Mobile phone.
:D

I guess if you wanted though, you could carry tape, wd40, water, oil, screwdrivers, 1/2in ring spanner, jumper cables and some rags.

Or you could be like some people on here and carry essentially a whole engine less the block with you! :lol:

tackle box .

I didnt carry anything in my boot.
Sods law states that no matter how much you carry the thing that breaks will be the one thing you didn't have the parts for.
