Title: What's in your boot?
Post by: mattneck(Beavis) on 21 September 2006, 17:50
Spurred on by the fact I'm trying to track down..

A first aid kit for the elft hand bracket

and a warning triangle.. for my mk2

I'm wondering what people keep in their boot..

Currently I only have my spare wheel, not a space saver but a full size steely and a toolkit sat inside it (with wheel brace/screwdriver/removal tool and jack, but theres noe more slot on it im unsure what for?)

Looking into getitng a cheap plastic box and adding fuses, fluids, etc and looking for some inspiration :smiley:
