you all forgot to add fuel, carrying around all that rubbish is going to burn more fuel, so you will need extra to compensate, i just carry my RAC card, its far cheaper than the extra fuel comsumed as the discount you get from year to year for No claims is less than signing as a new customer through topcashback!!

the issue is also concerning driving abroad - perhaps in a remote area of scotland where resuce services cant reach you after breaking down. Maybe even in an area where cell phone coverage doesnt exist. (ive added satellite phone)

I suggest you empty the boot and replace the contents with a TARDIS

Simples

hewhoisnotintheknow

as a former vw owner, i carried a folding bike in the boot, along with sweets and drinks, the bike did many miles due to the bloody vw build quality

hothothot_3

folding bike added.........have also included UHF/VHF Radio Scanner (if car radio works - can be used to tune into either local radio or emergency services)

Forgot to add, a half decent knife, and a machete for the jungle. And now that I think about it, since we are going to extremes, a good rifle and scope, in a medium calibre. For hunting your own food, and protection in the wilderness..... and Easterhouse

I can't believe I forgot to include a tow rope, jump leads and para cord.
