Default Preparing for a long trip...

Today, at 9pm EET, I am driving my S to Corfu to meet up with 17-ish members of the MR2 owners club from the UK and Greece, 15 in MR2s, 1 in a 350Z, and 1 in a Merc SLK, oh yeh, and my good friend is coming too with his Audi A3 1.8t.

Obviously we'll be doing a fair bit of driving and the trip itself is not a short one.

Needless to say, I'm going to carefully check all fluids and oils, etc... Is there anything else, not so obvious that I might be forgetting, or not aware of, that would be worth doing in preparation for the trip (I haven't got time to make a sticker saying 'S2k>MR2' for my wind-breaker, unfortunately. Hehehehe)?

Tires, check them thoroughly and do it at every stop.

usually people forget to bring a simple towel or something..
just keep a towel in the trunk..
make sure the spare (if you have it) has air..
