1.3metres of metal box section bar, bag of swimming pool tile cement, four floor tiles, ten rubber washers, 8 metal brackets and a bottle of water oh and a turkey chick.
Also now always carry jump leads and the mandatory TWO warning triangles and two high vis jackets and the selection of bulbs and first aid stuff.

While I was an apprentice the guy that was training me found that if you put plusgas on the wings of insects it stopped thier wings from buzzing.

I once came away from a Northamptonshire scrapyard one Sunday with a complete 4AEF engine head, two radiators, three wiper motors, a complete tow bar, two radios, an alternator, a starter motor, two carburettors, interior panels, door handles, mirrors, dozens of assorted bolts and screws, along with a windscreen, in the back of my Toyota Carina Estate.

The amazing thing was that the bloke left in charge wanted to  "fxxking go home" as I finished off stripping Toyota Carina's and Corolla's and let us drive out fully loaded without paying a bean as he "couldn't care a fxxck what we had!" ;D ;D ;D

That was the best load I had in the 'boot' ever! ;D ;)

Spare wheel, poster tubes for a recent design job I finished, loads of limestone chippings that fell out when doing me garden, old rubber floor mats from previous owner, an atlas and a load of very oily tools from my last gearbox switch cleaning mission. Time for a valet me thinks! :-[
