Instituttets biler Mondeoen, som primært har været brugt af Fysikshow, bliver skrottet på grund af alder. Den gamle Passat (YN 52187) kan fremover bruges til Fysikshows aktiviteter (og alle vi andre, såfremt den ikke bliver brugt). Den ny Passat (AJ 34465) kan bookes af IFA-medarbejdere, og lånes ikke mere ud til personer udenfor instituttet. Udsorteret udstyr fra skolefysik I lokalet 1521-318 (lige bagved IT-helpdesk) ligger der en større bunke udsorteret udstyr fra skolefysikflytningen, som kan være til nytte for andre.
