Now we all have some stock items

Spare tyre, mini jack.

But what else?

Personally I keep a hardcore first aid pack, water, a few survival items: Good hunting knives (legal), mini fishing rods,lures, 2 lots of water. A good emergency tool kit, mutlie meter, Blankets, Batteries, Torche. A secondary jack (Good big one) a "cross" lug nut changer to fit all cars

I grew up in the bush/desert so i know some of these have no place in a city car... but old habbits eh

What is an illegal hunting knife? Serious question because I don't know.

My Soarer also came with a wheel chock, a fold-out metal thing.

Hey man, I just figured out how to drop your quarte mile time by a second and lower your fuel consumption.

I have none of that: no wiring, carpet, panelling, tools, tyres, sound deadener, speakers.

All I have is the brake lights, fuel tank and heaps of dust from Wakefield...

It would seem that some cars came with one chock whilst others came with two and had a wider assortment of tools. Still not sure what the distinction was.

I have a plastic box which is bungied to the funny little strap on the left hand side, in it I keep all manner of bottled crap, including CRC, brake fluid, transmission fluid, oil, water, spare bulbs (you can tell I used to own a British Leyland car huh?), jumper leads, t-bar wheel brace, rags, more bungie cords, and some old supermarket receipts for some reason!

Other than that, the usual, factory jack, factory toolkit including the useless chock, space saver wheel etc.

Now reusable supermarket bags have become compulsory in NZ I also carry a couple of those with me.

Also a little sony amp hidden where the factory amp used to be.

Other than that just my gym bag and more often than not my work laptop.
