On the subject of toolbox contents, paracord also is very handing when camping.
A great place to stop that's not too far from Le Shuttle is Honfleur. |

Removing the viscous fan saves me from the stand 10% fuel (!). I only need the fan in summer for long, strenuous journeys, otherwise I drive 90% of the year without it. The problem is that the fan ... |
