C8 Luggage Bags

Hi all,
I'm new here and new to Corvette too. I went to buy an R8 2020 5l the other week, saw a C8 near by, which i know or knew very little about (yes been busy googling ever since) and the R8 looked a bit 'ordinary'. 10 minutes later i was paying for the Vette and the deal was done. I am now the owner of a hypersonic grey 2LC and my Corvette journey has just begun - and its certainly not disappointing in the slightest.
Next step for me was to get some luggage that i could fit in the car as my 1st outing saw my small flight cases replaced with Tesco carrier bags. i couldnt get our cases in the car.
I had a google and found some Chevvy leather holdalls at £1300 a pair - so that was a no for me. I found x 2 pretty big leather holdalls (72cm wide x 30 x 32) that would fit the boot pretty well, £250 each from Lakeland Leather. The surprise and bonus here is they fit the front too. The 1st one upside down and the 2nd the right way up. i can get 4 of these in with 2 up front and 2 in the boot with matching laptop and shoulder bags - perfect fit - so thought its worth a share!

Well done/Congrats on the new car Mr Rob Walker (y) That was some day? You go out to buy a R8 and come home with a C8 (nice one :)). Thanks for the helpful tip too. TBH, there's not too much chat on here from UK C8 owners. Maybe you know this already, but Craig at Ian Allan Motors has a Facebook page for UK C8 owners:

Despite the seemingly relative rareity of the C8.......Essex region have seen quite a few attend monthly meeting and regional events!

That's one of the other joys of owning a Corvette - There are all these companies in the US. like Ecklers and Mid America Motorworks, that want to sell you all these accessories/tuning bits etc for your car.
