Default CMP Road Trips

Good morning all (evening in Oz),

I thought this thread might be of interest to those relatively new to the CMP Madness who might be contemplating lengthy road trips to get to shows, parades etc (as opposed to trailering their beasties).

For those who do/have done this in past -- what tools, spares and supplies has experience proven you should take on a 'Murphy's Law' basis? Enough to undertake a minor rebuild on the side of the road, or is there a basic collection/set of spares (electrical, fuel supply etc) which is always squirreled away? Do you get into more complex stuff like clutches, universal joints etc?

Be specific as to Ford or Chev and please note your past experiences with reference to vehicle size. And what's the maximum distance you've driven yours in past? Terrain? What's now become your 'normal' maximum distance?

Finally, what are some of the adventures you've had enroute?

Have at it, lads.
