I bought a Mazda MX5 2.5 years ago and recently cleaned it out to sell it. Under the drivers seat I found a load of French Fries - funny thing is that I never ate fries in it since I bought it so they were there from the previous owner over 2 years back and they looked like they were freshly cooked, no mould no nothing - now thats what I call preservatives!!

I recently bought a pair of grey leather Recaros from a guy in Essex (eBay)
When I checked the seat springs, I found a pair of girls knickers stuffed on top of the canvas/rubber cushion base .. They had been there years . Looked like 80's style Woolworth specials. Checked 'em for skid marks and crusts .. but none apparent .. So obviously it wasnt a good night that night!

Ok, so I found a freshly laid human turd on my back seat!! Absolutely true!!! It was laid there from one of the guys who stole my Renault 5GT Turbo in 1990. Nice chap!

No wonder the copper told me to take a mask with me when I picked it up from where they'd dumped it!

Unfortunately this is completely true. It was the size of a very large banana, the bastard had obviously not heard of Branflakes when he curled one out!!

Even after the car had been repaired and valeted, it still funked of poo! And the insurance company didnt think that having a turd dropped out on the back seat was a good enough reason for me not having it the car back!

I dunno, I'd say finding a rusty knight would be a major find. Have you called the British History Museum?

In my days of repairing damaged cars.... I found Ł90 (real money) in the drivers sun visor flap in a J plate Rover 214 and wrapped around the steering column bracket on a very badly damaged G plate Rover Metro was a big lump of flesh ... I sold that car to my sister

ok, perhaps i shouldn’t mention the V plate Rover 75 that the bloke committed suicide in..... he had put a shotgun in his mouth and made a terrible mess of the interior and roof skin. you would be shocked at how much the authority’s left in the car... we got the valeter’s to take the seats out and power wash out the bits of mush and bone... they only wanted a ton drink on top of the normal price!!!!
