Bath sheet / towel...incase I need to get under the car, and folded up it's a good cushion. Tow hook, anti-theft wheel nut tool, and a can of "TTyre-Weld". A foam rubber tube for the rear window fold for top down cruisin'. All in the boot.
Rear center storage:- OEM aerial for out of stubby range reception, digital tyre pressure guage (I don't trust the gas station guages), Box of tissues, canister of "Wet-Wipes" - lemon scented - Golf Cap for protection from the African sun, Microfibre cloth for general interior dash etc maintenance / dusting, coins in the coin box for the ubiquitous beggars at traffic lights, driving gloves in the glovebox for winter top down driving, sunglasses and case, in-car cam USB cable and cam, mini travel toothbrush and toothpaste...for after action mouth refreshment, Mini swiss army knife with basic manicure accessories...gotta clean fingernails after poking about in the engine etc. Mini leatherman tool in leather case, and a partridge in a Z3.... :D

Tyre inflator (more for the frog, but it lives in the zed)
Extension cable for above
Tyre pressure gauge and tread depth gauge
First aid kit and small box of plasters (saves running into the house dripping blood)
Fire extinguisher
Spare headlight bulbs
Torch (for when I run out of headlight bulbs)
Deicer and lock-deicer
Scraper
Couple of cloths
Carrier bags (always come in handy)
Snow socks (in winter)
Waterproof jacket
Pen and notebook
Wedding ribbon (still in there from a friends wedding - over 10 years ago)

The frog also has a selection of goodies, including a jerry can, full set of imperial spanners plus a few other tools, rubber mallet (for the spinners, but also useful for tent pegs), foot pump (compressor takes too much juice), tow rope, jump leads, another fire extinguisher...

Cheers R.

This is what happens when you apply too much lemon scent to your golf cap...

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..

Isn't it just so true...a top down drive does lift the spirits some. Blows the office webs away and relaxes mind, body and all the other stuff we accumulate through the day.... :wink:

Must say, in 13 years, I've only ever used the wheel spanner, jack and anti-theft wheel nut thingy...and only to access the areas behind the wheel for changing break pads & discs.

This winter- a fleece blanket for my wife's legs, sweets, a beanie hat with a peak on it, gloves I can drive in, more sweets, a neck warmer, even more sweets, a couple of quid for parking, a map I never use, micro fibre cleaning cloths, empty sweet wrappers, umbrella, wind cheater - looking forward to emptying most of that (not the wife's legs though!) for the summer although I suspect I'll only manage to off load the empty sweet wrappers.
