Default What do you keep in your car?

Just wondering what you guys always keep in your car?

In the boot I have a coat and an old bed sheet incase I pick up anything dirty, glovebox has a menu for the local takeaway (), a locking wheel nut key and a phone charger, door pockets have got a drink of water and a few bits of change!

Tho only addition to the boot soon will be a first aid kit, have done a first aid course recently and its a bit of an eye opener just how important it is to carry a few basic things with you to save someone's life in case the worst happens!

So come on then, whats in yours
