Ok, so my first post was asking for help so I'm feeling guilty. I want to know if any of you guys have found strange things in your Porsche? I was fixing the switches on my drivers side seat the other day and found a pair of vintage YSL sunglasses, an old parking ticket and an unused shotgun cartridge. Can any of you guys beat that?
 
I never found any ammunition. However, it is traditional to find several half-baked and obsolete alarm / immobiliser systems strewn about the place, once you get the imterior out of the car.
 
Found a sat nav under my seat when fitting the new bucket seats, turns out it was the one I though had been stolen from my car some 2 years previous. Ops...

So true. [:D]
 
I don't think I've pulled enough of the interior out to find knackered alarms and immobilisers. But I have found miles of strange wire leading to seemingly nothing. finding the sat nav must have been good... even if it was your own!
 
When I stripped the interior out of mine I found loads of change inc old 10p and 50p coins and a plastic lion.
 
I think thats the winner so far! Who wouldn't want to find a plastic lion?! Its probably quite sad but I love finding bits, it tells you a bit of a story about the cars history.
 
I've not found anything in mine yet but did go to view a square dash 944 once. The owner had all history except the MOT's, he said they'd been lost.

I found them, hiding between the carpet and the floor by the sill! They were sopping wet too so needless to say I didn't buy the car [;)]
 
I had both the obligitory old style coins and a couple of knackered alarm boxes and a tracker.


However going through the large file of service history I did find an envelope that when opened it contained Toe Nail clippings[:'(]
 
I didn't find anything interesting in the interior, but when I checked the option codes on the sticker I found a Limited Slip Diff I didn't know I had!
 
Im loving this thread [:D], found nothing in my 944, but having owned, maintained & bought over 60 Toyota MR2 Mk1's in my time ive found, screwdrivers, spanners, bracelets, gold & silver earings, copious amounts of pens, ironically one of them was a Porsche pen which i still have, loads of cash including the folding type & a 2.2 air pistol under the drivers seat... the prievious owner must have been dodgy LOL !!
 
When i took of a dash for paint job i found FOUR bullet holes on the fire wall.It is not so strange since the owner of the car in the late 80's was a known criminal and he survived attempt of assassination while he was in this car. BEAT THAT [:D]
 
I took apart a square dash 8v for parts and found £3.27 lots of expensive cigar wrappers and loads of Stanley blades?
Apparently the cars was owned by he towns drug Barron!
Oh yes and some strange immoberliser system with lots of wires!!
And a small plastic zebra!

You've got to tell us that story, unless of course you'd have to kill us afterwards! [:D]
 
Im not sure what this tells us about 944 owners? It seems we all love Guns, drugs and plastic animals!?

I also found a rather nice necklace in my Boxster... I'm not sure thats something to be proud about. Really not helping with the hairdressers car thing.
 
Well P-Mac, he is called Dragan - so Im going to guess that he works for a Nederland-based ecstasy manufacturing ex-Serbian warlord who is wanted by the UN in The Hague for war crimes.

It was a 924 turbo,that our famous car racer bought in 1983 and after a while he took it to Germany to DP to do a 944 body conversion.They were pleased to do it for 10.000 DM(deutch marks).After the car was done when he came to pick it up,he asked the owner or the manager of the shop can he try the car to see how it handles now.Not realizing what were the attentions of the car owner the manager agreed.When the owner and the car was gone for about an hour or two,there was something suspicious to the manager,so he called police.And the owner was caught on the Austrian/Hungarian border trying to escape without paying :).After a small jail time he came back to Yugoslavia and after a while sold the car to in that time successful businessman who gave it as a present to a weary hot and weary famous singer that was his lover.After she drove it for one or two years,a criminal in rising (he was 18 than),came to her and said "Why don't we trade you take my Mercedes 560 SEL and give me you're Porsche"and she accepted.After one week he came back and said"You know what I like the Porsche but I also like the 560 SEL so why don't you give me Mercedes back".After she accepted she did not realized that he wants Mercedes back but he don't want to give Porsche back,so he took the 560 and the Porsche.And now we come to the part with the BULLET HOLES.Some time latter after partying in one Belgrade club,when he was heading home he entered his Porsche and just about he wanted to go one man jumps in front of him and opens fire from a scorpion gun.He bends behind the dash and survives with few gun wounds on his leg and arm.So that is the whole story how those holes were there.The car now has a 944 S2 engine,suspension and the interior,but still has a 924 turbo dog leg transmission.Sorry for such a long write up but I wanted to tell you the whole story.And sorry if I make mistakes in spelling,English is my second language.
Oh I almost forgot the owner of the car was killed some time after (but not in the car) when he was just 21.
