Kazi Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Found a pound coin holding my old Vespa together. The thing didn't work after I took it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair_GT Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I found this in the glove box of a gen 6 I bought recently. Also had an extending wheel brace in the rear foot well with no socket..so it couldn't be used for it's intended purpose. Not dodgy in the slightest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGZ Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Mine arrived in the UK with the usuals - a couple of yen coins, some Japanese flyers and stickers. Also had a receipt for a new battery. Was expecting a front lip as well, was shown in the pics and was mentioned on the bill of lading before I got the car (car was on Tein springs, and they had to take it off otherwise it wouldnt get on the roro) but some dock worker either here or in Japan fancied it for themselves and nicked it! Haven't seen it mentioned but are the yen coins supposed to be a luck thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppaboost Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I found some yen in mine and a boiled sweet of some sort in a wrapper, which my mate promptly ate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devious Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Yup. Some workers put them in as a good luck token. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adex Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Could be a 'Shaken' (Jap MOT) sticker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Askari Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 niiiice, the previous owner of your car might of had some enemies. hope you bought the car from a nice distance from where you live Reminds me of a visit I did to the factory that makes glove boxes for Range Rovers - apparently the dimensions of the glove box are set by the size of America's favourite handgun - the Colt 45 automatic. I haven't found one in my celica though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
