Sadly I'm without a Mog on the road at the moment. :(

When using one though, I carry a few tools, small trolley jack, starting handle, footpump, jump leads, petrol can and a spare fuel pump.

Ive never needed any of it though!

Err.. at the moment it has no boot 'door' so is just open to fresh air so..

A load of leaves.
Some cool spiders
A stack of plastic bread trays
Some garden twig cutters (cant remember the proper name)
Some laminated 'get lost' signs for the company car park.

None of the above was actually put there by me but the car has remained stationary long enough its at the stage where its become a dumping ground. Stage 2 is when it becomes nuisance; 3 a defining local landmark. :lol:
