Automotive themed savings 'jar'

[TheLordJohn]

Hello all.

After a few ideas please.
I am in need of something to use to save our change up - but what automotive themed items could I use?

Thanks very much, Stuart.

Every pound coin I get goes in my ashtray.


I've got quite a lot of them in there!

I have one of these, never completely filled it but should hold around around £80 in mixed coins

clicky

Edit - tried to link to an exact photo, but it is the Stig's head bank I was aiming for

How much do you want to save?

Clean up an old exhaust, that should hold a few quid!

Or for something cheaper, an empty (and cleaned) 1 litre oil bottle.

Oooo good ideas, gents, thank you.
I've got a couple of oil containers hanging around, too.

Thanks.

Got an old cylinder head hanging around?

You can use different denominations of coins depending on how many cylinders it has. A V8 would be quite handy to keep everything nicely separated...

You could get a coil spring and stick a clear plastic container inside it.

I had a couple of Jag V8 cylinder heads kicking about but I weighed them in before I got married and moved away.

I think I may go for an old petrol can

I bought one of these:

That's smart!

Wonder if they do an XJR-9?

This has just given me an idea of what to use an old Midget A series rocker cover. It came out of my grandad's garage when I cleared it and has been on the shelf of my garage ever since.

You could use a jerry can if you have a lot of change
