MarcM Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 This is the thread where you disclose to SF what you have in your car's trunk (boot in the UK.) I have a Thomas Guide map book, a first aid kit, an old pair of boots and a "raid" jacket.
daslied Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 3 guitars, amp, mic stands and whole bunch of books. And some remains.
Ken Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 Absolutely and completely nothing. Clean as a whistle. Ken.
miamisammy29 Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 A prosciutto, a half-bottle of tequila, and a 48-pack of condoms.....and I think there's a spare tire in there somewhere.
Tenacious_Peaches Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 A stroller, 300 toddler toys, a bunch of stuff I couldn't sell at a yard sale I had a couple months ago, and some tools to fix the car in case of emergency that I will never use.
Earth-Angel Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 I don't have my own car in the UK, but back home my little Harrison's boot contains: Jumper cables A jack and set of tools for changing tires and emergencies in a roll up toolkit A small blanket A small can of Motor oil 1l bottle of distilled water for the radiator and battery cells A small paintbrush to clean any acid off the battery (I usually just put vaseline on the clamps though) A compact umbrella A mapbook A spare tyre (fully inflated every time I do my other tyres) A ciphon for petrol I have plastic sheeting covering the carpeting in case something spills or for emergeicies A reflective triangle sign A small cooler box for frozen food (ice cream ) after shopping A fold-up seat I also think there is a flashlight in there. The majority I keep in the panels next to the tyre, the rest are in a small box to the side and really takes up no space at all.
Uncle Joe Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 Peanuts. Oh, the car trunk? A beach chair. Window washer fluid. An ice scraper. Paper bags for when we go to BJ's.
MarcM Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Posted October 24, 2005 Wow, Sue, you are very organized! I would have been surprised if you were not, though.
Earth-Angel Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 Thing is back home, traffic can be really crazy and things are so far apart - you don't want to break down in and not be able to fend for yourself. I also know how the weather can change, as can plans so sometimes I keep a little overnight bag in there too with a change of clothes, toiletries and a costume.
MarcM Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Posted October 24, 2005 A costume?! Boy, you really are prepared!
Earth-Angel Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 Hey, I live by the beach in a hot country - it's all about the midnight swims and beach/pool parties!
MarcM Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Posted October 24, 2005 Oh, OK. That makes sense. Here in the US, we call those bathing suits. I was picturing you rolling around with a French maid or nun outfit in the trunk. Funny how the same word can mean totally different things!
Earth-Angel Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 Well, I might have one of those kinda costumes too...for a surprise fancy dress party or something... Just kidding!
Uncle Joe Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 A costume? For swimming? Brilliant!!
Batman Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 Well, I don't have a car, I drive my mom's car...but I don't think she has anything in her trunk.
DiggsUK Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 A water bottle, two cardboard boxes and a piece of branch at last count. Oh, probably a plastic dinosaur too. Regards
bluesboy Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 Spare tire, jack, lugnut wrench, just the usual.
Shawna Posted October 24, 2005 Report Posted October 24, 2005 A beach chair. An ice scraper. Is the ice scraper so you can scrape the ice off the sand at the beach to use your beach chair? I drive a trunkless truck.
RonJonSurfer Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Remember that guy that borrowed $1000 from me and didn't pay back fast enough...he's in my trunk.
MarcM Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Posted October 25, 2005 Do you, per chance, drive a Lincoln Town Car, Ron?
edna Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 I have nothing but my husband has got plenty of things which I couldn´t describe... and mainly all his fishing rods and all the stuff to go fishing, which he did maybe twice in the last ten years.
RonJonSurfer Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Do you, per chance, drive a Lincoln Town Car, Ron? Nice imagery....
Sarah_Star Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 At the moment I have the entire belongings of a 14 year old boy because I'm trying to find him a new home. Oh, and an awful lot of tat left over from when I moved house last year. And a flat tyre...
Uncle Joe Posted October 25, 2005 Report Posted October 25, 2005 Sarah, there are other ways of dealing with a 14 year old brother.
