Why the tools?  You've got a complete spare in this case!  ;-)


I've driven ~500,000 miles in four buses since 1964 with pretty much
only the factory supplied toolkit.  On the other hand, I don't
gamble in casinos.  Only one breakdown has aborted a trip and that
was sixty miles from home and we limped back with some wire holding
the shift linkage onto the tranny.


Lately I've started to carry a small collection of basic tools.  That
started after I bought a Ford!
