Things you keep in your boot....

Neither of the vehicles I drive HAVE a boot, so I can honestly say nothing.

But right now in the driver's side rear seat of the Toyota I have an air compressor, Coleman jump start battery pack, 1600W inverter, 2 ton trolley jack, 4-way wheel spanner, first aid kit, and a fire extinguisher. All in a milk crate.

Behind the seat in the truck I have a set of jumper leads, my 60,000 pound tow strap, 6 ratchet tie downs, and a lantern type torch. In the bed of the truck I have about 3,500 pounds of firewood I haven't unloaded yet. All in a specialy built box screwed to the cab floor.

I won't even go into what ever the hell my wife has in the boot of the Neon. I honestly have no idea. All I know is that if you open it, you better be prepared to stick around to get it to close again. That boot resembles a teenager's closet when he's told to clean his room up at 5:00 on Friday. Then again, for a supposedly 5 passenger car, there's only room to sit in the front seat. She's got a humongous pile of **** in the back and I have no idea why. But I'm tired of cleaning her car up for her only to have her complain that I threw out something important and three days later it look like I didn't do a thing. So she can live with a car that looks like someone dumped 5 dumpsters into it. I never get in it anymore.
 
From what I can remember, I have the following:

Ice Scraper
Electric Tyre Inflator
Blanket
Petrol Can
First Aid Kit
UK Road Map

Oh, and of course the spare wheel but that's underneath the carpet so probably doesn't count :p

I have a tarten blanket and that's it, no joke either!
Thats all I've got in mine, well 3 to be precise :o

They're handy for putting between/over/on/under all the various things I have to shove in there for work.
 
Umbrella and tyre weld.

There is a Genesis amp too but I want to move that to under the passenger seat so I can get rid of the huge foam tool kit and free up some space.
 
aside from a body I need to dispose of, just a few oily rags for me :rolleyes:
And because it's an escort I also have some water sloshing about in the spare tyre well, I'm not bothered by it rusting because last year a 5 ltr bottle of engine oil split open in the boot, rustproofing everything nicely ...which was nice.
 
Infinity 6x9's
Amp
2x Infinity active subs
2.5 Farad Cap
Tools incase I need to take ^ out

Spare wheel
Usual Speare Wheel tools
Jump leads
Jumper
Coat

Car wax
Rags
What ever rubbish the GF leaves in there
 
Spare tyre including screw, jack, 3 wrenches, electric pump, deicer, snooker cue extension, rags, thick coat, scraper, santa hat, oil

shotgun in gun safe under boot mat...and not all the time, clay shooting vest, jacket, cleaning kit, boots , dog bowl , lead , change of clothes, lamp and a few odds and sods
 
Hmmmm I have:

Umbrella (with lovely flowers on it)
De-icing kit and spare de-icer
Warning triangle
GB Map
Blanket
Spare rags

Also all the standard spare wheel/tools you get with most cars.
 
A couple of bulbs, a haynes manual, pointless cheap steering wheel lock, and a small can of WD40. Not much point in any of it really, but I guess it might come in useful at some point.
 
a roll of kitchen paper
jump leads
disposable camera
fire extinguisher
Haynes manual
torch
warning triangle thing
a small picnic rug
spare tyre
locking wheel nut key thing
jack etc...


and other bits and bobs :p
 
Just the spare wheel, which really does seem pointless being there seeing as I don't have any tools to remove a wheel in my car :D not to mention the locking wheel nutt is being used as a paper weight in my desk.
 
My BMX
rucksack full of tools to totally strip bike down
bicycle pump
bicycle helmet
bicycle shin and knee pads
Emergency roadside light
wheel brace
old bed sheets for rags or if I fancy sleeping in the car
road map
piece of rope

So basically my 3 door xsara is mostly a 2 seater with a load of bike bits in the back. It looks scruffy as hell though so if I go anywhere with the girlfriend I tend to take it all out and put the parcel shelf back in.
 
Jack, locking nut and a ghey orange space saver:o So if I get a puncture on one of the fronts I have to change the rear to the front and fit the ghey space saver to the rear :\
