What's in your boot?
 
I was walking through a parking lot a few days ago and saw a car with tons of junk in the boot (it was a small hatch-back so I could see inside). It got me to thinking about what I have in my MINI now and what y'all have in yours.

I have a microfiber towel and a small cotton towel from the last time my car was washed (had to take it to the touchless car wash as it was too cold for me to do it by hand), a picnic blanket and the MINI toolkit that comes with the car (MCS).

Whats in your boot?

The tool kit, jumper cables, a 12-volt spotlight, $10 walmart 12-volt tire pump, set of torx bits and a handle for them.

Visible to the average person walking by? Fire extingusher.

Hidden? I have: MINI tool kits, Blanket, snow brush, spare shirt, jacket with reflective markings, Disposabl,e camera, fix-a-flat, compressor, torqure wrench and socket for lugs, 2 1-ft glow sticks, 4 D-Cell Maglight, CB radio, paper towels, glass cleaner, GPS reciever for my laptop And on a regular basis I'll bring a camera bag and associated equipent and a backpack with various materials. Also it is not out of the ordinary for me to carry a tool belt and socket set. Compliments of my custom RSD again the fire extinguisher is all that is visible 90% of the time. :)

Lets see,

MINI tool kit, LED warning flashers, and a Quart of oil.

Also, since my MINI was delivered in Spain - it has the euro safety triangle in the blue case ( with all the "911" numbers for the euro countries embossed on it ) mounted under the rear shelf, and the euro first aid kit.

:thumbsup:

I see a couple of Minis pictured here, that would tend to get shot at in our neighborhood!

Anyway, currently in my boot is a Moss Car Cover, a tool bag, and a California Duster.

Nope... I only carry that when I'm going on an all-day trip. Otherwise, I leave the QD stuff in the garage and give the MINI a quick detailing every day when I get home from work. :thumbsup:

In the main boot compartment there is: boot matt, tool kit, roll of paper towels, glass cleaner, snow/ice scraper, and collapsable shovel.

In the side compartments: 12VDC compressor, "Slime", and tire plugging kit.

Few people know this, but St. Bernard drool is a very effective quick detailer!
