Cup Holder

Post by andygill »

Made my first trip to work in my new traveller today, fantastic !!!

The one thing I did miss was my daily Costa coffee fix.

Has anyone fitted a cup holder into their minor. If so what type did you get and where did you fit it.

Thanks
Andy

You can get something like this which clips over the window for just a few pounds. Not great looking but you can put it in the glove box when not using it:[frame]Image[/frame]

I am in the process of designing a center consol that fits over the gearbox tunnel that encorporates 2 cupholders. This won't be available for several months though so may be a bit late for your cup of joe :lol: . Check out my thread and vote! :D

Ok. I get my Coffee from my local "Costa Coffee" place at my local garage when ever I set out for a club show, Run, or any other event we attend. I have a great cup holder that grips my cup of favoutite brew without spilling a drop. Although I havent got a perminant fixing point. it dose a great enough job. I have posted a picture but please note that the cup holder fits quiet nicely on the front seat. What do you think?[frame]Image[/frame]

I picked up an armrest/junk trap at the local boot fair last week.
Really chuffed as I'd looked at them on Ebay but baulked at £25 or so for something that might not fit.
Not only did it only cost £5, but it fits with a minimum of seat shuffling!
Anyway one thing it has in spades is cup holders![frame]Image[/frame][frame]Image[/frame]

Cup holder ? Don't Drink and Drive ! Seriously - Cops are pulling folk over for drinking while driving. Even prosecuted a lad in Ayr recently - who was stopped in a traffic hold -up, handbrake on - gears in neutral - for eating a Mars. It was thrown out in Court - but you can see how Plod is thinking!!!

I always found the traffic plods north of the border to be more strict on motoring offences eating a mars bar seems a tad extreme though.
