    So boardsies, if you drive, what's in your car boot?

    I have a Gerry can for diesel if I run out. A toe hitch rope. A repair kit, jack, pump, reflector jacket, warning triangle and rain coat in case I have to travel or walk in pissings of rain and an angles grinder in case the slithery serpent clampers clamp me illegally (and in the wrong, might I add) again and my fathers birthday present

    I have no need for any of that stuff, AA bring their own tools.

    you have the makings of a good movie there, wear the wetsuit and high heels, put the body board on the bucket which is turned upside down and placed on an uneven surface or hill.

    stand on the body board and try to stay on it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    I use mine as additional storage, so there's things in there that were annoying me in the house. What I need is a shed.

    Currently nothing but jump leads. I use my back seat as a make shift boot. I put my bits and pieces there, which normally is gym stuff,school bag,jacket and a bottle of water. I love having shag all responsibilities.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,676 ✭✭✭✭Galwayguy35


    Spare tyre, jack, 2 bags of coal, a chain, lamp, rope and a hammer.

    Used to drive around with my friend Dave in the booth, managed to make a Clio a 6-seater..


  • Site Banned Posts: 85 ✭✭Fr_Fitzexactly


    There is a wee section under the floor of the boot that usually has the spare but that spare isn't in there anymore because I used it yesterday. There is lots in that section like spare wiper blades, a rope and a ratchet strap

    I'm not sure whats in the rest of the boot. An orbital sander and loads of other stuff I should probably take out


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,721 ✭✭✭✭CianRyan


    Trolly jack, axle stand, two blankets (one for dogs one for peoples), two hi-vis vests, wheel, wheel brace, bulbs, coolant, oil, lowering springs, random screw drivers, hiking boots.

    I need more space in the house.

    Third party jack as the scissors jack it came with is utter sheeeite, as they nearly always are. Rename them to "HeartattackKnucklescraping device". Power bar for removing wheel nuts, as again the one supplied is as much use as a tinkers curse, rug, tyreweld foam, spare wheel, a spacesaver, but the spare wheelwell can actually take a full sized wheel*(near 20 year old car design so...), tow rope, small air compressor that runs off the fag lighter, torch, warning triangle and first aid kit. All that fits in snugly with the spacesaver wheel in the wheelwell.










    *had a Renault many years ago and the effin spare wheel was hanging in a cage on the underside of the car. Right pain in the tits.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    a roll of duct tape...a chain saw....a spade....and some red stains on the carpet of the boot. hahahahaha


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,456 ✭✭✭✭Mr Benevolent


    Water, a bag of Twix, windscreen washer fluid, proper jack, 5L of petrol, 2L of engine oil, jump leads, flashlight, duct tape, silicon sealant, jubilee clips, glowsticks, hammer/axe/knife thing, kitchen paper, electric tyre pump, spare wheel, the list goes on...

    Wibbs, what car do you drive? I get the impression you're a car enthusiast.

    Gerry has been looking for that! :mad: :P

    All I have is dust! Had a load of Cisco kit in it that was worth more than the car the other day though.

    Let me guess an 8-port gigabit switch and a 7960G, and the car is a 97 Corsa 1.2 3-cylinder petrol? (35bhp when new, 15 or less now)
