    It's weird what some car manufacturers supply !

    I've just been clearing some cr@p out of my saaaab, before it goes, & found a couple of weird items!

    I know mitsi supply distress flares with VR4's.... But saaaab supply there own branded dash board wipes, & a large cloth bag for putting your punctured tyre in so it doesn't dirty the boot !!

    Why ????

    So that you can wipe the dash and keep the boot clean?

    I still have the flare...

    Perhaps we need to arrange an organised setting off of the ones we have, and video it - maybe at JapFest! Although I think 14-year-old flares will be a bit of a disappointment!!

    I always love how well equipped the 5 series and the 8 series, with their built in rechargable glovebox torches, an actual tool kit with screwdriver and spanners, everything you need to do remedial repairs on the side of the road.
