Between the thighs seems to be hi tech solution for the minor - Sometimes risky tho. Quick clench means that Strawberry Macshake goes everywhere.

There are several options

if you can mount under the dash on passenger side.

These might fit in the doors there is usually enough play!!

A variation on the above

This one is designed for a stroller but may fit on the switches at the front of the car

Yeah, on the edge of the door (lol)


Win, love the definition on that gear knob, mine has been worn smooth. Anyone got a spare round type ?

Cup holders... dear me. Shouldn't be drinking in a car. First time I came across the wretched things was in a Merc we had about 20 years back. I sorted them out with superglue before the boss found out about them. :wink:

Most essential, couldn't be without mine in the Merc, an hour into my Journey if I am out and about usually sees me parked up on the M25 or A14 so a good time for coffee :D , don't have any in the Minor though - the wife !.

I ordered the same £1.59 ones that were supposed to have arrived last week but no sign of them as of yet. Will let you know what they're like once here.

After a near miss with a cheap travel mug spilled into my lap i now use a nice one made by CAMELBAK, The big advantage is that the cup can be put down and not leak, At around £25 they are not cheap but it is like a flask aswell so it keeps your drink warm on a long run.

These are the exact ones that we bought and finally arrived the day before our trip to the national. We didn't end up using them though as I thought they'd scratch the paint. Did you find they left a mark?
