Spunj

Hmm, normal stuff like tire iron, spare tire, some tools along with a bottle of water, jump leads, some bulbs, fuses and last but not least a fire extinguisher.

(Oh and that dead body I haven't been able to dump yet).

Balfa

space-saver spare tyre, old tyre with a 5 inch nail through the sidewall that i've been meaning to take to a place to get a second opinion on whether or not it's repairable , cranium boardgame, toolbox, some helium balloons :O, and i think that's it.

Interesting thread, but it's just going to turn into one of those ones where everyone posts their own and doesn't care about anyone else's (like "what tune are you listening to now").

Ditto, save it is a full sized, original spare that came with the car, probably got 20 miles on it, still has those little molding "threads" sticking out of the rubber.
A quart of engine oil, pair of workgloves and some safety flares.

And the dead body, was going to toss it in a lake, but it helps keep the back end of the car down, and is maintenance free, so I let it there. Might move it to the passenger seat, that way I could drive in the car pool lane, but he is not great company..... a bit stiff and crusty in character.

I cleaned mine out recently, so apart from the spare tyre and toolkit, I've a cd changer and an ice scraper.. the latter of which I've yet to use! I did have a whole bunch of horseriding gear in there too before I cleared it out. Now it just smells of horsesh*t...

dahamsta

Gods, I couldn't have all that crap in my boot. The motoring stuff I can understand, but the junk would drive me nuts. If it wasn't for the fact I'm moving at the moment, all you'd find in mine is a few motoring bits and pieces and... nothing else.

Heh, Cranium is a great game like pictionary, except you do all sorts of different things besides just drawing (charades, moulding stuff from clay, regular trivia Qs, etc.). See www.cranium.com

The helium balloons are ballast, to keep the rear end off the ground, so i can drift round bends.
Except that's a lie. They're left over after i tied a shed-load of balloons to the car for my wife on valentines day Dunno how many accidents that caused on Interstate-35! At the end of the trip, there were only two left!
I wonder if they increase my fuel economy by reducing the car's weight :O
