stuff youve found in your car.

Cant say i've found much thats interesting.

I got given a rolling mini shell a year or two back and when i took the back seats out i found what looked like four or five packets worth of pink sherbert.

Although it had been in there so long it didnt smell like sherbert, more like rotting cheese. Not nice to remove ahah.

Found a Nappy in the seat pocket of the Maverick I bought a year ago Unused It's still there

Other than that, just the usual melted sweets/coinage/pens/fag lighters etc

[zetecvan]

In my cars I've only ever found the usual coins and bus tickets.

Totally off topic though, I did buy an Apple Macbook off ebay. The guy told me he'd formatted the drive, only when I received it, he must have not realised that he should have formatted both partitions so all his documents were on there. I found his CV (he was a policeman), a document with his bank details, pin number etc. Naked pictures of him and his MSN 'Chums'. (He was gay) and his mothers address. Everything I needed to blackmail him!

My mk3 estate had about 20 used syringes under the backseat,must have been a courier car,my old mk2 cavalier had a dead bird skeleton behind the headlight & my Nissan skyline had a 4gb Zen creative under the backseat straight from Japan.

You're going to find some 'classic' cassettes in your latest purchase that I forgot to remove. ;D

The neighbours gave me a funny look when I was singing along to Ultravox. This means nothing to me........ohhhhhh Vienna haha.

I used to have my own valeting company and used to do a lot of high end Bentley's BMW's etc, the cars had long left their owners so nothing could really be returned!

I found a mobile phone, £32, a Dunhill pen and a gold ring in a Bentley turbo R Alone!!!!

Amongst others are cd's, earings, money, watches, pens, toys etc

But the scary thing is the details people leave, bank statements, house keys, insurance papers, phone books, etc etc etc! crazy!!!!

The most horrid though when i used to buy a lot of salvage, i bought a renault clio one lady owner from new! I had to take the drivers seat out to replace the airbag, and i kid you not, THE BOTTOM OF THE SEAT WAS COVERED EVERY INCH IN BOGEY'S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RANK!

Not a licker, nor a flicker but a sticker. Hmm... perhaps that's the original version of Stickerbombing you bought there?

[grizz]

I have forgotten most, but the Corsa I bought for Nicolas daughter a few years ago had tools, and a load of insulin sized needles.... I knew the previous owner quite well and know he is into hard core Gym/body building and not averse to a couple of lines etc.....

Cheap car though, 70k miles, for £70 once the tax was refunded.

Got chopped in on the scrappage scheme.... new car has at least 4 scars in first year.

[lewist123]

I found a full, but not connected set of dual controls behind the carpets in a Fiesta i purchased for the Mrs to learn to drive in!!!

I did fancy connecting them back up, disconnecting the drivers set to make a duel control car like they did in PPC. I scrapped it in the end though!

i was cleaning my aunt car she bought last year but hasn't used till now and i found a very odd but smell looking thing in the boot i pocked it and it moved its still there she can deal with it i ain't touching it

[conrad]

I too have found dead creatures, a crow, something like a sparrow and a rat at different times

One of the funniest was 3 cans of asda energy drink in a P100 brought back here (Ireland) from the uk, they were 5 years out of date, which a mate of mine (he's a bit of a loony sometimes) decided to down two of them and while later while walking through a shopping centre he got all shaky and sweaty, went yellow like he was jaundiced or something and he stopped in the middle of the corridor and said "man i feel like i'm on heroin or something holy sh1t." and was very on edge.

Another amusing thing i've found in a car was a fiesta rear view mirror, in the engine bay of an opel rekord, why that was there i have no idea!

Found a rather large switchblade in a BMW E34 i bought along with a small bag containing lithuanian money and a bottle of pills (WTF???) that i'd bought from a lithuanian who looked rather scary, turns out he probably was a bit scary.

other than that there hasnt been much of interest, usualy tapes and cds with dodgy music, keys keyrings coins etc.
My B4 passat had a load of keyings and stickers from RTE (irish tv and radio company) from the 90s

[wichard]

Shotgun shell x2 and flick knife x2 in the glovebox of my latest steed. Nice.

[dhallilama]

bought a salvaged flood car... '95 BMW M3... it had been in a fresh water flood, insurance company wrote it off and it sold at auction. got it for a song, though it was pretty f'ed up from the flood.

inside... when stripping it... found numerous used condoms, empty prescription bottles with the labels torn off, a few rolled up dollar bills with some white powdery substance on them. someone had a serious party...


another car, a '60s VW Squareback... dragged it home, flushed the gas tank, cleaned the carb, fresh gas and battery and it was running! driving down the road i was in total joy with my new toy! then a fooking mouse ran up my leg. and another. they were everywhere. damn mouse nest in the seat.


lotsa stuff found in lotsa cars i've had, but the above two cars took the cake.

This has given me my afternoon happy, that's a great mental image.

owning a volvo 940 i also own the stigma of owning a grandads car. i don't much mind it but it does get annoying.

so far i have found £1.50 bringing the cost of the car down to £110, a torx bit which looked expensive, some strange slimey goo which, before the iffy comments come, i think was a melted locket, and to return to the original statement above - a werthers original.

good god i laughed

[olistevens]

My latest had around 3 meters of rope , some pliers with knife blades on , a blanket , some dirty cloths ,numerous lighters and a bob marley cd ;D. And still finding stuff .

[hoopsontoast]

Nothing interesting, but the dolly sprint came with a wheel brace for a different car, did not realise until i have a flat....
