What is in your boot?

Rybo89 · 2 Jun 2011 at 01:07

Odd one, i know!

I was sivving through my boot today and thought i have never had a empty boot, ever! Always find crap/clutter to put in there!

Pic of my boot:

What is in there:

Engine oil (Just incase)
Tool box (always comes in handy)
Screen wash (just incase)
Car Cleaning products in Tesco bag (I don't know why i put them in the boot)
Vinal gloves (Come in handy for dog walks / car cleaning)
First aid kit (just incase)
Jump leads (just incase)
Old trainers ( for when i take lewis to play football or on park ect)
Extension plug ( Yet again i dont know why i put them in the boot)
Jack ( just incase)
Jet washer (and yet again i just dont know why i put it there)

Should just take the jet washer, car cleaning products and the extension out but i never do for some strange unknown reason.Just a pain when it comes to shopping and we end up having to use the back seats because the boot is already full. Then followed by a 5'2ft midget whinging all way home about me clearing 'MY' boot lol...

What is in your boot and why?

Engine oil, coolant, water, first aid ticket, fire extinguisher, halfords pro toolkit box, torque wrenches, foot pump, warning triangle, starting leads, funnel, waterproof jacket, umbrella.

Probably some other little bits but that's all I can remember.

Footpump
Jumpleads

I sense an OcUK first coming up, sort of like Mythbusters but more dangerous/stupid.

Apart from the usual of the spare wheel & jack under the carpet I have:
1l of oil
Coolant
Small toolkit
Waterproof hi-vis jacket
Hi-vis vest
Chemical metal
Tube of Hylomar
Jump Leads
Have some spare bulbs in the cubby hole between the rear seats too.

I can't get anything large in the boot. It may well be reasonably sized but the opening is pathetic!

Nothing

[TW]Fox · 2 Jun 2011 at 08:16

Why on earth would you carry a trolley jack and a pressure washer around with you?

My boot contains nothing but a bottle of Castrol Edge and a footpump.

I always wear white shoes. I hope to keep white shoes white with no creases for at least 2 month. So i always keep a old pair in boot for when im doing some kind activity that could ruin my new white shoes.

I know its stupid... I think its because i end up letting friends borrow them a lot of the time, so i just leave them in boot all the time. That is for both the jack and jetwash.

Sub, jump leads, polish (not sure why), and that's about it.
