Look at what the mailman brought me today!

Our very own JerseyGirl made this fantastic spare tire bag for me. I supplied the dimensions of the full-sized spare and asked a couple of questions - and she was very prompt in her responses. When there was a short delay because some of the letters weren’t in stock Robyn kept me up to date on the progress. I also had her make a standard space-saver spare tire bag. Both bags are constructed of medium weight canvas and a heavy duty zipper. All seams, and the zipper, are double stitched (like a pair of Levi’s) so the bags should be quite durable.

I’m pleased and satisfied with the BagLady’s products and service - my highest recommendation for her!



One side…...



…...and the other side.

Before anybody asks, the space-saver is for local use where I can limp back home. The full-size is for over the road trips so I don’t have to let the gas-station Gomer mess with my expensive wheels and tires.

The space-saver sized bag was $56.50 and the full sized bag was $72.50 - mailing included. BagLady’s web site has the exact prices and options, but today it’s down for upgrade.

I’m gonna have her make me another bag to carry empty in my Z3 to keep from getting the trunk dirty if I have to use its space-saver spare.

Nick,

Glad they got there safe and sound, if not a bit wrinkled from being in the box.

To answer that question, the smiley face added $7.00 and each letter added $1.50. :smile:
