As the subject,what do you keep in your car for fun.
Type of car,If you cannot disclose the type,maybe the year instead.
It can be anything,just something that always stays there.

I am sure most users here will keep hats and tissue box's on the rear
parcel shelf(no pun intended)

In my 68 mazda
I keep:
230mm Angle grinder
Large set of bolt cutters
Lots of rubbish
6 litre's oil
2 litres water
Stacks of Invoices
Misc tools,leads,all scattered through the floor.

Oh.. I keep I oil front seal for a lancer CC on the rear parcel
shelf,put it there over 2 years ago.
On the dash I keep dark glasses(am as bad as those hat guy's)which I
never wear.

I try to keep what I carry around to the bare minimum - so in the
glovebox, that's Sydney and Canberra street directories, a first aid
kit, and the owner's manual for the car. In the centre console, CDs
and an E-tag. Sometimes some mints in the tray under the HVAC
controls in the dash. In the boot, a safety warning triangle and
those green bags from the supermarket. And that's it.

Duct tape for any hose failures
Box of miscellaneous tools: shifters, screwdrivers, pliers and a 12" long
1/2" drive for wheel-nuts, beats those spastic wheel-nut apanners that come
with the car.

about 2 kgs of wrapping, cardboard, ocky straps, wire and other assorted
ex-shopping garbage.

5L coolant

small floor jack in a box so it doesnt do more miles than the car flying
'round the boot.

I had an old brake drum on the rear floor of my Datsun 1600 for a few
months....
I reckon the fukkin' thing hit me in the head at least a half-dozen times as
we barrell-rolled down the Pacific Highway after I got too stoned, fell
asleep and missed a bend one night!
I think the replacement cam-chain I'd bought hit me a few times too but
Repco accepted it for a refund!

I don't have, or believe, in the concept of a parcel shelf,
not appropriate for pickup trucks.

Behind the seats of my pickup truck is recovery gear,
air compressor, first aid kit, map book, maps, work lamp
and a lot of other stuff I named in a post a year or so back
when the Q was asked (it is a very long list). My GPS broke,
so I need a new one of them :-(

On a country trip I'll also have full tool kits. (fuck I've got a
lot to do in the next few days).

It's not appropriate for bloody cars either, anything you put on there
will make an excellent flying weapon if you crash into something...

video camera,great idea,

Always a great to have video evidence..lol

I bought duct tape at the local supermarket for sealing insulation paper
on a building together,when I asked for 15m of the stuff The guy at the
market was joking,saying I had the found a large one.
Next I know he had told his work freinds and they told their friends.

Now when I go there all the middle aged females give me an evil grin.

Got to be carefull where you bye these critical supplies.

Arhh First Aid,this a a great idea,I try to keep this in my Truck,

Street directories,hmm I get lost in Launceston so street directories
don't help much,I gave up on navigation years ago.

I use my compass these days.....Next time I am in sydney it will be
obvious,actually last time I was there it was a small little town,no
idea what all the fuss there is.

230mm angle grinders are not in everyones tool box,Its why I carry
one,and I also always forget my keys at the other block,so I carry bolt
cutters.
I don't like leaving bolt cutters on my property also,however they would
not do any good,all my locks are keypass and electronic.

Locks can be pretty hard to chop,even with big bolt cutters,as $80
lockwood is not easily chopped,they have supprised me a couple times.
other than the price,keep up the good work lockwood.

Always handy to carry a brake drum and cam chain.

Yeah know the feeling,had the back side of an axe hit me in the head
when a girl drove a 90 ford panel into a tree at 80kph and bent it in half.
Being pissed and stoned is possibly the only reason one survives without
dying from sock.
