Be First on Your Block: the Tyre Bag

[Alaskossie]

As some of you know, I own what might politely be called a "fully-accessorized" Seven (aka the Executive Superlight).

 

Well, I'm apparently the first in USA (and perhaps on the entire Continent), to acquire a Seven Tyre Bag. Stuart Golding of the Warwickshire 7s Club in UK makes these up.

 

If you properly carry a tail-mounted spare tire on your Seven-type car (as I do), you may have sometimes looked at the empty circular space that the spare wheel encloses (pierced by the tire mounting rod), and wondered if it could somehow be put to good use.

 

Apparently Stuart and I were thinking along parallel lines, because he has designed and produced a round, heavy-duty nylon bag (essentially a big donut with a tube in the center), with a zipper closure. He makes them in 13-inch and 15-inch sizes, depending on your wheel diameter. See photo attached.

 

I think it may be the perfect place to carry Seven-cleaning bits like a sponge, chamois, mesh bug sponge, a few small terry towels, and perhaps a small collapsible canvas bucket.

 

Stuart's Tyre Bag sells for £33.00, and is available from 7bags@stuartgolding.co.uk.

 

Those of you who run with no spare are simply out of luck here....
