Just got to thinking that I do carry a lot of things in my car just in case!

In the boot I always have a coat, a hat, sometimes an extra pair of shoes, an umbrella,a map and of course a small selection of tools.

Why I take the tools I do not know. :dunno:

I am sure that I will not ever use them. :shake:

After all I have this in the boot as well...............

in the boot i have a umbrella, my pool cue, my bike jacket (no bike mights well use it to keep warm in case i break down lol)

under the bonnet i have a set of jump leads, a tow rope and a 5 liter petrol container

i guess i should take tools with me incase something breaks but i figure if its something bad enough for me to need tools A: i'll probably be missing the tool i need and B: it'll probably be too serious to fix at the side of the road anyway lol

No, its to throw at people during road rage.

Actually, quite a few roadside repairs can be made easier, even taking a wheel off. When I got my F it had been sat in a garage for long time all the wheels where rusted on. If i'd of got a puncture I wouldnt be able to have changed it!
