A wide selection of carpentry tools.
a jack and wheel brace, no spare wheel tho lol
And nowt else in my boot. Behind the drivers seat there is a couple of sockets and spanners.

i will have all my electrical tools in mine when i finish it, pass and insure it lol
lol, i carry my scrap yard tool bag, which contains all the vital stuff, a large arrangement of sockets, including 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch, screw drivers all important hammer, breaker bar and then one spanner of each common size and mole grips. o and then i have the normal jump leads, tow rope, standard jack about it i think
