Just taken the passenger seat out of the westfield and found £4 under there.

On work experience we serviced a guys porsche and found a blonde wig under one of the seats

So what have you found in your car, when you bought it or did something to it?

And if someone says seats and a steering wheel I'll shoot em

An ex-lecturer of mine found a missing T-bone steak under the passenger seat of his motor. He'd got pissed at lunctime, driven to the supermarket and it had fallen out. Found it a couple of days later when it began to smell, he was too pissed to rember buying it

PS -Graham J, is that your Landy for sale on findit.co.uk -sort of recognised the garage from pics of the westy you've posted here

Not my car but...Whilst I was doing some voluntary work in Malaysia for Raleigh International a group of volunteers were visited by the Expedition leader and the head honcho of Raleigh. Whilst said visitors were being shown around the project a certain nameless individual (and not me!!)placed 4 rather fresh fish heads at strategic points around the engine bay of the land rover.

Visitors had 150 mile drive back to the Fieldbase

Expedition Leader was not a happy bunny after returning the Director to his hotel.

Last fish head was eventually discovered 4 days later.

I found a gold watch down under one of the side pocket liners in Fred (my second mini)when I was rebuilding her. Called the previous owner who knew nothing about it...

...sadly it was totally knackered, it had obviously been there for years, so I slung it out.

I found a rusty pair of pliers in the inner rear wing of my Supra, spent a few minutes cleaning them up and they work great now!

I read about someone on the 200SX bulletin board who bought one s/h, fully HPI checked out etc, and then found a polaroid of the car somewhere in the boot, all smashed up at a bodyshop!

When I bought my very used MR2, in the front boot bit, under the spare wheel, I found -

A large roll of towel from a public toilet hand towel rotating thing
13 golf balls
Assorted golf tees etc
22 assorted rusty spanners and screwdrivers (2 fit to keep)
A large roll of fibreglass matting
5 celebration fake coins from Sainsburys
An empty can of red spray paint
About £3 in change
Two reed beach mat things
Two pens
A large can of WD40, almost full

I must have saved about 20 kilos from the body weight when I dumped that lot (except the WD40 and the money!) but probably added almost as much by covering all the rust with Duck tape.

Was poking around in the front boot of my Seicento the other day and found this cute little motor.

No mention in the handbook of what it's supposed to do though...

My old Cinquecento started rattling badly... thought the baffles had gone in the exhaust as it only happened over bumps... turned out to be £8 of 5p's in the spare tyre well...!

A year's membership of the RAC in the glovebox of my Mercedes when I picked it up from the dealer thirteen months ago. What a glorious waste of money that turned out to be.

I found a prescrption for a heroin derivative on the back seat of my old Scimitar one morning. How it got there remains a complete mystery.
