Cup Holder

[riwiho]

Simple post really.

I like coffee, I use to enjoy a coffee on the way to work in my old car car, I dont do this in the Elise as I have no where to put the coffee and I esepecially dont want to drive one handed in this cold weather.

So.......I want a cup holder. What are my options and where can I get them? Thanks

& you expect there to be any coffee left in the cup after 500 yards? Surely the ride quality will empty it before you have left the drive way..

HAHAHAHA I believe you are speaking from experience.

Well I have driven my commute with a cup of coffee on a number of occasions and it was not easy. My thinking is that the whole process could be made alot easier with a cup holder.

I drive an S1 mate, so definately speaking from experience.

I would never try drinking coffee in an S1, not only are you taking your own life into question but that of others.

Fill a Camelback up with coffee and hang it off the seat

Possibly the best answer to this question and one which I have already run past the other half however having just got the R (7 weeks ago) it appears I have it wait till at least march before this subject can even be mentioned in conversation

When on the motorway etc, i have often rested the cup on the sill. it actually works very well. i have seen somewhere some clip on cup holders that sit in the gap between the window and the inner part of the door. maybe Halfrauds?

Fill the windscreen washer bottle with coffee..... re-route the piping into the cabin and into your mouth, then a shot of hot, coffee is no more than a fingertip away, you won't even have to take your hands off the wheel! Hell, the action of the pump may even froth the milk for you!

sad i know but rather than $40 i have used this 85p alternative.

bought it for my other car but it does work in the lotus fitting in between the window gap.
seemed stable even when driving hard and trying to unsettle it

The holes in the pax footwell of my S1 are perfect for holding large take-away cups of coffee. You just need very long arms

Yeah but thats a large can of worms you are opening up when passing a hot coffee around your back.

Can you buy the cup holder found in the latest Elise and Exiges?

[LivinLaVidaLotus]

Yeah, you do have to be flexible (even with the seat all the way back) to get anything in and out of it - not only that, it's not actually wide enough to hold a bottle of water (unless you stand it on the lid, then it works).

[MiniDiva]

How about one of these...coffee instead of beer, obviously!:

Same here - but if there's no-one in the pax seat, just move the footrest closer.

I have a travel cup ... metal thing, the handle has just the right amount of curve to hook over the window winder and keep the cup in place on the sill. And it has a plastic lid so no sloshing.
