She finally arrived ! What a dream. Only got to put around 40 miles on her as I still had to work, but the smile was plastered on my face the entire time.

I have some newbie questions and you lot were amazing in my queries regarding insurance and emblems (which for now i've decided to forgo), so I have another:

Please keep in mind this is my first vintage and I'm not much of a mechanic.

I'd like to amass a small functional emergency kit that lives in the trunk. I've found great resources while searching this forum, but cannot find which fuses I need to purchase or size of the fan belt (just in case). It is a 2023 Vintage Motorcars Speedster. I can always ask Greg, but figure i'd pose the question here. I've come to understand that spare fuses are a MUST.

Please note that as of now, anything more than fuses, tires, etc is beyond my knowledge. I'd be ordering a tow. Hoping to change that gradually as I learn the car, read books, and start my educational journey into fixing cars.

So far, in a small roll up, i've got: wrenches (10-19mm, duct tape, mm socket set, zip ties, gloves, flashers, folded lit triangle, tire goo and mini electric pump).

Anything that I'm missing that you've been without when needed? Other than a cell phone and Hagerty Roadside Service on speed dial

Once again, thank you all for being a great resource for a total newbie.

Penny says "hi."
