    Default Strangest thing you've found on your car

    Simple really, like the title suggests. Whats the weirdest thing you have found on your commodore ( or other car). Can be anything really, something you just didn't expect to see when you popped the bonnet, or lifted the back seat (you get the idea)

    Ok mine:

    Pulled the grill out off my old VN Berlina and found that it had 'fish-fingers' written on the back of it.................. still struggle to understand how and why that got there!

    Missus came home a day or two after I bought the wagon, saying it was running weird and bottoming out on everything. So I went and got the jack, jacked her up (the car not the missus), and checked everything in sight - no scrape marks, nothing loose, stumped.

    So I decide to see if perhaps the exhaust was hanging low, so I jack the passenger side of the car up, jacking away, hmm thats odd - the gearbox hasn't gone up, but the rest of the car has! The exhaust was holding the trans in!!

    Both trans-mount bolts were missing, she was just hanging there!! Apparently the guy that rebuilt the trans just before I bought it had forgot to bolt it back in!

    And now the rear-main is leaking like a bitch on heat.

    Had a mate who had a Falcon EL XR6.. and had a horrible smell coming from under the bonnet. There was a small bird, dead, in his air intake.... sorta crispy and half cooked.... neither of us really wanted to touch it to remove it....
    I just love the way other motorists on the highway think it's an unmarked cop car.........

    And Yes, it is a manual

    3 brand new high mount center brake light bulbs... INSIDE the high mount center brake light case. One day started rattling for no reason, and I discovered them.

    Mad amateur wiring skills for the stereo.

    In the VL I found 2 amps. Both decent brand name amps too. When I bought the VR the glove box wouldn't open so when I got it home I busted it open. Found it still had the original book and that it lists the Commissioner of Police QLD as the original owner.
