What's the oddest thing found in your Engine Bay?

[james_tigerwoods]

Topping up the oil in my Passat at the weekend and I notice something glinting down by the radiator - I look closer and, to my surprise, I find a cake slice server thing in there. Confused? Very....

Is it just me?

While building my first kit car, my neighbour's cat used to sleep in the engine bay.

Problem was that he was deaf, and I was paranoid that I'd drive off with him sleeping in there. Luckily (from a certain point of view), he died before I finished it.

Why is it necessary to quote the OP's post when you are the 2nd person to answer? should I have quoted his post as well, just in case somebody thought I was answering a post last week on Thursday at 11.22am?

I found a baby seagull in the airbox of the Vito last week.

A dead and crispy mouse inside the air box of my MKII Astra.

I once found a working antique record player lodged under my bonnet playing a live version of the Cliff Richard classic Summer holiday

[chrisr29]

Upon opening my bonnet and expecting Mr Kippling to come flying out I found, to my amazement, an engine!

I once found an original copy of the bible under my bonnet, which was nice.

It gives the respondent a reminder of what he's responding to while he types

Personally I reckon he took his car to Kwik-Kake instead of Kwik-Fit by mistake.





I found a big black disk in my engine bay - it was 12" across. It this a record?

Never caught the buggers in action but mice made off with half the insulation of my engine bay for their nests!

Lucky they didn't take a liking to power cables

I tried to find a bonnet but failed then the lotus salesman took me round the back which was a surprise.

[cheshire_cat]

I opened the bonnet to find a full volumeof the 15th edition of the Britannica Encyclopedia!

[hornetrider]

Imagine my surprise the other day when I opened her up to pop some oil in. Hiding inside was none other than M. Khan! You could have knocked me down with a feather.

I just opened a box of bakewell tarts to discover a V12.

I'm starving, too.
