Previous owner findings!

Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

My 480 had a pair of aviator style glasses and a quality lighter down the back of the passenger seat. Other finds have been a lump of weed in my ex-police training 850 T5 under the drivers seat :eek: and a laminated A4 sheet of when my Range Rover was for sale years ago inside its drivers door. No dubious finds in Catgrooms charger though! :lol:

Four window scrapers!! two under each seat - why? (my theory is so the driver and passenger can attack any ice/snow with a scraper in each hand for super fast removal ;)) i found em when i shoved my scraper under and had no room lol.

an some big ass sunglasses which the wife claimed, she love's em.

It hit me on the head when I removed the headlining... was
sitting between the headlining and the roof panel...

i just got stopped in SOHO having dropped a girlfriend off (dont even think about it). I was setting my satnav up when a cop drove past then a few mins later I was stopped for acting dodgy in a area full of drug dealing and ladies of the night..

They took the 480 apart but found nothing.

Shame... I could have got a photo of them showing you stuff lol.
