Another question , please try not to mock to much

[wtdoom]

I know I'll get abuse for this . I know that I probably deserve some abuse for this but I have to ask the question ...
As some of my friends on here know I really use my cars (40,000 miles in carrera gt's mostly to , on and from track for example ). My lovely new v12 Vantage will get used more than any car . It will be my daily driver when I am in the uk and Europe . Because I don't get to drive as much as I used to when I'm in Europe and the uk I drive everywhere . This v12 Vantage will be that car .
I'll drive her into town , up north , across Europe , for business and pleasure .

I have a question please , what do you all with low centre console do about a drinks holder ?

I said it was a stupid question but I drink litres of fluid a day . Water is fine I just leave it following around on the floor in the passenger foot well but sometimes I love a nice coffee or a red bull super free (breakfast of champions , protein drink and red bull!) is there a solution I can use that is safe enough to keep stuff off my lovely black interior ?
Failing that I'll simply stop drinking everything other than water .

Thanks again

Obviously as a Vantage owner you'll already have the tracksuit. I'm sure the hats are available in black as well

I don't think it would have made any difference if you had gone for the hi-line console as doubt bottles would be safe in there. I also don't think going for the GT12 doorcards makes a difference as you would have struggled to keep a bottle there either. Do your lightweight seats still have a front zip pocket on them might be a solution, but not great.

There was a thread a while ago about this very subject but cannot remember what it was titled. No solution from me I am afraid but perhaps someone else can help.

I have a car very similar to your new one - also from Guy at HWM. They're brilliant!

I only ever drink water in mine. Out of an Evian bottle that I refill out of my fridge, cos it seals really well and just works. Drinking anything that could make a right bloody mess of the interior would make me shiver. So I would stick with water and drink the other stuff before or after you set off on your travels.

My drinks bottle sits happily between the driver's seat and the driver's door near handbrake lever!

Unfortunately the correct answer is a high line consol

Definitely a potential solution here: http://ultimatecupholders.com as detailed in the thread. As has been mentioned cup holders in the highline console (with manual transmission) are just a shortcut to broiled balls anyway.

That's brilliant.
I can see one problem though.
At the very first corner, the coffee will tip all over your lap.

It is thought that the connection that Aston Martin now have with the Red Bull Formula One team, will lead to spin offs for the road cars.
There is clearly some demand for the F1 drinks system.

Quite like the look of these, can't think where there is a blank switch to utilise though.
