Who’s got an interesting key ring?
Discussion
A new car is something to be savoured, typically I like to indulge myself in a small trinket to make it feel as though it is ‘mine’. In some ways I suspect my mind thinks of it like a wedding ring, carefully added to the key(s) in the belief that joy and happiness will follow, a happy union together.
I am always quick to discard the previous owner or dealers key fob and pop the shackle of my ownership on the keys, it’s a small thing, but generally the cheapest accessory imaginable. Once popped on the key, I rarely change the humble key ring, it’s a decision that will stay with me and the vehicle for some time.
I’m sure that there are plenty of PHers who take this decision with equal importance, who is proud of their choice of key ring?

Sounds like you're very proud of your keyring.I am always quick to discard the previous owner or dealers key fob and pop the shackle of my ownership on the keys, it’s a small thing, but generally the cheapest accessory imaginable.

Hopefully you have somewhere suitable to store it? Perhaps a nice large bowl where everyone can store their keys?
I have various key rings that are quite important to me, for one memory or another...
If a new vehicle comes with a plastic McDonalds or Mickey Mouse key ring, it has to go.
I rarely buy a new one tho', my favourite is a small, stamped beer bottle opener that was given away with an issue of Street Machine magazine way back in about 1980!
The keys to my NG TF are on the ring that used to hold my keys for my Austin hot rod. It's a simple old fashioned Austin ring, but it's all I have left of it.
My Harley keys are on a ring that some very pleasant young lady gave me many years ago, I only met her once and never knew her name, but still have the key ring.
I'm just about to make a key ring for my custom '64 Dodge van, a Chevy bow tie, in the same deep red perspex as the roof window...

Many years ago, when I was market trading, I bought a revolving display stand full of car related keyrings.
The fastest sellers were;
Ferrari
Maserarti
Bentley
Rolls-Royce
Closely followed by;
Mum's taxi
Dad's taxi
The leftovers that ended up in the 10p bargain box included Ford, Morris and Metro.
