I remember a thread about what to keep in your boot but I can't find it so thought I would start a new threat.

Off to Le Mans next week and wondering what Tuscan related stuff I should take with me. I've got the obvious throttle repair kit, coolant, water, tool kit, standard fuses, warning triangle but was wondering if I should have a 125A fuse, bulbs, oil etc?

What are peoples thoughts?

Got that as well mounted behind the driver seat. I'm not doing too bad by the sounds of it!

You will not break down on your Le Mans run. If you want to keep something in the boot, try the rear window and the roof (maybe on top of a tent and a sleeping bag).

Remember....you will not break down on your Le Mans run....you will not break down on your Le Mans run....you will not break down on your Le Mans run....you will not break down on your Le Mans run....

Enjoy...can't make it this year...

I'm liking your style Flat6 and Andy. I'm just paranoid about cooling problems having overheated 3 times recently - all due to an air lock in the system whicvh wasn't picked up by RG. That said Dom at Power got his hands on it a couple of weeks ago and sorted it out so fingers crossed it'll all be good

I will not break down on the Le Mans run!

What the point of a fire extingusher in the boot?!

Oil, spare throttle cable, spare fuse, warning triangle, bulbs, tyre weld, torch, AA card.

There is a thread on there somewhere.

Would not worry too much - what ever you actually end up needing you won't have thought of!

I placed a small fire Extinguisher in the passenger parcel shelf, near the main point of ignition!

The shelf is useless anyway as everything slides around in it and gets lost, which is really annoying.

A new Threat!? No need for threats, chum.

Here, have a linky instead.

Proof of ownership was something I was told was needed! whether true or not I didn't take a chance and always had a copy.
