What have you found whilst cleaning or fixing your car? or spotted in a friends?

i'll start it off:

when i was helping a friend with his car he fitted a new gaiter (gearstick leather trim) underneath the old one was a small wrap of cocaine. needless to say we had a good laugh about it.

when giving my car its in depth clean i found an array of stuff left in there including a 6inch switch blade and the top of a watering can.

when borrowing a work vehicle there was 2 cd's left in the door pocket with rather amusing names: fker and pissflaps. made someone rather red faced when i enquired who they belonged too haha

lets hear what you've found...... extra marks for funny or truly amazing finds

Teach yourself Urdu CD (from previous owner and couldn't be played)was jammed in the (in dash) CD changer of my Mondeo - when it was replaced under warranty they asked if I wanted it back.

Windscreen fitter found a really cheapo necklace somewhere in the recesses of 'screen area.

In a VW Camper I hired many years ago I found half finished bottles of whisky and gin and a box of dog biscuits - a dogging wagon perhaps?

About 30 £1 coins after I lifted the rear seat cushion of Mrs V.'s replacement car - I lifted it out to give it a super thorough vacuum to VikingStandards.

I bought a secondhand M3 a few years ago and it had an annoying rattle from somewhere inside the dashboard, it could be cured by a good thump but a week or two later it was back, another thump and it was OK for a while. Anyway, I arranged for a hands free phone system to be installed and the technician had to pull the dashboard apart and there inside was a lovely screwdriver. Good thing it didn't short anything out and the rattle was cured after that.
Incidentally that 2.8 engine was as smooth as silk and I sold the car with 270000 trouble free miles on the clock, I've run beamers ever since.

Most notable was an XD picture card with quite a few pictures of a young lady who was not shy of the camera.

In retrospect I should have binned it right away without letting curiosity get the better of me. The images could have been very different.yikes

Sadly nothing exciting in my own cars, aside from some really terrible wiring in my old MX5 (very bad job of taped wires!) but one of my friends a few weeks back bought a written off Polo to fix up and run about in. Hidden away behind the glovebox was a back of seeds, some small digital scales and a pipe not intended for tobacco. They were binned rather swiftly...

Years ago I went with my dad to look at a Mk3 Escort he wanted to buy. While we were at the sellers house his wife came out to ask if we wanted a cuppa. She was fcensoredg horny,mini skirt ,high heels the lot! Anyway ,he bought the car and whilst out one day ,he got a puncture .As I was with ma & pa at the time I took charge to change the wheel. On opening the jack bag an envelope fell out. I carried on and ma happened to see the envelope and looked inside . It was full of raunchy (I mean raunchy) pics of the sellers wife in all sorts of poses in and around the car. Needless to say ma was not impressed ,and over the next week or so scrubbed the car from top to bottom. I kept the pics for ages tongue out

Bought an old W124 Merc and found some interesting stuff in it, Extra safe condoms in the spare wheel well, boot carpet missing and replaced with cardboard, a pair of black leather gloves in the boot and a head torch stuffed in the rear seat pocket as well as a couple of other mini torches in various places, definetly think it was either a swingers or murderers car!!

Also in my Cerbera in the space in front of the front wheel which you have to take a fibreglass panel off to get into to change the headlight bulb I found a card (Ace of Hearts I think) from a pack of nudey cards, apparently TVR's quite often had things like this put into them when they were built, can't see that happening on a Porsche!!

Years ago when I worked at a Suzuki dealership we had a regular customer who was a rather fit young lady; she brought in her Vitara one day for some work and there was an envelope left on the passenger seat, in this envelope were loads of topless photo's of her, all in various poses, clearly left there on purpose.

Another time at a VW garage, they were servicing a Golf, the mechanic went into the boot to change a rear bulb and upon opening the flap he was greeted with a pair of dirty knickers, clearly from the colour of the staining the young woman hade come on when wearing them!!

Lifted the boot of a Celica to check the spare during service and found a spiked club. Didn't have gloves on so swiftly wiped it down and put it back

Also found a foot in the boot of an RX

Sounds pretty standard for a proper RR.

Um, I found £45 down the back of my seat in change. Other than that, nothing terribly exciting.
