Where do members keep their coffee cups secure while driving?

[Tinker47]

Without delving into the safety issues of drinking fluids while driving, do members have some good, safe and secure means of holding a coffee mug in the car, suitable for a can or for e.g a Costa mug or a keep hot reusable mug? Thanks

I remade the parcel shelf using plywood, making it stronger, adding a two slot USB port and a twin retractable cup holder from a VW Golf. 8FEAFB9C-6F42-4AA0-9D9C-EC9CE0806AA9.jpeg CFC27F1D-5772-4A65-A874-C8CF1111AA59.jpeg

I bought these cup holders from a Saab garage (back when there were Saab dealerships), and riveted them to the door cards. Who says I can't hold my beer??

Interesting question. I always pass the cup to my partner, much to her annoyance. Interesting to see how others solve this 1st world problem

I'm assuming this is a wind-up question since the driver would have to take one hand off the steering wheel to drink while driving.

This is what I did, I made a custom centre console with cup holders, mobile phone holders and added electric seat warming switches as well. There are plenty of options to add cup holders to standard setup, find a spot to suit with the fold up type cup holders.

Your Stag looks outstanding Rumbo!

Hi All,
This is what I did to provide cup holders for my TR6 for the round britain run. Easily removeable

not necessarily, the cup could be in the holder whilst driving and lugs taken from it during traffic light breaks.

I have a similar setup as Sukhi, in the stag it wedges between the passenger seat base and the trans tunnel. not ideal

Don't you steer with your knees?

Some great ideas here and Rumbo wins for me, but my solution might be worth consideration.

Around 14 years ago I met a beautiful girl with a great sense of humour and a tolerant nature. We hit it off, started dating, fell in love - quite possibly not in that order - and after three years we got married. We were poor back then and my wedding car was an MX5.

She promised me that we could have a dog, and I promised her that if we could keep a dog alive we would eventually have children. It turned out to be a trick and one day, while I was distracted thinking about what dog I’d like, she got pregnant. It was a dastardly ruse and, being catholic, to this day I have no idea how it happened.

I went along with it though, for the paternity leave mainly, and we had our wonderful daughter, Florence. Later, still way before I was allowed a dog, we had another human - Ivy.

I won’t deny that, since those heady days, there’s been a fair amount of nurturing, cost, stress and selflessness. But we’re through it now and Florence and Ivy are 9 and 6 respectively. We sold the MX5 for a Stag and we have a dog called Pebbles.

Florence holds the hot drinks; Ivy the cold ones.

Don’t rule it out. That’s all I’m saying.
