Worst= A vhs full of dodgy home made porn starring fat old women.

Non mini


Best (and maybe worst for driver!) was a bit off bullet lodged in the diff casing of our jeep we bought. The hole thing was peppered from the top, must have been strafed!

Worse, old macdonalds cups in my old now sold mk3 that had some unrecognisable goo in the bottom..:/

Best- about £8 in change in my mini

 

Worse- the half inch layer of what I can best describe as lard that appears to have melted and then reset in the footwell under the carpet. It was a nightmare to clean out.

 

I think the guys from mighty car mods can beat us all though. They found half a tub of rotting vaseline underneath the drivers seat of the civic they bought. The car stunk when they bought it.

Best- an old petrol receipt from 1990 :)

Worst- my dad's mk1 escort project with tennis balls where the pistons should be, sold as "engine needs little work to run" and made a big point that there was compression!

Best: No rust  :D

 

Worst: A fuel receipt from 1995; 15 litres of fuel for 8 quid, showing how expensive petrol is now  :(

I would pay £4-50 for that now... :-)
