Anything interesting or sentimental on your key ring?

[Evel Knievel]

As per title.

I am quite attached to a flat small pocket keyring screwdriver I have had on my keyring since 1970, which was a free gift sellotaped to the front copy of "Practical motorist"..

It is a bit battered and worn with age, but I wouldn't be without it....

Evel.

Only a Guiness bottle opener bought whilst in Dublin. I don't even like Guiness, but it has come in handy from time to time!

For years I had a Williams F1 keyring - it wasnt anything special a little plastic thing that had a red LED in it (was just about enough so you could light the keyhole at night). Was bought for me to put on my very first car keys and I transferred it as cars came and went - mainly it just didnt feel like "my" car keys without it so I kept it long after the light stopped working and the logo wore off!

Eventually the plastic wore down on the loop that held it on the chain so it was retired - think I've still got it somewhere.

A Porsche keytag. I was 15 and in the dealership looking at the then new 997 GT3. The salesmen moved it and when he got out, let me sit in it and then took the key from the ignition and gave me the leather covered tag with an alloy badge on it. I know it is a bit stupid, but then I don't show it off or anything, it is just nice to have. Wonderful quality as well.

I have 3 sets of keys and each has something attached that means something to me.

House keys have the weak link assembly from my first solo flight in a glider.

Work keys have the thigh buckle from the first parachute I used.

Car keys have the empty .243 case from the first buck I shot.

You are privileged, Someone who not only got out of and OPC without a four figure bill but also with a freebie. You should have given your dad his lotto numbers that night!

A tritium glowstick so I can always find my keys in the dark.

A Benicassim 2008 band, Mini Wetsuit, VW Camper Model, Mini Las Vegas Sign, Dominican Republic coconut facemask & a Burton Snowboard Emblem.

All have their meanings.

A Batley Motorcycle and Car Club (now defunct) red leather keyfob which was one of the last they ever made before the club was disbanded. My family had plenty of involvement in the trials and racing they used to do in years gone by so its got sentimental and interest value

My Mini was my first car, the day I bought it someone gave me a Benny the Ball (from TopCat) keyring.

Still got the car, still got the keyring.
