Worryingly, that's almost exactly what I've got in mine except I've also got a wheelbarrow and chainsaw and the duct tape is on the back seat.

Erm... had a quick look.

2x pairs Mountain Bike Shoes (his and hers).
2x Helmets, both mine.
A length of worn climbing rope my Son brought home from his climbing lesson around Xmas time to practice knots and has never used, I sort of tell myself it would be a decent two rope, but really it's way too short.
a box of assorted screw drivers.
a bag of assorted Cat5 cables.
Some jump leads.
Allen Keys, Torx keys, track pump,
a 1/3 full bottle of Malibu.
3 Peppa Pig Books.
Roll of 3M Tartan tape.

Lots and lots of dust / powered mud.

The boot area is as clean as the rest of my cars.

The wife's CRV on the other hand is like her handbags. Full of junk, Lord knows he last time she sorted them out.

I was worrying then as it took me until page 2 for someone to say nothing. I hate clutter so all that's in my boot is spare plastic bags in the storage bin.
