What have you people stuffed into your Wedges when it comes to spare parts etc (like the above) AND what tools? As precise as
possible please. (And! What, if anything, have ever come to use for your own or someone elses car? - But please; along the road,
not at home...)
I promised to come back with my own list when I'd figured out what all the different tools were called in a more Internationally
useful language than Swedish... [:D] Well, I've given that up now, the terminology is bewildering (and I'm not at all helped by the
fact the english speaking world is once again divided by its common language!)... So; I took a picture of (most of) the tools:
Most of these are stored inside the spare rim..
Apart from the tools in the picture above there's a tow rope and a jumper cable down in the left side wing pocket, a spare-wheel-
in-a-can down in the right side wing pocket, a poly-Vee belt around the spare wheel, the OEM jack and a collapsible wheel nut
wrench on the spare wheel, a warning triangle alongside the battery, a 4kg Halon fire extinguisher in the boot (plus one 1.5kg
Halon extinguisher under the drivers knees), a plastic funnel (for spill free fuel and oil fills), a 5 litre Jerrycan of fuel, a first aid kit +
a metallised-back picnic blanket + a 7*50 waterproof and floating binoculars on top of the battery 'box' - and on longer trips;
a Mauser 6.5*55 carbine with two clips of HollowPoint and two clips of FMJ (since you never know what you might/can get in its
cross hairs...). That's about it as far as I remember... But I'm sure I've forgotten lots of stuff [:I]
The box between the seats houses two FlexiCups and two titanium LMF Sporks. And some paper towels...

Several of the tools have come to use to help others at various gatherings (and along the road) but for my own '8 I've so far only
needed to use the multimeter and its accessories when fault finding that crapped out 1/4" connector on the ignition coil giving
an intermittently dead engine. First time was on a heavily trafficated autobahn. Not fun... [:(]
