A large bag of very old, dry product associated with the first thing, found underneath the console of an LJ Torana a mate had bought for parts.

With the LJ Torana, really he was buying the weed. The Torana was just somewhere to conceal it...


pete wood - July 12th, 2006 at 09:37 AM

I had a mate once find a couple of loaves of garlic bread in the back of his mini. apparently, he went to a dinner party one night and forgot to take it in, 3 years later, he found them again.:puke

About $20 in coins under the back seat of my Camira when I removed the seats to fit new covers. They had been there for so long that some of them were one cent coins. Every coin had to be cleaned on the bench grinder wire brush. Yay!!! Free covers.

youve never seen my families toranas then, the rust i can agree on, but both my uncles original and my fathers cousins would cruise at 200kph, and his last one ran an ex race v8 which did 13s with a manual 'box

Turbo54 - July 12th, 2006 at 03:04 PM

Found 2 Australian gold souvereins in amongst the parts bins that came with one of the cars I bought. I traded them in for $380 bucks and the dealer told me take a second look to see if there was any more.

Helped a mate pick up a boat once when a friend of the owner turned up all flustered the boat was on the move. We were just about to head out the drive when he arrives waving his arms like a mad man. Stops us, says he has some stuff stored in the boat.

He jumps into the front compartment and drags out two huge bright orange cases. We didn't want to know what they were. Turns out he was a drug dealer and storing his gear in his mates old boat. Unaware the friend was. Then we find out it was worth half a mil and he was on the run. Was a warant for his arrest. Was Meph in the cases. Nice guy.

So glad he turned up when he did. Imagine we hit the street with the boat attached and then got pulled over by the cops. Would have been fun explaining that one.


fekkinell - July 12th, 2006 at 10:10 PM

in my bus i've found a toy plane and a plastic dagger behind the trim in the back. A broken up cigarette lighter, a pen, and a toy plastic machine gun in the main heater pipe. (must've been shoved down the floor vent). And my personal favourite... a toy McDonalds hamburfer that transforms into a robot... i havent seen one of them since primary school hehehe
