What is in your boot... post pics

I have not seen a thread here on NAM like this. So I thought I would start one. I will kick it off...

I like to travel light. There is practiacally nothing in my car. As for the boot all I have is this slime kit http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B000YMP1SA?tag=betteraddons-20 a towel and a bottle of Prima Hydro. Oh and the owners manual.

My MINI's boot is bigger than your MINI's boot.

I do not have pictures, but will take some later today if i can.
I also like to travel lite, however after 2 flats I decided it was time to make a change, and the runflats were not an option for me.
So I now carry a full size 195 55 16 spare mountes on a OEM wheel, I have it straped down standing up, next to the wheel I have a Plastic container with jumper cables, some tools, flares, and emergency kit, and some extra clothes just incase I get stuck. I also keep a Gallon of Antifreeze in the back portion of the wheel and that is also straped in, I can not use the rear parcel shelve but to me that is not an issue. No more worries on long trips anymore for me.

Wow! I guess I'm really the pack-rat that people say I am.
On a recent trip to pick up my MINI after being serviced I was greated by three techs that wanted to meet the person with everything but the kitchen sink in the boot of a cabrio.
They were really curious about the 8 orange cones.
I pride myself on being able to use every square inch of boot space to the maximum.
Picture of boot contents.



Can you guess what all these items are?
For bonus points can you guess why they are in the boot?

I don't have a picture, but I have a blanket (in case passengers get a chill with the top down.) A shoe box to carry all my small things when I auto cross. A pair of walkie talkies. Aprons for work. A couple of pairs of shoes. My christmas lights (plugged in and strung up.) The front license plate mount that was never installed. And probably a couple other random things.

To me it looks like the MINI version of "The 12 Days of Christmas......"
