Big butcher knife covered in blood in a reno5turbo I got hold of that had been stolen recovered.

Found this mad mini dragon style insect in my GTR when i bought it, the kid at the tyre place absolutley shat himself!

Brother imported a MadMax style Ford Falcon from Aus when i was young and he found a big (i mean almost sugar bag style) bag of white powder in a hidden compartment in the back of one of the seats...
I remember (I was under 10 at the time) him checking and saying it wasnt what it looked to be, but I wonder if he was just saying that to my mum n dad...

Lets hope Ian@Racetek sees this post and posts what he found in an old Reno5turbo of his that was found after it was stolen

My mate Mark.

In the days of getting mashed sitting outside a fast food joint I left to go home around 2am, as I had college in the morning and I was a very concsientious student

Nine am the next day I run out of the house, jump in my XR3i cabriolet and drive down the road. When I get to the first roundabout a hear a slightly scared scream from the backseat and a hand on my shoulder.

I turned round and my mate Mark was there. He'd blacked out on the backseat quite early on in the evening and I had completely forgotten about him. As I went round the roundabout he'd hit his head on the side panel and woken up.

I then hit a tree.

I was a great driver in my teens

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

Me and a mate where walking the dog's up the mountain a few year's back when we came across this pale blue Nova that looked like it had crashed through the hedges. We went over to have a look and found a dildo complete with pube's on the top and some dirty mag's, my mate took the mag's home with him haha!

I also found £9 in my aunt's Suzuki Baleno, I went with her to pick it up and on the way home I kept hearing something sliding and clinking around, so I started stuffing my hand's down the seat's etc until I got it.

This one wasn't a car, but when I was a kid ( about 13 - 14 ) we where collecting wood in July for the 12th, we got into this empt house and lifted everything from seat's to cupboard's. A few day's later we where sitting by the wood when this really old man came walking up, he went straight over to the minky brown single seater we lifted from the house, he ripped it open and lifted a huge wad of cash out and started running. There was at least a grand there or more!!!
