You do what
Why not just stop and get a drink, i agree with Suba here, why on earth anyone ever would need a cup holder is beyond me. In 10+ years of driving, I don't think I have ever had or needed a drink whilst driving and if I ever did, I would stop at a service station

I think a set of optics attached to the centre console and a few shot glasses in place of the centre airvents would be a grand addition to any coop, help you forget about the worries of belt driven cams
And you finaly have a use for the Zender spoiler... as a bar

The reason i cant stop for a drink everytime i need one is i would be forever stopping, and waste extra fuel The camel back holds 1.5litres of what ever i want and i can chuck some ice in there for the summer months and it keeps a drink ice cold for about 2.5hrs and means i dont have to take my hands off the wheel to havea drink from it. Kinda similar to what u can sometimes see F1 drivers using while on the line before everyone scarppers

LOL @ Suba, I can usually hold it in for a fair bit longer than that to make the most of the stops anyway I cant stay sat down too long anyway in any car unless i fall asleep as i get massive pains in my right thigh and need to stretch it off in order t get rid of it and cant stretch off muscles in the coop while driving

....and a hat with some kind of spirit level in it that activates a small rubber mallet when your head starts to loll about - a short, sharp tap on the noggin should be sufficient to wake you up. Not sure what to do about your leg - but we have a good base to start a coop survival kit with already.

I have something from V.A.G attached to the centerconsole. Don't really know how to buy it, it's done by the previous owner. I really like it; I like coffee and I drive far. http://sfk.ibk.se/depa/showfile.php?carpic_no=837&type=picture(beside the gearshift)

that looks pretty cool per, and i am lovin those seats shame they are not leather but i bet they are comfy. is there any make or model number on the cup holder? someing there would be ideal for me and that looks very discreat. the reason i want a cup holder is to hold drinks in...ok lets say you went to kfc drive thru and you get a meal you get a bag with the chicken/chips and u get a stupid cardboard square thing with the drink in it, where does that go?? i have to put it on the passenger seat and then i worry when i go round every corner that it will tip over (which it would if i dident keep grabbing it) so it would be handy to have a cup holder i can just shove it in and forget about it. plus i have one of those alu coffee mugs which i take to work in a morning (sat in 30min of traffic EVERY DAY!) so i drink a coffee on the way to work lickily the alu cup has a little hole at the top to drink from so as yet i have never spilt any but it has been close a few times :P Kingpleb do you have any pics of your cup holder? where did you get it from? thanks ohh and as a rule there is no food in my car and no drinks withut lids no pets of course and any muddy shoes go in the boot before you get into the car, lol my interior is mint and i intend to keep it that way :P

With or without lids..my rule is no food or drinks except water and a few mints.
My water bottle complete with flip-up cap sits in the centre console behind the handbrake and it does the trick.
Now what the heck is that camel thingy? Do you have a pic?

A Camel back is like a big bag and flexible pipe from it with a nipple on it you squeeze and suck the juice out of.
Cant be anything fizzy and if strong flavoured needs to be cleaned after use or can go funny inside....

I have one of those really cheap stick on foam ones (say pepsi on them) that I've cut up and put into the cubbyhole at the back of the centre console. Works really well and is not really visible to anyone

Correct, or fake-suede! (Alcantara) They are from a Lancia Delta HPE '96. A lot better at holding my rumpie than the leather std's.. The mounts are not the same, so I had to use the mounts from the std. seats. On the driver's side though, the seat is height-adjustable, which builds on the height. Even in lowest pos it's high. So I could not use the std. mountings, but made new rear mounts and bolted the 2 front mounts directly to the floor. Works great now!

Favourite part of 'Bad Boys 1' is when Will Smith is telling Martin Lawrence about his Limited Edition Porshe (sp)
"Damn right its limited, no cup holder and only 2 seats"
