I found a big a$$ed cutting knife under the boot carpet in the coupe. And a pink plastic spade & various melted plastic lego men under the rear seat in my old GTE

LondonMX · Post by **LondonMX** » Sun Mar 28, 2004 2:21 am

a hula hoop, and in the magazine covers in the rear seats i found some kenco coffee samplers. oh and after forcing my hand behind the glovebox flap i found the service history book that was stamped upto 50,000 miles quite a nice find at the time, dunno how it ended up there

im sure everyone who has bought a secondhand car has slowly discovered bizzarre crap objects even like after a year of owning their motor

You guys are all lucky, you've all found interesting stuff. The only thing I've ever found is an apple under the seat, it must have been at least two years old coz when I pulled it out it turned into white dust.

Post by **TomcatDan** » Sun Mar 28, 2004 3:12 am

When I took the doorcards out of my coupe, I found a picture of some naked bird in there, saying "with my love forever, claire" on it. That was quite bizarre - gave the lads at the office a good laugh. Still got it on the pinboard

Lego men get everywhere, i had a few of the chaps in my old mini and my GSi. Though saying that, the wierdest thing i found was in my GSi. A CD autochanger that i didn't realise i had until my mate kicked it when he was passenger.

My dad found some dirty video's in the omega

That reminds me, I found a 10 stacker cd player under the passenger seat of my Tomcat yesterday. I wasn't aware it was there when I bought the car, I don't think the dealer new it was there either as he never pointed it out or advatised it's presence.
It was lucky I found it when I did coz I probably would have gone out and bought a cd player next week

Found 2cm of gravel under the back seat of my old hatch when i first folded it forward

Strangely more kept appearing from time to time

Also found both front speakers had huge tears in them. The car had electric windows fitted by the dealer from new, it must have happened then as i can't see the previous owner taking the covers off for no reason. They must have endured s**t sounding music from day one

Ah yes, used to find all sorts of bizzare things in the cab. Money was usually the best find,

Pair of skimpy knickers turned up one night :shock:

dead hampster underneath the spare on a old astra and a blow up sex doll under the seat of an audi coupe, just as the missus came out to see how things were going, now that was an interesting argument.

Not exactly found in my car but on it. When I had the front pads changed on my GTO I was called over by a rather amused grease monkey, he pointed to the track control arm which had a pair of mole grips firmly clamped on. They had been there for over a month since I'd had the tracking set. Was not happy with very mainstream fast fit tyre and exhaust place, expecially as I'd been on severall high speed runs up to the ajpanese speed limiter. That would have been nice if they'd come off at crazy speeds.

Metromartin · Post by **Metromartin** » Wed Dec 08, 2004 2:12 am

I found a old 50p in my x reg metro, house keys, loads of sweets, leaves and a 13mm spanner

nothing funny though

not much rust at least

MGJohn · Post by **MGJohn** » Wed Dec 08, 2004 2:31 am

Pair of good quality 10 x 50 Binoculars under the passenger seat. Being that sort of person, I took them round to the previous owner. He appeared rather surprised and took them. On reflection, I now think that they were not his but a previous previous owner's. Also found a nice watch - I kept that - and it still keeps perfect time and looks well. Over the years, probably found in excess of 100 notes in coins etc under carpets. I kept them too...

An MGB GT I bought back in the 1980s had a brand new ignition key bolted to the front bulkhead. I think it had been there since the day it left the factory.

Taking delivery of new cars, have found several new parts such as side indicators and parts of spare loom in passenger foot well. Odd ash trays door handles, bonnet release handles and other small new parts under seats. I guess that when someone drops a part during assembly, with the thing on the move on the production line all the time it may be quicker to get another part out of the bin and not hunt round for the dropped one.

Probably best of all was a Montego Turbo I bought from a neighbour about six years ago. This had an expensive brand new motorcycle silencer (about two hundred quids worth), a new trailer spare wheel and numerous useful tools such as brake self-bleed kits and other stuff ... a real boot full of useful stuff. I did not check the boot contents for about a month. When I took most of the stuff back he said something like "I wondered where I'd put some of that stuff" .... some people obviously can't be bothered to empty their cars when it changes hands.

Funny old game people and cars.

MGJohn · Post by **MGJohn** » Wed Dec 08, 2004 2:35 am

Oh yes ... nearly forgot ... A nice 3/8" Snap-on socket drive..... still have that years later ... lifetime guarantee....

Funny old game.

Last year I rallied a Volvo 340.

During the prep work, we took the carpet out of the boot and there was a desiccated mouse...so we became "Team Flat Mouse"...I even got a friend at work to draw up a logo.

I've got a pic somewhere...now if only I could send attachments through the fire wall...

Then about 6 years ago I got married and had kids and havent found any more in any of my cars since.
