Re: Spares



Heh, I drive approx 50-150 miles every night just for the fun of it, 
plus the addition of driving to work each day, and up do 500 or 600 
miles on the weekends. (Can you tell I enjoy it?). Yea, always 
carry tools. As for other tools which are not so standard, bring a 
wire crimper with a set of male/female spades in ALL sizes. Also 
bring some extra relays, and a printout of the entire wiring diagram 
(with key). Also, have a FIRE EXTINGUISHER with you. I know it has 
been brought up many times before, but this should never be 
overlooked in ANY car (especially DeLorean). Get a large bottle of 
DOT-4 (GTLMA) brake fluid just in case (both clutch and brakes), and 
some extra oil. Bring extra fuses, preferably a whole fuse kit. 
Some of those 3M clips to easily connect two wires. Can you tell I'm 
electrical here? Some dry towels are also nice incase of a water 
leak or if something really needs to be cleaned up. Electrical tape 
and duct tape are also a must. I store all of this stuff in the box 
behind the driver's seat and in the spare wheel well. This stuff has 
saved my butt on a few occasions. But I personally believe my car 
has treated me very well. I am also interested in what other people 
have in their emergency kits. With my first huge roadtrip coming up 
in a month (Minnesota, to Houston, to Tennessee, then back to MN) I 
want to make sure my car and I are ready.
