Blue tub of car cleaning thingys, first aid kit, metric socket set, the flash tuner for the custom tune currently installed to my ECU, jumper leads, a fairly comprehensive tool box - metric and imperial of everything, shifters, torx bits, vice grips, a panel beating hammer (I'm the daughter of a mechanic/auto body builder), and a wheel brace.
Then under all that, the full sized matching spare, and crap factory emergency scissor jack.

I also carry a set of spare bulbs in the glove box, and this in my handbag:

  • Balaclava

While quickly reading, I read that as Baklava and was like "why is he carrying a dessert in his trunk at all times?" :lol:
 
"why is he carrying a dessert in his trunk at all times?" :lol:

Seems like something I should carry, knowing you have some of that tasty goodness with you at all times would be very reassuring.

I have the space too as I currently have nothing at all in the back of Bugsy. The bottle of water and AA emergency kit are in the second row, I got fed up of them both rolling/sliding around the width of the car in turns. 3D printed holder for the bottle is on the 'to do' list. :)
 
 
Hmmm, lets see.

In the Honda I have this:

Some sheets of cardboard, my wax jacket, some screen wash, old wiper blades, some tape and half a bottle of water.

In the Dolomite 1850HL I have this:

DSC_0651%20Copy.jpg


A box of assorted tools inc torque wrench, a socket set, some 3-in-1 oil, two jerry cans, screenwash, two bottles of water, some bent chrome trim, a quarter section of a rear bumper, a stock airbox, some heat shielding that fell off the Honda, some water that's leaked in and collected in the spare wheel well.

Back when I drove the Dolomite 1300 every day the shit I carried with me was more comprehensive:

My wax jacket.
Some sheets of cardboard.
Socket set.
Selection of pliers, mole grips and screwdrivers.
Set of Imperial spanners.
Jack + axle stands.
A box full of spare bulbs and fuses.
A battery powered tyre pump.
Screenwash.
Coolant.
Brake/clutch fluid.
Bottles of water.
20/50W mineral oil.
5 litre jerry can of petrol.
 
I like the sticker on the rear window, just needs a Lucas joke sticker next to it. :D
