Strange Find

neb · 11-02-2005, 12:44 AM

I was swapping the front seats in my car today and I noticed a lump in the carpet that had been annoying me for a while which i thought was a bit strange. I always thought the actual floor had been pushed up somehow but I hit it and noticed it was squishing in a bit. So I put my hand under the carpet and I found an Interior Dome light plastic cover bit.. the actual plastic dome bit... What the hell! This would of been sitting under my carpet for 12 years from the ford factory... !!

Anyone else found any weird stuff like this?

Took the carpet out of mine for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I found a 'Made in Australia' tag and a couple of dead moths. Do I win anything?

I literally found nothing under the back seat of the XR. I doubt anybody has sat there all that much since new.

TheSneakiness · 11-02-2005, 06:11 PM

ive bought a few cars from the auctions and you usually find heaps of crap in those!

or if youre getting some interior parts from a self serve wreckers...always pays to look around, never know what you may find!

Sundeep · 12-02-2005, 05:43 PM

I found 50cents and what looked like old McDonalds fries. I also found a five dollar note in my ashtray if that counts?

Kenaz · 12-02-2005, 08:48 PM

In my EA I found about $5.00, some pens, a hair clip and some lollies. In my VS I found absolutely nothing. In my EL I found nothing again.

I never found anything quite that good, but I did find a slinky under my back seat. It was a bit squashed however.
And some old KFC chips... I did not eat them, however.

RED_EL_XR8 · 14-02-2005, 10:42 AM

I once found some extra horsepower in a HK Kingswood, that was sure strange.

need psi · 14-02-2005, 06:45 PM

when i first bought my car i riped up the back seat and found about 5bux, 2 years later done the same thing and found one condom (not used), 2 of my ex girlfriends earings, 4 cigs (i dont let anyone smoke in my car so i dont know how they got there), some maccas fries, a marble, and lots of m&m's. took me about 2 hours to get all the m&m's off the floor with a scraper.

in my corolla i found about 4bux worth of 1 and 2 cent coins, a receipt from 1989 for food (from glenn innes in nsw!) and lots of oil which i spilt.... didnt damage the vinyl seats though.

If the condom wasnt his he sure could use a shotgun under his seat!

I found crap all in my EF, few pens, matchbox cars and some hair clips

sphell · 15-02-2005, 12:45 AM

i can't remember what was under my seat but probably not much since I got the car from my parents.

But under the carpet of my dad's old 82 corolla I found a whole bunch of 'The Sun' newspapers someone jammed in there to absorb the water coming through a leak in the floor.

I also find heaps of weird shit in Jap cars (particularly R33 skylines) when I pull the door trims off at work. Jap coins, parking/lotto tickets (i can't read them!), weird little plastic toys and nic nacks.............Why can't a APEXI AVCR or a Greddy boost gauge fall out once in a while?

ned · 15-02-2005, 01:00 AM

The car wasn't mine, it was one of my mates dad's. They didn't get a reward but they got into a magazine!

I suppose thats better than nothing.

deankdx · 16-02-2005, 09:46 PM

the best find i have had was in my XE ute,
a shifter, 2 screwdrivers, nearly ten bucks in coins, 6 cigarette lighters(one worked) half a bucket(lots anyway) of back window glass that had been broken and fixed but not removed bench seat to clean, heap of small stones(the ones that get stuck in you're work boots sole) and a RAT nest!

i'm dissapointed when i cant find anything under a back seat but old melted lollies.
