I found a parking ticket from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, a dog groomers in Birmingham and someone's address and phone number in Newcastle. Also I found a tax disc that shows my car was W11ADD in 2009. Anyone recognise this reg?

Oh a left hand lady's woollen glove.

Anyone else found things under their seats?

After six months of ownership, I decided to spend an entire weekend cleaning it from top to bottom and found an unopened bottle of Lucozade Sport underneath the passenger seat. If only I could've found a bundle of fifties in the secret compartment...

Makes you wonder who owned them before and why they never cleaned up properly. I don't think I have ever sold/bought a car with anything under the seat, id check that before buying or selling as it tells you a lot about the owner. On the first S2 i viewed there was a cigarette butt in the roof folding mechanism as well as tat under the seat. Can a dealer not even manage to check small details that give a good impression? OCD should be the norm!

Jon you'd have hated mine when I first saw it then. It was absolutely disgusting inside. Even the salesperson commented on how minging it was. Even after it had been 'valeted' it was still rotten.

Sometimes you just have to try and look past it.

...and you still bought it Andy? You're a brave man. Then again, will the next owner of it be aware of your encounter with a tree (yes, that)?!

A 1TB hard drive, plus a JL 700/5 amp that I didn't know was there. Seriously, who checks under the seat when buying a car?!

The car was mechanically in great shape. A dirty interior wasn't gonna stop me.

I imagine it's next owner will know about the tree, seeing as you lot bring it in to everything!!
