This is gonna take a while :eek:

In the boot -
  • change of clothes + cold weather stuff
  • sleeping bag
  • wash bag
  • roll of bin bags
  • 5L petrol
  • crappy peugeot wheel brace (it bent the other month when I was planning on undoing a wheel nut :eek: but I still keep it around to undo the spare wheel)
  • decent wheel brace that actually works
  • first aid kit
  • jump leads
  • common tools - e.g. screwdrivers, spanners etc of common 106 sizes
  • crimping tool with an assortment of crimping ends, relays, fuses, spare wire, switches, and the like (never know when that Peugeot electrics'll come back to haunt you, especially when you've a spaghetti-nest of alarm-wires stashed under the passenger floor mat:D)
  • toilet roll (for checking oil level primarily :p)
  • 1Lish of oil (gotta find a bag for it, it's leaking a bit :()
  • squash racket and shoes
  • several cans of red bull/lucozade
  • air compressor
  • exhaust repair putty
  • multimeter

Think that's everything, lol.

And in the cabin..
  • torch
  • umbrella
  • atlas
  • compass :D
  • coat

I have far too much stuff but can't be bothered to clean it out/prioritise..

Just had a massive clean out of my car. I did have about 10 empty bottles of water/coke. Food wrappers and a shed load of car park windscreen tickets :eek:

All I have left is the usual stuff


CD's
Sat Nav
Tyre Inflator
Bottle of Oil
Pen and Paper
Car manual
 
Electric Air Compressor
1 litre of spare oil
1 litre of ATF
Spare Coolant
Assorted spare hose clamps
Assorted tools
Working Gloves
Assorted cds
some pens
some spare change
Road Atlas
Torch (actually got the BMW original)
Assorted wrags

That's pretty much it, suffice to say driving an old BMW has made me carry a ton of stuff I never used to, the funny bit is I have full breakdown cover though :p
 
Apart from the standard stuff...

- Umbrellas (1x Golf - Boot, 1x Small)
- First Aid Kit
- Adjustable Wheel Brace
- Cleaning Stuff
- Handful of various fuses

..and probably other stuff that i've forgot about
 
one of those fold away rain coats, just incase i get caught out
a child seat (for when i'm looking after my niece)
bluetooth hands free kit
phone charger
USB flash drive with mp3s on to listen to on the stereo
sunglasses
demister pad
 
i have..... about 10 pairs of shoes in my car :D some plastic (grocery) bags, tyre inflator, tennis racquet, bottle of screenwash, ice scraper, chamois sponge, mints, box of tissues, a pen, a plastic fork, gym bag
 
I keep just about nothing in my car - I don't even have a spare wheel. The only CDs are in the multi-changer.

When I'm feeling adventurous, I may occasionally put the compressor/tyre-repair crap in the car, but even that stays out of the car most of the time.

In the Mondeo there are currently two used 225/45/18 tyres, a wooden train set, some winnie the pooh (and co.) bears, a flat 'micky mouse' jump pack (£29.99 from a service station - not mine) to which I do not have a charger for, and a tube of bonjella.
