what do you guys carry in your Mini trunks? I just got one as my first car and was wondering what the best things are to carry in a trunk.

 

The correct term would be "loot in the boot". :

I've been driving a MINI for 10 years so this has changed over time. Currently I carry my Trader Joe's shopping bags, a bottle of Hydro detailing spray and my Griotts detailing towel, a bottle of Clarity glass cleaner and my micro fiber glass cloth. I carry a tire gauge. When I switch from run-flats I carry a bottle of tire-fix. As I'm a professional dog trainer I always have at least 2-3 leashes, collars and a bag of dog treats.

I hate having anything "extra" that rides around in the boot. It's one thing to be transporting a dead hooker torso or a bag of groceries. I had an ex-gf that rolled around with more crap in her car than a bag lady.

 

I carry my jack, tire inflator slime kit and spark plugs... have a 19mm wrench in by the tool kit to remove my tow hook license plate (just in case the car ever needs to be put on a trailer)

 

The OEM jack, breaker bar kit, OEM tool kit in battery compartment
Fine Highland wool blanket in Cameron tartan folded into a clear zippered sweater bag.
A first aid kit and a Griot's Garage tire repair kit containing a quart of oil, and a few cleaning supplies.
The tire gauge is in the glove box in the little clips on the inside of the door.
The F150 in the back lot is for transporting body parts. No hookers yet but a series of white tail and one very inebriated party goer.

 

Mini air pump with diy flat repair tools. Spare tire. Breaker bar. Interior detail cleaner/microfiber. Qt of oil. Soon to be aquamist tank and pump with extra meth.

 

When on the road cleaning supplies, extra oil, coolant, power steering fluid, assorted metric tools,scissors jack,lug wrench, belt, air compressor, fire extinguisher, car cover and last but not least a donut spare. Too much you say? It can be the difference between grief and relief. Always "be prepared".
