Dropping things down the side of your seat in your car and then knowing you'll never get them back without taking the seat of the runners..

Dropped two pounds today down there and managed to get them jammed and they will probably end up with the new owner!

My favourite light has been lost to the car too, just cant anything down the side to get it.

Sorry about the st thread just thought alot of people could share the pain.

Quite. I never bother with anything below a fiver now, just leave any shrapnel on the counter of the shop/pub.

If it bothers you that much, whip the seat out.

I changed the seats in my '5 and found a few quid, changed them again and found some more, took them out for something else and found even more! I almost see it as a 0% interest savings account! wink

You could lend me the car and I'll go through Dover with it onto the ferry. You'll get everything back.

I don't know why it is, but I can't get through Dover without the car being seriously searched. I've had the (fixed) seats removed by customs at Dover - found loads of things I didn't know was there (nothing dodgy!). They even put it nicely back together.

Every time I buy a 'new' to me car, I get under/have the seats out to check for freebies. Record so far is ~£7 + an unopened pack of victory V's in a car that cost me £225.

Just add £2 to the cost of the car when you come to sell it. wink

In an Elise the passenger seat if fixed to the floor, no runners. When I finally got around to taking the seat out of the car, I found all sorts under there. Cash, credit cards, CD's, sunglasses etc

You're having a laugh son, anything 10 quid and below goes in the penny jar.

Have Haymarket stopped credit checking new members recently or something confused

confused so if it's more than a tenner you can afford it?

What the hell are you drinking and smoking to get more than a half pint or 5 smokes for 2 quid? And what's your secret making 2 into 5?

Thanks in advance wink

If you were to quit the smoking it would not only save you money but also help make your posts make sense!

When I bought my Chevy van I found all manner of kids underwear, it's a good job I found them before someone else or it would have been branded the GlitterMobile!
