Road trip tools
Wife and I are driving up to Tail of the dragon this weekend and I'm making a take along tool kit. What would you add:
Screwdrivers-2
Vice grips
Needle nose pliers
Multimeter
Contact cleaner
W-D 40
Electric tape
Duct tape
Detail spray/micro fiber towel (photo ops)
Lap top for CF conference- advice
Don't plan to change alternator, just clean grounds etc. Got run flats, & AAA

Don't forget to carry a qt. of Mobil One, just in case. Mine came in handy a couple of weeks ago on a club road trip on the Cape. Another member got a "low oil" reading and a check showed he was down all of a quart.

Really good time to go up on 129 since the crowds have subsided by now. Upon our arrival a few weeks ago, late on a Friday, we discovered we had lost a 4157 bulb (running light/turn signal). Had to wait until Monday for NAPA to open in Robbinsville. Then found out my arm wouldn't go through the brake vent, borrowed socket set from Miata friend, went in from the bottom. First thing I did when we got back was get a spare 4157 and a metric socket for the tool wrap. Be sure to take plenty of warm clothes.
