Default The most boring post on here, ever?

Not very exciting, but does anyone else find that if they put their service / handbook wallet in the cubby hole by the drivers knee where it belong, it falls out within a few miles.....

It is a step up from my B5 A4, where the wallet wouldn't even fit in the holder.

I was thinking about that the other day. Came to the conclusion that keeping the service history in the car wasn't really a problem. If your car gets nicked, other than slightly helping the resale value, it wouldn't gain the burglar anything?

Keeping your V5 in the car isnot a good idea though!

I keep my service book with the car bills in a folder - the handbook is living in the cubby OK - are you sure you're putting it all the way in? I thought I had it in OK, but then realised there was another slot above the main cubby which is a much tighter fit but has a little hand grab slot so you can get a decent grip to pull it out again?
