My boot is pretty sparse, some spare fabric shopping bags, and umbrella, tools are under the cover with the spare tyre other than the air pump which is in the boot. The wife's boot is so jampacked the kids can barely get their school bags in. Most of it is tupperware that she sells. She keeps various demo bags and obviously orders for delivery in the boot.

I drive a Kia Picanto, you'd struggle to fit the body of a chopped up toddler in there. The only thing in my boot when my laptop bag and handbag aren't in it, is the hazard warning triangle that came with the car.
You must not be one of those high heeled women. Cause the ones I know have several pairs of the stuff in the boot with the back seat used for overflow.

Nah I'm a Dickie's/Converse/Levi's woman, high heels for torture weddings only.

It contains a Renault car care kit. :)

I've added a can of tire sealant to the kit. I don't want to get caught with a flat and having to change it.

I drive a bakkie that has a Tonneau on, tail gate can't lock. On the backie at all time is a Gedore toolbox, 105Ah battery, jumper cables, Bosch cordless drill, boxes full of electrical material. Been doing it for over 10 years and have not lost a single thing. Oh and I live in Joburg......

Mine is always neat. Spare tyre and a bunch of tools and things (jumper cables, gloves, towels, tow rope) under the floor mat, and toolbox neatly on top. I have a "boot organiser" in the boot, which I use to keep things like stuff I need from work, a 4-way wheel spanner, etc., basically stuff I don't want lying loose.

I have often wondered how some peoples car boots get into such a state. This is old and new cars. I buy and sell a lot so when people come to get something I usually get to see the boot which is either is a state and jam packed with junk and the spare tyre which has not been returned to its place. Some boots are like a tool box, some are storage with shoes, clothes sports equipment and some are just downright disgusting with dried out Mc D fries and old banana skins and a old foul smelling stain which I assume was yogurt or milk.
Even though my car is 22 years old, the boot is spotless and totally empty.

9 traffic cones, 1 PEP blacket, 2 little fleece blankets, 12 000mah power bank/car jumpstarter, 4 x LED traingular warning things, full size umbrella, tow rope, various car fuses, 4-way wheel spanner, Hi-vis orange rain proof insulated jacket, navy rainsuit with reflective strips, 2 x 1.5 bottles of water, red and white plastic marking tape, shifting spanner, some AA batteries, some tyre sealant/inflate bottle.

The vehicles standard jack, wheel spanner, warning triangle and the spare wheel.
