What's in your boot?

Lindi - Livin' the dream :-) · October 2003

Handing me a bottle of olive oil and a couple of foot of rubber tubing the AA Man who saved me today said "you'd be amazed what you find in peoples boots!"

So... what strange collection of items do you always have to hand in the car boot?

[Deleted User] · October 2003

2 pairs of shoes

a bag of running stuff (always there just in case)

some lever arch files from work which have been in there for 8 months

a bin bag full of rubbish from when I cleaned the inside of the car out a month ago whilst in a drive through car wash

Some bits of wood which I couldn't be bothered picking out last time i went to the tip with some rotten wood out of garden

marmite
empty water bottles
something unpleasant
a tool for getting boy scouts out of horses' hooves
a wheel

[Deleted User] · October 2003

My foot, and a sock.

[Deleted User] · October 2003

Nothing, cause I don't have a car :-(

[Deleted User] · October 2003

lucky you mad kat that means you don't have to clean it then!

Lindi - Livin' the dream :-) · October 2003

Poor you Mad Kat - you can't spend your afternoons hanging round in carparks waiting for men in uniform!

oil - not the virgin olive type.
empty water bottles (i think they breed in there - there seems to be more every time i look!)
a jumper
some socks
a cycling helmet

umbrella, cargo cover, rain jackets, dirt, grime and smell (smells like cat piss for some reason but don't have a cat)

[Deleted User] · October 2003

any old went trainers in there FBF!

[Deleted User] · October 2003

Lindihopper, why would I want to do that? By the way, like your sensible running shoes.

I just bought a new (to me) car 3 months ago, so it hasn't had much chance to fill up yet. At the moment there's:

A garden fork
5 golf clubs
A pair of running shoes and socks
A road atlas
A pair of gloves

Don't get involved with the mafia or you might have to add a body to the list!

Lindi - Livin' the dream :-) · October 2003

Actually I wouldn't recommend the AA as a way to meet men - last monght I spent 3 hours being towed home and I lost count of the number of wives the guy had been through!

I find those shoes are great for ventilation.

[Deleted User] · October 2003

worse still if the AA man giving you lift had a curry last night eh Lindi?

Lindi - Livin' the dream :-) · October 2003

I might join the RAC and see if they have a better selection!

Suffolk Punch · October 2003

Just had a look last night...

1) A Barbour jacket
2) An oil can (for motor oil, not extra virgin olive oil)
3) A couple of old Gaurdian Newspapers
4) A couple of spare training manuals
5) Some whiteboard/flipchart pens

Exciting - huh?

fat face · October 2003

My boot is spotlessly clean and contains an umbrella and a 1.5miles/inch road atlas.

[Deleted User] · October 2003

No bowler hat?

WildWill · October 2003

My road bike, helmet and shoes
A spair training kit
A spair swimming kit
about 20 empty lucozade bottles (must clean them out)
and a map book

[Deleted User] · October 2003

Spare training manuals? That has to be the weirdest...

fat buddha · October 2003

SP - like it - Gaurdian newspaper!! bring back the good old days of the Grauniad smelling pistakes!

XFR Bear · October 2003

Olive oil and rubber tubing??

Now that's just kinky!

[Deleted User] · October 2003

I was at a race in the summer where the boot of the car opposite was full of clear plastic boxes. One for clean clothes, one for towels, one for dirty kit etc I had never seen anything like it.

[Deleted User] · October 2003

That Hoover has got to be the product of a deranged mind - separating your dirty clothes and clean clothes, what will these posh people do next !

Kerry2303 · October 2003

Ummmmm - not sure. I think the waterproofs and hiking boots are in there, some old newspapers, probably some empty water bottles, lots of mud, sand and other remnants of the holiday in Devon in September, a map book (at least, I can't find it in the car itself so I'm hoping it's in the boot) and a bag of stuff for Oxfam that I haven't got round to taking in yet....oh and some old tools that were in my mother-in-law's car boot (don't know why they're in ours now, we've had them about a year) and probably a spare wheel somewhere, never had to use it so I don't know....

[Deleted User] · October 2003

My boot is pristine - only containing 1 (boxed) pair of car seat protectors for when the weather is really bad when I've been running and I can use them so i don't ruin my beautiful grey leather seats. Come on now, the car's only 4 months old, give it time!

[Deleted User] · October 2003

Brolly, running kit, empty water bottle, squashed banana

[Deleted User] · October 2003

Hell, when did we last clean this mess out??

1x mini umbrella, 1x golfing umbrella, 1x standard-sized Tigger umbrella
3x Daily Mails (from June, August and yesterday)
A single airbed and pump which plugs into cigarette lighter
Picnic blanket
Patchwork quilt(!!!)
Breakdown bag with tow rope, jump leads, warning triangle, torch, screwdrivers (a relic from my very first car which broke down every other month like clockwork - the AA men in South Wales all knew me by name!!)
3x empty juice bottles
2x novels

I imagine there's a spare wheel in there too, but God knows where I'd put the rest of the junk if I ever had to change a flat tyre!!
