Subaru fleece rally jacket from my Subaru days.
Get in there.

[pete.g]

I have told my family and friends that they can have a free punch if they see me wearing any item of Porsche branded clothing.

As I also have a Subaru, the same rule applies there.

The only branded item I have is a Land Rover shirt - though as I had a 1990s Defender, a set of overalls would have been a better buy.

Each to his own . . .

Porsche design driving shoes (can't get Pilotis now and they were 50% off at Frankfurt airport )
Porsche mugs (I'm the biggest one !)
Porsche T shirts, rugby shirts & fleece (fleece also very appropriate !)
Porsche brolly (got it with my car, never used it as sits in the passenger sill pocket)
A few models (C4s, couple of Boxsters, 997 C2S)
IPhone case
GT3 glass paperweight (very cool & my favourite !)
Porsche calendar in my office
Porsche piccies / baseball caps and memorabilia in my garage

errr, that's about it !

I was seriously considering a new Exige but to change all above would be a bit of a pain !

Damn this brand....gets under your skin
