Something I have just found in the A8
Hi All,
Does anyone recognise what this is? I found it whilst cleaning the car. Ooops!!! The last one is SWMBO stamping her foot. Be aware, she will be with me this weekend, tread with care.

Does any one know how to repair the hole in the floor of the front passenger area?
SWMBO has a problem with the imaginary foot brake pedal.

Not sure what the bit is, sorry
Unusual menu on the board. Foot stamping and finger pointing

Found it under the drivers floor mat.
Menu in top right reads "Dogs allowed as long as the owner behaves". This was in "The Three Roofs" cafe in Castleton. We took three grandkids into Speedwell and Teak Caverns. The truth is that SWMBO was telling me she was going outside for a puff on her e-cig. It does look like she is in charge though.

Well it's obviously a whatchamacallit that goes in the thingamabob.
Although, according to Google, it's probably some sort of gun ...

I've seen similar plastics to that at the top some tools when new, almost as if there should be the other part that, that bit pops into to close a bag or clamp cardboard shut.

The problem with a second hand car is that you never know what comes with it!!!!!!!
I've seen things like it when a toy arrives fastened to a card, but not quite the same. Hope that makes sense. When I first found it I thought it might be a linkage arm but then realised the sticky out bits at each end would not work very well. I'll put it into the odds and ends box, might find a use for it sometime.

Isnt it a bag closer? On some plastic bags there are two similar pieces (1 female the other male,) just below the carrying handle which press together to clip the top of the bag shut. Throw it away.

To give it's correct name, it's a piece of old packaging, also known as 'rubbish'.
Bin it. Unless you do that and a few miles down the road the car implodes, in which case my answer should have been; It's a crucial piece of engineering which should never, ever be removed from under the drivers mat.
