found in glovebox

[mgbmedic]

I found a dashplate in my basket case tr3b that reads, Indy outy 1st place.
Date on the plate says 1963. Any old timers out there remember this event?

I was only 3 years old but I remember it well.........lol'

I never received an invitation to the "Indy outy" but to earn the distinction of 1st place I wonder if you even need a car.

In my glove box I found a matchbook from the Rocket Motel in Custer, SD, a Phillips 66 oil change sticker from 10/74, and a Phillips 66 receipt for 9.4 gallons @ $6.05 on 10/78. I wonder if that was it's last tank full.

I found the original tax disc from July 1961 in my glove box, and a pair of orchestra ticket stubs from 1970 in the ashtray.

After taking apart the driver's side door on my GT6 to fix the window winding gears, I found a "roach" (e.g., a mostly smoked marijuana joint) inside the bottom of the door! It was VERY old, probably decades old.

Uh-oh! :blush:

Good thing thing I never encounted cops with drug-sniffing dogs!

Omg. That is so funny. I do remember finding tokens to a peep show in Kansas City inside the glovebox of an mgb.

Being a fine, upstanding person of excellent moral character, he Googled them of course! :angel:

Found a smoking pipe (wacky tobacky type) in my 4A, and more evidence in the parts car ash tray. Maybe he just rolled his own smokes.

My prize finds were some of the original TR3 string tags that were on the car when new. One tag explains how to properly set and release the emergency brake and the other concerned coolant. A fellow club member was going to reproduce them for TRF but it turned out it wasn't feasible. There was a third heavily soiled tag that was tied to the brake master that wasn't worth saving.
In my TR6, I also found a stringed item, NOS, still in the package. If Tampax ever goes belly up, it might be worth a nickle.

Thats pretty cool. Guess they never called. I wonder if the number is still his. I cant decipher the date, 2004? Looks like a pretty bad year for the car, if true. But I would guess the date was after 10 digit numbers became mandatory even for local calls, which was about the mid 90s for us.

I found Jimmy Hoffa in the trunk of my TR-250.

I found a handful of .177 pellets and one 25-caliber pistol round under the mat in the boot of my '78 Spitfire. The PO lives in the countryside of Ohio so they may have been his but who knows?

Oh, and the pistol round was live.

I'm sure that is what inspired your BCF name.

Yes, it's 2004. The cars (yes, cars. I had to take 5 Triumphs in order to score the 250) had been sitting in storage for years. 2 of the 5 were promptly disposed of. The 250 had last been registered in 1987. The only reason any of them aren't still there is he lost his storage. I'm about to cut up the 69 TR6 and haul it away for scrap unless someone really wants it.

I found this guy in the trunk of a parts spitfire.

I found a live opossum in the trunk of Ol' Rustbucket when I bought it. He was not happy about being evicted.
