Default so whats in your boot?

following on from the classic boot pictures thread:
what do you guys keep in yer boot?
Ive got
a spare wheel (fairly naturally)
tow rope (unused)
length of wire (might be handy)
cloths (to clean hands if it all goes wrong)
wheel brace/wrench
flourescent lamp (battery powered)
pliers,
screwdrivers: small and large 'flat' midsize pozi
jack (in the wheel arch)

...oh, yeah and electrical tape

all seems reasonable to me

Ditto, plus a bit of mould, a spare wheel and wheel brace.

When I bought the car there was also 5p, a few random screws and 2 broken spark plugs

just a plastic crate, bungy tied to the plastic hooks- stops the junk flying around in the boot.

apart from tools, hi viz jacket.

tape/laser level, product catalogues for various building gear/items.

map, book to read if I'm sat about.

bits of cycling gear as I'll have a bike in the boot every 2-3 days.


more entertaining when I had camper vans, you could just find things for weeks on end that you didn't know you even owned.

STI 4 spoiler
Spare tyre
Some tools

However when I first got the car I kept finding 10p pieces all over the boot, stuffed down the back of the seats, in fact all over the car. Don't know what the story was there? I'm sure I paid a tenner less for the car in the end.

Snowboard Jacket
Snowboard Helmet
Mac (coat)
Umbrella
