Title: strange things you found in your car....
Post by: PDT on May 12, 2011, 01:02:01 pm
When I worked at a main dealer we found all sorts in cars, from bundles of cash to articles bought in Ann Summers.... a few years back we had a porsche in for tuning that had a glovebox with Knuckle dusters, a genuine police issue baton and shotgun cartridges!

Today I was changing the air filter on my 335d as part of its service and found a dead wasps nest covering half of the filter element and lots of crumbly wasps, has probaly been in there for at least a year!

I found a christmas card to somebody I have never met in the passenger seat pocket of my ed30  :signLOL:

On a more amusing note, I had a Polo in for service once that had empty condom wrappers in the cubby hole under the steering wheel  :sick:

I've had some strange ones...

In a car I'd recently bought- Live shotgun cartridges (good job I'm a licence holder!) and empty rifle cases
as well as a prize for a show winning bull at an agricultural show!

In a car I owned (Defender)- On opening the bonnet I was surprised to find a fish laying on the engine cover! After much confusion I realised that I had driven through a pretty deep ford a few days before!

I found a whip along with some other fetish items in the back of a tt. The owner was a transexual porn star!  Search Joanna jet if that sort of thing takes your fancy!

Had a gun in an armrest too. Live and ready to go.

I found a mouse that had been living on top of a rocker cover of a tt.  Used different parts of the engine bay to make a house.

Found this snap-on angle wrench in the engine bay some years ago... I'd dropped my socket wrench and was fishing around for it, thought I'd found it, pulled it up and it was this :S
Found my one too in the end. I did ask at the VW I get serviced at if anyone had lost one and they said no :S very odd.  It's in my tool collection now.

A significant amount of weed and a panic stricken previous owner who didn't seem to keen on collecting it from the nick I dropped it off at.

Knickers
Pair of glasses
17 copies of a 1987 edition of the Sun newspaper, forming a cill of a MKI Escort.

....That could have been very dodgy for you if taking the car abroad and a sniffer dog got interested.

Had a gun in an armrest too. Live and ready to go.


....What did you do next? - Call in the Police?

It must have been a hand gun rather than a sports/hunting gun.

A couple of years ago I was bringing my motorbike out of winter hibernation. Started her up on the stands, but the exhaust sounded a bit odd, and there was a smell of burning hair. Thinking a good bit of revs would do the trick, I gave the throttle a few good twists, and blew a dead, lightly grilled mouse out of the exhaust. On the plus side, the bike sounded immediately better  :smiley:
