Got me flip flops, shorts and sun block.....that was the easy bit. Off to Italy (Lake Garda) in a few days. The reason I'm asking what to take is that we're driving there in the 21 year old P38 4.6. Now, I don't need to take a spare engine as this one's only done 176,000 miles, so only just run in. Obviously I've wiped the outside of the oil filter with a damp cloth, spat in the coolant tank, and given the spark plugs a quick smack with a hammer - so fully serviced. Here's what I've packed so far;
Spare battery
Full set of coolant/heater hoses
Serpentine belt
Thermostat
Belt tensioner
Eas pump
Spare Eas valve block
Eas pipe and joiners
Emergency Eas push on valves
Lap top with Eas software
Duck tape
Tool kit
Socket set
2 bottles of K seal
Lucky heather

Now. Have I forgotten anything? Advice from other cross Europe adventurers appreciated.
 
Yellow vest to redirect any stray refugee. Tin hat for any active earthquakes and volcanoes present. Packet of Condoms for those you never know moments;). Spare pair of worn out underpants to wipe the condensation off. A rubber ring for bad Spag Bogs. Toothbrush flannel soap and a chippy whistle when conviction for running naked through the plaza and widdling in the fountain for a bet.:D
 
Insect repellent. We camped at Lake Garda six years ago and there's some proper meat eaters by the lake. You don't see them, but it like being visited by a winged alligator.

Thankfully never been to Europe but during yooooof years in the RAF been sent to Falklands and opening your kit bag to find something missing e.g. a boot or underpants. Or Mozzy spray in Belize:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
 
Radio Luxembourg still broadcasting send photos. When I get older around 90 odd and mentally infirm, I would like to visit France especially their coastal resorts.:rolleyes:

Just thinking that, if you buy several Ultra Super Strength version and inflate them fully while bobbing in Lake Garda will the police look on you kindly or burst them.o_O:p
 
Serious about insect repellent though. We're blood donors and the nurses get very twitchy when we declare we've been to Italy. Western Isle virus, you get it off those big, f@ck off, winged alligators :eek::rolleyes:

Not sure we'll have room after packing the P38 spares. I have changed the pollen filters, and I can smear myself with silicone grease.
