Cup Holders

[dmcsweeney]

Hi all,
one modern convenience I do miss in the P6 is the lack of cup holders. I usually take the car out for a run first thing Sunday morning, and swing by Starbucks for a coffee. Up to now I've either had to manage by holding my cup while driving, or if the wife wants coffee as well I have to stand them in my box of spares in the boot. I came up with a new solution this weekend, but I think I need something a bit neater and more permanent .

Regards,
Dave

I use a similar approach.....

I managed to get away with just the single elastic hook, clipped to the passenger seat-belt stalk, and ideally I need to find a more snug fitting cable reel, but it did the job

I use the flask for two reasons:

1) It keeps the coffee hot for longer
2) If you run out of coffee simply buy some more and place in the same receptacle, so you only need one size reel of cable to suit all possibilities

I have to ask, why the two boot approach, as surely if you have a passenger, you aready have a cup holder :shock: :shock: :shock:

Nice neat solution there!!

I always go out on my own for a drive on Sunday morning, get myself a coffee and bring one back for the other half. If she's with me she serves as cup holder!!

ideally I need to find a more snug fitting cable reel

I think a roll of 8 core alarm cable should have the right dimensions

Dave

And here was me thinking that the cable reel and metalic flask added up to a magnetic induction coffee heater to keep it warm for longer, you could patent that sort of idea!

Surely there is some kinda cup holder, like a water bottle holder off a bike that one might be able to attach somehow under the center consul? You could do it on the passenger side!

But i do like the improvisation!
