Has anyone ever found weird things from previous owners in your car? Just in every car i have owned there has been strange findings in them! Not so many in my celeb but my polo was just plain weird!

A can of hemp oil in the boot of mothers turbo.

A belly button stud in he back of ollies 440. (I picked it up not knowing what it was

)

I usually find money under the seats...record so far is a fiver in a 200 quid 740. Along with spme victory V's And if you get a 2/7/900 series there's always a free petrol can under the boot floor at the sides!

Oh, and there was the time Edd was at a scrapyard and saw a good door pocket, went to empty it to remove and pulled out two used condoms

Hang on, just realised you haven't described yours, in which case disregard my last post, my reply should simply read : "Yes"

Nothing odd but my mate found some girls nickers in a IER 557 ticket printer (what airlines use to print the boarding cards) at heathrow terminal 3.

The only thing I've found was in my S. An ash tray full of change, the previous owner used to use a toll road regularly and must have forgotten to empty the tray before I took it away.

In my Silver 440, i removed the back seats when swapping the interior. I found a set of passport photos of an old dear, about 80 ish i'd guess, and a pair of Deirdree style reading glassess. That explained the amount of scuffing on the bumpers, but i was more worried as to why the glasses were under the BACK seats....

Under the passenger seat in one of my turbo's, i went rummaging for change after i bought it. Felt something sharp, pulled my hand out and 3 of my fingers were pissing with blood!
Had a look underneath and found a smashed glass juice bottle, cheers to the last owner!!

Better than 2 used condoms though

Think i had half of britains beaches in my ES, i have never vaccuumed so much sand in my life!! And its a pain to vaccuum cos its never all gone, everytime you take to the vaccuum again you see grains of sand bouncing around and then you look at the vac and see it half filled with the stuff-again!!

I found money under the seats in my GT ... was about Ã‚Â£1.50. Also found a brand new aux belt in the boot ... two weeks later the aux belt snapped ... coincidence? I should have joined the dots huh!

I remember Rohan (VDG) had some interesting finds?

That is true!
1st ever 480 Turbo- found cans of Slim-fast in the boot.

Bloke I bought it from did look a bit heavy.

Last 480 Turbo I bought- was changing the drivers side window motor only to discover that: A- there was no motor, just a block of wood holding the glass up, and B- a small glove puppet bear (I kid you not, inside the door, poor chap probably locked away there for years).
