Hmm, I need to buy some more interesting cars, best I've managed apart from the usual shrapnel coinage under the carpets was,
1) Mouse Poop behind the back seat of the estelle.
2) A black power ranger in the glovebox of the Favorit,
3) A Klingon bird of prey stuck to the Dashtop of the Saab.

Not in the garage, but in the engine bay of my Mazda I found a compressor from a Maserati. Bit strange.

Quite few weird things really...  About 10 years ago i was following a really scruffy merc 6.3 through traffic and when i pulled up beside it the driver looked like the old dude out of Christine... 7 years ago I read an advert in the local trade paper for a 6.3 and only $1200."Thats got my name on it! "I thought So I arranged to see it. Same car! .the owner had died from Scirrocis of the liver and the estate was being sold off. I ended up in an 'auction' for the car and paid what I thought was way too much money while beating off other potential buyers. I pulled it down to start a rebuild straight away,and pulled all manner of stuff from the car including a period becker radio cassette with record function (!) . Amongst the curse word was a tape cassette ( Rolling Stones ,Rolled Gold) .I never looked at it until this last Christmas and inside was the PO's name and Address back in New Zealand, He was guy I knew in Auckland in the 70's and and was the same age as me...  The other bizzare thing I found in another merc ,besides the Ford Falcon Six powering it  was a 1 meter long Rough scale snake!!, Deadly poisoness,one bite and you dead within 15 agonising minutes.  I got the local snake guy to fish it out ,but the idiot dropped it and it took off into the neighbors place,never to be seen again. ;D |

Many years ago I changed my driving style to cope with rising fuel prices; I have now reached the stage where I am contemplating keeping my eyes shut in order to lower wind resistance.

Just picked up a new ebay purchase last night and found a perfect working Snooper radar / laser detector under the seat, which was nice.
Should be worth a bit on ebay?
Also, I found rust, a leaking radiator, missing tax disc and broken drivers window winder, which wasnt so nice.
