Default 12 litres

If you had 6 2 litre tanks in your car, with a choice of pump or screw lid.
What 6 liquids would you carry?

Robinson's Old Tom, Adnam's Broadside, Marston's Owd Roger, Monkey Shoulder scotch, Jack Daniels and a nice Bushmill's malt

I'm assuming that's not what you were thinking of, though

Maybe not, but it could be the start of a long and potentially more interesting thread

So tricky to decide....
You see, there are 8 single malt distilleries on Islay, and I visited them all after the Tyndrum meet.

I never set and rules or restrictions on the fluids.

I'm going to build 6 fluid containers for the boot. Finishing off an old project from the A4 that I never finished.

I could never make my mind up of what to put in containers.

Started off with oil, screenwash, coolant, surface cleaner for the little accidents and then moved on to cider, gin, tonic.
Not a fan of whisky that much (Grandad had some 55 year old whisky which was lovely) so never thought of that.

But I am open to suggestions, so thought is see what others would suggest. Seriously or not.

I hope you're all happy.

At least two will be drinks and one will be alcoholic.

The design has been sent away to my friend, I just need to find a suitable screw top.
On to the 2nd half of this build.

roberto, number 2 would take to long to get at. So I keep it in the arm rest at all time.......Front and rear.
