A cheap laptop bag makes a great flattish storage case for the essential tools as it shoves nicely under the the bit behind the seats in the Fury. Its not a boot but its a good storage area.

Don't forget wet wipes always useful to have in any car, but particularly helpful when you have to rub tar off your hands after crawling about on the floor

Scanned through the list, don't think anyone's mentioned WD40. I've got a small can in my car, with the all important small red tube thingy, which has been deployed successfully to assist others'. Also got some of those latex "surgical" glove thing which just help with minimising muck for when you've fixed your problem and want to get back to driving. I also carry one of those small rechargeable power packs (and appropriate leads) so you know you've got juice for your phone should the worst happen and you need to be on the phone a lot.

And Tony you've got no excuse for not carrying all those spares, especially now you've got a boot. After all, Richard manages it, plus several varieties of kitchen sink :lol:
