What's in your glovebox?

[GJR 11L]

.....I'm a little concerned for those of you that went out at half eleven to check the glovebox... I was only looking cos I'd run out of skins

I'm even more concerned, mine were from memory. Accurate too, apart from the egg; that, I must have imagined.

 

......

 

Salt from KFC

 

 

 

Ketchup (see above).....

TIGHTWAD!

[FredTransit]

Good selection of shite then ;D I probably should carry more prophylactic equipment but choose not to cos it makes life more interesting.

 

and yeah, the guitar strings.. I don't even know what they are doing there.. I use heavies and these are medium. £3 posted sound ok?

 

also, I'm a little concerned for those of you that went out at half eleven to check the glovebox... I was only looking cos I'd run out of skins

I did my list from memory! I am sure there is loads I have missed off it, the daily's glove box is rammed with useful stuff....

[gearoil]

 

what do you keep in there?

Random, but since you ask.

 

In the van:

 

1. Misc napkins.

2. A new, unused cold chisel.

3. My chequebook ( found it! ) March Visa statment, and insurance docs for my Sierra.

4. A boxed fuel filter for a Fiat Siecento.

5. Misc dried up markers and biros with no lids.

6. A Machine Mart invoice.

7. Fluff, crumbs & paperclips.

 

Sierra is empty, Bimmer probably has her crap in it now.

Pattern emerging?

[FredTransit]

I was gonna say there's a pattern forming there China Tom.....

[GJR 11L]

FFS, don't anyone Google for "Golden Elephant" with safe search turned off.

 

I didn't realise it was possible for people to do that!

 

I'm surprised, given the cross-section of posters on here that, so far, no-one has admitted to:-

Latex gloves

Balaclava

Duct tape

Chloroform soaked rag.

Nah, you need to keep your chloroform-soaked rag in a sealed jar, then stash that under the rear seat cushion, hidden among the sound-deadening material and sundry skin fragments from your "subjects."

 

Forgot the gloves, but mine live in the boot and the current batch are the nitrile ones, which are rubbish, IMHO.

[FredTransit]

Well I don't know what you are used to searching for, but I had to go and have a look, but after 3 pages of Thai restaurants, I gave up looking for something bizarre.....

TIGHTWAD!

Yup!

 

Had a further rummage in there at lunchtime.

 

Found some of those clip on sunglasses (owner unknown), a fair few of those funny little pens you find in Argos, part of the surround which goes around the radio and a bolt with a large washer around it.

 

Useful stuff to have eh?

^^ ted, that's probably the most worrying list yet!

 

I had another peek today.. Last night I missed the pack of Ibuprofen and the granada owners manual (why? it's a cortina??) and I shan't even start on the pile of stuff where the back seat is supposed to be!

[autofive]

i went on a hunt for some blade fuses tonight, and i started in the Cortina, in the glove box i found:

 

4 money bags with cortina interior screws and fixings

a tin of tescos deodorant

some post office receipts from 2008

some mints

empty fag packet

empty rizla packet

a screwdriver with a chewed-up end

some keys - no idea what they are for

a somerfield points card - for p38 spreading use only

a laptop power supply with multiple ends - never used

empty toilet roll holder

one packet of mcdonalds tomato sauce - URGH

 

and a pack of blade fuses - all 10 amp, so no use

 

in the Zephyr i found the glove box contained rust and an empty lighter

[scaryoldcortina]

there is a linbin full of blade fuses next to the toolbox

[autofive]

its okay - i nicked some out of the twincam granada

[FredTransit]

Blade fuses. Does not compute....

[Marshall]

"The Final Countdown" album by Europe on cassette. Bought new from Asda in High Wycombe in 1987...and yes I still play it.....

Nothing wrong with a bit of Europe - If you listen to some of their back catalogue they are actually a far better group than people may give them credit for.

 

My glovebox - mainly empty fag packets and pay an display tickets and bags of Haribo if I am feeling flush - Tangfastics!

[scaryoldcortina]

its okay - i nicked some out of the twincam granada

ok.. did you check the glovebox?

[FredTransit]

It's at times like these I think we need a chat room on here.....

[scaryoldcortina]

Hey, I'm just trying to keep him on topic! lol...

 

 

PS, Fred, your escort was boring. A headlight bulb, an empty rothmanns packet and some costcutter receipts. Nothing else.

You're driving a paramedic vehicle!

Found a few other odds and sods in mine but nothing of significance.

[FredTransit]

Not guilty yer honour. I put none of it there. Can't find the handcuffs though, was hoping they might be there. Never mind, found another pair I forgot about, so easy come easy go....

[scaryoldcortina]

Handcuffs? wouldn't have said anything even if I did find them... which I didn't....

[FredTransit]

she was last out in uniform.....

[scaryoldcortina]

a likely story...

[Rusty Pelican]

Didnt find much , Two handbooks for one CD player , one in every language known except english and one with english and a few others ,

Couple of bulbs

The strap that used to hold the glovebox up but now lies broken within

A few sundry screws and a zip tie

[mk1_4dr]

Some interesting collections of potentially incriminating objects.....

 

BMW:

AA battery charger,

USB multi datacard reader,

OEM torch,

a roll of gold sticky-back coachline,

BMW parts dept receipt (I think its for the speedo diff sensor),

KulaShaker 'K' CD (even though theres no CD player),

a couple of little screwdrivers,

spare lighter (a black clipper),

a spare pack of big and little silver skins,

a bottle of aftershave,

slimline filter tips.

Theres some other stuff, I'll check later.

 

EscRot:

Nothing, as there isn't a glovebox.

[hennabm]

323i - just its service book and the OEM torch that still works.

116d - a couple of CDs and its now full. They don't make gloveboxes like they used to...

320i - 30amp blade fuses in case something should blow. A duster for wiping the inside of the windscreen and a trye pressure gauge.

 

All very boring I know.
