Blimey, I ordered these on Monday (since they even had a set for 'verts). I wasn't going to tell you about them since you have that unionjackitis disease. I was just trying to save you some money. Perhaps you should seek professional help.

Thanks MiniMaybee for caring more about my mental and financial health than that bad influence bamatt.

Let me know how they look / feel when you get them - I'd love to know if they're worth the money quality-wise. If so, I'll pony up...

And when you get them, you gotta post about them on the Jack-ification thread...

Yes MiniMaybee please post your opinions when you get them as I am interested in a set of checkered ones.

I may be a bad influence on you Blimey but be honest should we not place the blame on Neverfifty for starting this dang thread & making me go find these dang mats & ultimately wanting a dang set for myself now

Cheers to that! I'm expecting them 2/26.
Bad, bad, wicked bamatt.
Edit: and bad, bad, wicked Neverfifty too!
Edit Edit: I bought them for car shows. I have a set of coco mats for the summer and rubber mats for the winter.

You could always put some of that clear plastic over them like my grandma had on her sofa...

Get a Little Green Machine type carpet cleaner or something like that - That plus oxyclean should do...

If I get a set, I'll only use them in dry weather for show - I'll use my rubber mats when in doubt... cause, yeah, white plus Carolina Red Clay doesn't work too well...

Isn't that disrespectful of the Union Jack? I wouldn't want Old Glory floormats, would you?

I don't think it's disrespectful since it's not an actual flag or a mat made from an actual flag that you are resting your feet on but if anyone does think it's disrespectful then I wouldn't recommend that they purchase a set

Egads
I hope the NASCAR folks won't think I am dissing them if I get a checkered set

Yes I found the Amazon Site right after I made this post. It will be interesting to find out how you all like them. I thought it was neat that you got all 5 mats for the money. My husband thinks I have lost my mind.

This is just so wrong...

Just my two-hundreths of a buck.

Yeah, as long as they're not steaming piles of dog poo I'll probably end up with a set...

Just a quick bump to let everyone know that the mats have yet to arrive. In fact I got an email from Amazon yesterday saying they were just shipped. I guess they won't be here till later this week, possibly Friday or Saturday. Regular USPS shipping = slow.
