I've had my S1 for a year now, use it as a daily driver and only just found the 2 storage pouches on the sills!

All the times i've lost my mobile under the seat when cornering could have been avoided and I find them a week before I sell it....

Are you going to reveal these hidden secrets to the new owner? Or chuckle to yourself at night thinking of him fishing for his mobile under the seat with a bent coat hanger.

Took me 18 months to do the same! Discovering this fixed the rattle in my gearbox/rear window/brake cable too... a forgotten ice scraper found a silent home!

Now I've heard there's a champagne cooler somewhere ...

Just the right size for a set of allen keys and a 1pt Pozi screwdriver for re-attaching the various items that fall off the car on a regular basis.

Took me about 6 months before I realised that I could turn my dipped beam on without having to turn on the sidelights first!

I keep a tyre pressure gauge in mine. Not sure they're big enough for a mobile though

LOL Glad it's not just me then. I have a whole kit in the boot. Sellotape for temporary repairs, Weatherproof tape for the next time the front indicator falls out and superglue for plastic bits and interior trim. You just don't get build quality like this with any old motor...

We use black duct tape, otherwise known as black maskers, for holding aircraft together (along with Araldite). My own vehicle I like to repair properly.
