Hello,

I was recently Having a look in my rear seat bins, There was a perfectly round object jammed in-between the panels with spot welds either side, It was painted..When i removed it the panels underneath were un-painted

Turned out to be 5 cent from 1967! must have gotten stuck there in the factory when the car was in production and painted over haha :D

What weird and wonderful things have you found? be it either old or new!


Milly

I found a sesame street character and some loose change in a fuel tank once, can't remember what date was on the coins but they weren't particularly old.

haha, I think i got off pretty lightly, bullets and rats!..Jeez :lol:

I bet stuff in the fuel tank is pretty common with it being so easy for kids or whatever to drop things in, bet theres a few barbie dolls kicking about in them!
