In "Monty" (not very original, I know...) my '94 Fairmont Ghia there is:

- Spare
- Jack, Brace etc.
- Compressor
- First Aid Kit
- St John Ambulance Safety vest
- Rural Fire Service Kit bag
- Maglite
- Fire Extinguisher
- Amp
- 6 disk changer


In "The Antichrist" (See "The Gods must be Crazy" if you don't get this) my '58 Landrover Series II there is:

- My '62 Landrover! (well, the majority of it anyway...)


I don't mind having stuff in my boot, but I HATE clutter.

in the XH - motorbike helmet, riding boots etc

in the courier - swag and camping gear

Most of you lot are missing a Euro standard hazard-warning triangle. Do not buy a mere Australian Standard unit, they are rubbish and blow out of alignment or away!

For use at crash scenes and breakdowns.

We'll not mention sfety vest, fire extinguisher, first aid kit etc.


Just how serious are we?

Sub, amp and DSP. Not much else fits.
