So what is your cup size? Do you have a special cup for motoring? A cup that matches your MINI, or your theme, or whatever you're into? Here's mine...

It's from the 1999 Taco Bell/KFC/Pizza the Hutt, Star Wars Special Edition Promotion. Artoo's dome and legs are one piece and are the lid. The hole for the 15" straw is on the back of the dome. It holds 32 ounces.

My Front cup holder is large enough to sometimes hold a piece of Drainpipe

...& my rear cup holder ..well it sort of does the same

Why not just buy a professional camera mount - they only cost £50 for a basic one....?

Coz that would defeat the sheer ingenuinety (is that a real word?) of a rahter funky camera mounting solution.

10/10 for effort Restyle

Don't have no stinkin' cup holder on the downtube

nylo · Dec 20th, 2005, 12:11 AM

I particularly like the bendy bit where it comes out of the cupholder

I think you`re missing the point somewhat

Red_5 · Dec 20th, 2005, 02:45 AM

This thread went off topic real fast.

So where does the cup go?

of course I am.

Serously, I'm surprised that contraption doesn't stop you selecting certain gears. And rather obviously, stops you having passengers too.

I do hope you dont actually work in design. We're all in trouble other wise!! 10 out of 10 for sheer attention to problem solving....

(or should that be 20 out of 10....

And I'm guessing that it cost rather more than £50 to actually make... lol

My cup holder gets used for storing my Mersey Tunnel money as i have to go through it everyday. No drinks/food/cigs allowed.

Mini Soph · Dec 20th, 2005, 09:29 AM

I want one of them Star Wars ones LOL!! I just put my lipgloss in mine pmsl!

jamiebae · Dec 20th, 2005, 09:42 AM

My cup holder usually contains a Grande Starbucks takeaway cup, I don't have a special cup for the car.

Tonyt3 · Dec 20th, 2005, 09:54 AM

If I had my way, all cars would have cup holders removed....

jamiebae · Dec 20th, 2005, 09:56 AM

Buy a BMW 1 series then, unless you get an SE they're a £200 optional extra!!!

I spend too long in the car to be able to survive without cup holders, where else do I put my coffee on my weekly Monday morning drive from Brighton to Oxford?

Smurfn · Dec 20th, 2005, 10:26 AM

Of the 2 front cup holders, one contains coins, the other holds the OEM gear knob so I know where the gears are

Drinks bottles get put in rear cupholder, or passenger has to hold them, usually consist of plastic bottles

jamiebae · Dec 20th, 2005, 10:31 AM

The front cup holders are useless, i guess they might fit a regular Coke can but that's about it so one has the OEM ash tray in it for chucking screws in when I randomly dismantle bits of the car (I'm a non-smoker) and the other one holds my phone so I can see the directions on my navigation software. Drinks go in the rear cup holder.
