Essentials - what are the must haves in your car

Firstly, long story short my CP popped off lastnight while drive back from OP road. Luckily @_ink had all the tools in the trade to fix on the go kinda like a mobile NRMA roadside assistance, with surgical gloves, handwipes and tools.

What do you carry?

Me well,

- Tictaks
- Handwipes
- Tissues
- Gum/mints
- Hand Sanitiser
- Spare fuses
- Small little ratchet set
- LED torch (which I couldn't use lastnight flat battery, intended to buy another with USB charger input)

I used to use the space under the boot to store stuff.

I had a random collection of things which sparked much interest when people saw it.

- Rubber + disposable gloves
- Sandwich bags + plastic bags
- Cable ties
- Straws
- Screwdriver
- Scissors
- Pen/Marker
- Blutak
- Chux
- Tissues
- Torch
- Cups
- Forks

and also had a puncture repair kit

Yep had all those under the boot floor lol
