Hey guys,
Just putting together a tool kit and a few common spares to keep in my mini and was wondering what you fellow mini owners keep in yours? Its a daily driving van that does a fair few kilometres from day to day- so its pretty important to have a good kit avaliable that doesn't take up too much room.

- just want to know what I should be keeping in her?! (that sounds a bit funny :roll: )

Thanks :D

A Bible, because you will be saying the Lord's name a few times over and over and praying for your car to work if it konks out on you.

Most people have forgotten the two most important tools to carry in the boot:

1. WD40 - For when it doesn't go and it should...

2. Gaff tape - For when it goes and it shouldn't...
