Title: Have you ever looked under the back seat
Post by: waspy on 22 April 2008, 21:29:33
I took my back seat out the other day as i've done with all my cars to see what i may find, yup a 50p piece.
Found a lot more though in other cars & some times it well worth a look.
So have you ever looked & what did you find  :question

When i bought mine i eagerly looked under the back seat to find .............wait for it...a purple crayon & tree clippings.
    Whilst hoovering out the passenger front 3 20p pieces fell out from behind the gear lever trim.
     Not a bad car for £949.40p!!! 8-)

Most I have ever found was a couple of wax crayons -- such is my luck .... I entered a prize draw once --- 115 tickets sold, 110 prizes on offer --- didn't win a thing !!!!  :'(

I too have found crayons, what is it with the damn things  :-/ :D

Sounds like a car of mine. ;D ;D ;D
When I was a teenager I took the horn push of my mini, going to put a new wheel on, found a note inside, simply said 'Nosey'
Thought it was bl**dy brilliant, would love to have shared the moment with the person who left it.  ;D ;D ;D

Yes, whenever I am short of cash that is where I look...and down the back of the settee and chairs indoors!  They are my emergency bank, but never yet found £50!

Found around £8 in tractor.

Had the rear seat out of MV6 earlier.  Not a penny, but hadly surprising, seeing as I've had it out a few times...

When taking the centre console apart to change the arm-rest, I found:

- Umpteen unused breathalyser tubes
- A handful of used(!) breathalyser tubes
- 3 pens (1 working)
- Stickers off apples (Royal Gala's appear to be the preferred choice of the Plod)
- A half-eaten bar of Dairy Milk Fruit and Nut (the rememants of which were melted)
- 90-odd pence in change

I'm a bit worried now - I've never looked.  

However, a few weeks back, we did some food shopping after work, and when we got home, we found that one item, definitely stowed on the back seat as we left the supermarket, had disappeared.  

I wonder what a cucumber looks like after 4 weeks under the back seat of an Omega?  Perhaps I'll leave it for the next owner.
