Yes, fascinating isn't it.

The posh set-up in the back of those Bentleys on the footballer thread would be useless to me...

Where am I going to let my camelbak go mouldy?
Where's the space for several different pairs of bike shoes and helmets?
What about my left climbing boot and what seems like hundreds of empty bottles?
Never mind all the little odds and sods, lights, parts dirty cycling kit. Or the bike.

I imagine there are a fair few clean freaks though...

The the cubby thingy is the allow wheel key, some ratchet tie down straps, a smallish tool kit, a couple of small things that I don't really know what they are for and probably some food that's spilled out of a bag from a sainsbury's run

When I worked in a garage we would always play guess what's in the boot.
You could always bank on a tartan rug,umbrella and a pair of shoes.
We had one once that was absolutely rammed full of porn.

Front boot has all the important stuff (spare wheel, jack, booster cables, rope, etc...)

Rear boot gets emptied and hoovered every Sunday after biking so currently nothing.
