A set of tire plugs with a T-Grip handle. Best $10 bucks I ever spent. A compressor and a flashlight. Nothing like a flat in the middle of nowhere and $10 worth of plugs to get you back on the road without even taking off the tire. Be safe.

Rennlist members phone numbers on your route so in case you don't have something, a phone call on a cell, might get you out of a bind.

I travel with my 951 quite often and far. Here's what I usually bring with me:

Factory toolkit - Quite useful suprisingly
Fix a flat, tire hole repair kit, and 12v air compresor.
JB Weld!!!!
Duct tape, vice grips, robo-grip pliers
Small bundle of 14g wire
1 qt oil
1 Gallon Water
Cheap metric toolkit from Harbor Frieght
A few shop rags - Don't forget these! More useful to have then you might think.

The t-handle tire-plug set and a AAA card would be my choice! No kidding, oil, a few tools, and some of the other stuff mentioned here are no brainers; but a PCA member list, a AAA card and a working mobile phone are going to get you out of most issues a lot faster...

My one add is a coat hanger.

Makes great raw material from which to fabricate everything from muffler hangers to circlips (recent experience with this one).

Two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.

Watch out for those bats.

Is that for a "weekend trip?" Or, a "long strange strip?" I think the latter... are you in the ATL area? Sounds like fun... then the "re-hab" trip of course!

Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. A normal speeder will panic and immediately pull over to the side. This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop heart. Make the bastard chase you. He will follow. But he won't know what to make of your blinker signal that says you are about to turn right. This is to let him know you're pulling off for a proper place to talk. It will take him a moment to realize that he's about to make a 180 degree turn at speed, but you will be ready for it. Brace for the g's, and fast heel-toe work.

this is a very good idea.

I think I might need to do the very same thing.

How long could we maintain? I wondered. How long until one of us starts raving and jabbering at this boy? What will he think then? This same lonely desert was the last known home of the Manson family; will he make that grim connection when my attorney starts screaming about bats and huge manta rays coming down on the car? If so, well, we'll just have to cut his head off and bury him somewhere, 'cause it goes without saying that we can't turn him loose. He'd report us at once to some kind of outback **** law enforcement agency and they'll run us down like dogs. Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?

Better leave the Ether at home....if not, at least bring a shovel.
