I have driven lots of weird old cars daily over the years, mostly Italian and German, with a little English and French for good measure. I have a firm policy: I carry only the factory tool kit and no spares. If the car knows I have faith in it, it won't break. Crazy, but it works. I also keep my stuff maintained.

Back when I lived in Colorado, my Fiat broke it's clutch cable one day when I was up in Coal Creek Canyon. Limped it home 20 miles with no clutch. Last time before that was a fuel pump that gave up the ghost on my Dad's old Mazda pickup. That was about 1993.
