A pair of hiking boots (no real reason...)
A small can of oil in case I get low away from home (RX8 )
A Renault branded golf umbrella which hasn't been used in years...

Whatever came from the factory in the spare wheel well.

In winter a tow rope may be added, since I live rurally in northern Scotland.

For 99.9% of people, all this crap being posted above is just ballast, space consumption and noise generation.

I don't even carry all that st in my TVR.

Cree LED Torch
Batteries for camera + torch
Folding camping chair
At least 1 bottle of drink
Full set of bulbs
2 litres of oil
A big Tarp and rope

That's so fking rapey.

[Alex_225]

Not much to be honest. Microfibre and glass cleaner, in the tire well I have a 12v tire pump and that's about it really. That's in the E class, in the CLS I don't have anything other than the standard tire pump it came with.

I'm quite minimalist with anything in my car to be honest.

[Tinkshusband]

kept in the car: 12/240v inverter, lifehammer, cheapo multitool, tyre inflator, jump leads , at least two sets of spare bulbs, torch, headtorch, can of tyreweld ( we have a full size spare but you can never be too prepared - also could help others to get back on the road) mini first aid kit, 2x usb phone chargers - on in front one in boot. Thats as well as the standard stuff like alloy wheel key , jack , wheelbrace ( keep intending to replace that with a telescopic one but never get round to it.) jack etc. need to get a warning triangle at some point - and maybe some hivis jackets.

[robinessex]

The wife. She's not happy about it though.

[fooby]

A vast amount of dog hair. Plus some jump leads and a tow strap just in case, along with a 5L bottle of water and spare bulbs.

Ditto. Absolutely nothing, can't bare things sliding about, spoils the stripes hoovered into the boot carpet.

Just the factory stuff under the boot floor, all new and never been used.

My microfibre cloth and interior dusting brush stays in the centre console so I can have a quick dust when traffic jams permit

Having things rolling around does my head in. All I have in the boot is oil that's velcro'd to the side.

Why? Do you have a very unreliable car or no shed /garage at home?

I bet poor old Jack is pissed off being carried around in the boot with that lot.
