Hi,
I have just inherited a safety triangle and emergency medical kit from my dads old A2, it strapss nicely on the left hand side.
On the right I have a litre of longlife oil, a few pairs of disposable rubber gloves, and some rags and wipes in case of a trye change.
I will be getting a torch soon, and i think that will be all I need.
Anyone else have an emergency kit with stuff I have missed out?
-
EDITED - added a few things
spare set of bulbs
Quik Detailer and MF cloth for when pesky birds do their business over the car :angry:
Tool kit with torx screws and a few sockets
Jack and associated tools
Wheel assist removal tool - goes into the hole for the bolts and helps the wheel come off without damaging the rim and the brakes :afro:
Torch
Fuses
Jump leads
Umbrella
Map - use this rather than sat nav!! Cheaper to replace :wink:
Blanket
Bottle ot water to top up screenwash
And when travelling in the winter always take a flask of tea - came in very handy when i got stuck in traffic for 3 hours cos of the snow!!
think thats about it. need to pick up a proper warning triangle though

i to have almost the same too but no triangle but i also have a few fuses ,a litre of water, jump leads , tow rope , a foot pump , road map as you never know if and when you just might need them ... :smiley:

I have a bottle of LongLife slippery stuff, an 'ikkle bottle of screenwash, both in the side pocket.
A warning triangle clipped in the space on the left. A little blanket in the parcel shelf netting. A Hi-Vis waistcoat in the drivers seat map pocket (told to keep it there by a HATO - if you stop on the side of the road, you can slip it on before getting out of the car).
In the spare wheel well, I have a couple of emergency raincapes, some latex gloves, a couple of black bin liners (handy to sit on).
In the boot, in an old ice cream tub - spare spark plugs, spare bulbs, spare fuses, some garnet paper (don't ask!), some spare tyre valve caps, and a tyre valve core. I also have a pair of overalls (thought for the day - WTF are they called a "pair" ???).
If I'm off on one of my long touring hols (usually a month at a time), then I also take 5lts of oil, 5lts of screenwash, some brake fluid, WD40, a tyre compressor (well, that IS my spare in my RS4, along with a bottle of gloop!), a first aid kit, and a second warning triangle (in Spain, two triangles are now compulsory!).
I think that's all, folks!

I keep a 12volt fridge unit to keep things cool, or if feel the need for some chocolate :wink:

First aid kit, fire extinguisher, oil, 12V compressor, and whatever sh!t the missus has left there to rattle side-to-side on every corner (which is normally at least 2 pairs of shoes and an umbrella).

Wrong place for a Wilson if you have one as a deterrent against carjacking.
A Beretta 9mm in the glove compartment is better :rolleyes:

Razor wire and a couple of Claymore mines. Useful for setting up a defensive perimeter when using Sainsbury's car park - usually keeps the 4x4s at a safe distance.

you should chuck a ball in there too so if mr police man pulls you over and asks to see whats in your boot it looks like you've been/goin to the park for a friendly game rather than storing an offensive weapon! unless its got rusty nails stickin out the end then its a bit of a give away

A microfibre cloth, and some detailing spray is all that should be in your boot for emergencies.
Don't want that nasty bird poo on your paintwork.

I don't want any nasty birds any where near my car, inside or out, and it doesn't matter weather they have clean knickers or not !!! :shocked: :shocked:

You really shouldn't carry a bat, that could be construed as a weapon. What you need is a very large Maglite torch, it's perfect for all sorts of situations! ;)

best 5 minutes reading in ages, should have read this earlier!! My days going to fly by now!

thats what i carry in the glove, the 4 D cell maglite fits in there quite nicely.
you're other option is a breaker bar, but you would have to carry that in the boot really.

Assorted rugby/cricket tops - Australia/New Zealand/South Africa - why have they put the Rugby World Cup and World Cricket Twenty20 World Cup on at the same time :undecided:
Off Topic, but.....
At least the football for the Euro 2008 Championships is positive at last - mind you injuries have picked the last 2 teams and McClaren has got out of jail due to injuries to so called key players :embarassed:
The other McLaren situation is a bit surreal. No doubt they will appeal and fight the decision. Seems like Alonso might have the last laugh if he wins the F1 Championship but lets hope there is a real twist in the tail and Lewis Hamilton comes through. Alonso at McClaren next year, I don't think so :rolleyes:

Fcuking Spanish - first they steal fish from our fishing grounds, now they shaft one of the most loyal Brit F1 teams. :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:
I reckon Alonso will have a P45 in his hands before the end of the year, and I also rekon he'll get a few "dodgy" pit stops too. Not watched the Spa race yet, but I heard he well and truely shafted Lewis at the start. Never really liked the whinging sh!t, and he certainly does the F1 fans any favours. :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:
Hamilton for the no1 plate, and lead driver for McLaren next year! :smug: :smug:

My missus once opened my boot and in there was...
1 x industrial sized roll of gaffa tape
2 x coils of nylon rope
1 x tarpaulin
1 x garden spade
... She suggested I should probably remove the DIY murder/kidnap kit out of the boot in case I got pulled by the police for a broken tail light or something.
