When I open landyzone a minute or two ago I think I must have gone back to the future

Not always, depends what you call "spares" the jubilee clip I was able to use to refit flexi intercooler pipe just after the turbo came in extremely useful. ;) Last Christmas up in the Yorkshire Dales.
The spare tyre too when I had that accident a few years back seeing as how the idiot who ploughed into me totally ruined the nearside rear.
Who thinks of a spare tyre as a spare nowadays?
And carrying coolant or at least water saves you having to pea in the rad! As I once had to do.
And in another incident the spare water I took with me I was able to use to put an under bonnet fire out with.
So there are three incidents I can think of.
Oh and the spare spark plug I replaced one with that I bruk putting it back in! (Kitcar club trip to France.)
In fact I have learned to take other stuff, like spare nuts and bolts.

But I get what you mean.

One of the funniest thingss I saw was a bloke on a similar kit car trip who broke his clutch cable.
"It's OK " quoth he, "I have a spare." and he did only it was for the wrong car, he managed to fit it but he ended up having to put his knee almost up to his face every time he needed to change gear. 🤣🤣🤣
I keep bits in mine
Me. I make sure every car that comes into the family fleet has one, and junk the inflation kit that comes with most cars these days.
Full size spare here too and a tyre inflator too.
 
Talking of spare wheels, does anyone else remember the days when wimmins, or at least the ones you might have fancied, were referred to as "a bit of spare"? 🤣 🤣 🤣

(My apologies in advance to all members of the female inclination who might get offended by this comment.) ;)
You wouldn't think it by lookin at her but my grand daughter can change her own wheels and has changed wheels for some of her mates in the past, I taught her well :D
