Default Found this on the floor under back seat

Heya Found this under the back seat stuck to the floor on my 07 BF Mk2 XR6.
Does it mean anything or the assembly line guy was stoned and bored the day they made my car.

Judging by the skirts it's a November 07 xr6. Maybe the find is an added addition.

Heh. It is a november bf with the grey skirts but i dont have the front pods on it right now. It has the 6 speed auto, premier sound sys with 6 stacker and bluetooth. dual air etc. Got a bit ripped off with it from a caryard but have put some $$ back into it so is superb to drive. But was intrigued about the little thing under the back seat.

Probably from the previous owners kid. Second hand cars are like a meat pie... a mystery box.

Hmmmmm, it's a mystery. The Bermuda triangle in the b series (with 1 or more children) is the point where the seat back, side bolster and seat bottom all meet. This seems to be out of that region slightly. It has to be aliens.

My old man had an LTD which was always dealer serviced when under warranty, then he began home servicing it after that. He noticed scratched into the bottom of the sump was "Fords Suck".

I just find it intriguing. Did this mechanic scratch this into the sump of every car he serviced? If not, why this one?

Now I want to do some random addition to my cars before selling them just to mind F future owners.

Normally it gets noticed early, but for the past 6 weeks a college of mine hasn't seen the printed label I stuck on his tailgate (it's a van so the number plate is on the tailgate) and it gets lifted daily. The label is just above the number plate reads "I am a homosexual". I'm in no way biased towards any one elses gearing, but everyone at work is in on it and (I'm a repeat offender for various labels on cars) say nothing and appreciate the reaction once said label is found. You need to make work fun somehow.

I found an 18Ct diamond ring under the back seat of my girlfriends best friends 120Y.

Had it cleaned up and gave it to her after fitting her stereo. The b**ch didn't even thank me.

Such is life when you're 18 years old.
