And this was inside!

Some from the front side.

Inside the front wing.

So how many are going to clean the insides of their wings, now?

Haha yeah the front wing in front of the doors in most cars is a great collector of flora and fauna. Spiders love that area ... and one car I bought had a mouse nest in there!!!

That, my friend, is an impact driver. But in this case, a torch.
I must say I was half expecting a huntsman to be lurking in there.

In one of my cars, I found a ring spanner down there once. The spanner wasn't mine, so either previous owner or mechanic dropped it down there a very long time ago.

Hopefully it was a 10 or 12mm. Did it at least fix a rattle?

When I stripped out my boot I found a fossilised whole apple. When I got coilovers installed, the mechanic found another one.

I feel like I've been robbed.
Whenever I do things like this I usually only find dirt, hair or used contraceptives.

I can't imagine anyone being flexible enough to do that in a 5.

I once found a vibrator in the storage compartment for the jack in a tradies van I bought.
