and thats just the trunk!!

Haha, I've a 100 pcs tool kit, 10l of water 5l oil, various spray greases, small electric gun, wire, hoses, bag of spares ( relays fuses, etc) Duct tape, cable ties, and loads more if I'm going any distance.

......but when I took my Z to southern France I took a small tool kit with some common size spanners, a small ratchet and some common size sockets + a screw driver. I never have problems with my Z and have complete confidence, so rarely have tools in it when driving in the UK or even short trips to northern France.

Oh my word, you 3 are loopy! You must have been serious Boy Scouts and I bet you're now in the military?

That's what I would class as OCD paranoia, OCP lol. Maybe I'm just naive as I only carry a jack and a bottle of foam and that's only if I'm leaving the country (along with obvious legal requirements like bulbs, hi-vis and triangle etc). Otherwise I carry whatever I have in my pocket, if I'm commuting to work I will have my leatherlady!

Lol its not like its needed all the time. They just stay there easier for when working on the car. And hey; its better to have and not need, then need and not have!! ;)

the only tool I carry in my z in the one in my pants

i Know a few zeds on this site that carry tools and have nothing in the boot:D

I've got some polishing stuff, a picnic blanket and a large hammer!

 

Heh heh - I have a picnic blanket in my Z too.....:lol:

 

Aside from the standard bits (well, the jack basically) and an extending handled wheel-brace, I just carry some detailing spray and a couple of micro-fibre cloths! I used to carry a litre of oil too; but as I've never had to top the Z up since the day I collected it, I don't remember if it's still there...

 

Richard:cool:

I have something to say............ It's better to burn out than to fade away..... :tt2:
