I saw this on a car being auctioned on eBay... I've already contacted the seller, and they don't know where it came from since it was already in the car when they purchased it...
(IMG:http://i9.ebayimg.com/05/i/000/8c/3c/ae70_1.JPG) (IMG:http://i4.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/8c/3c/b1c0_1.JPG) (IMG:http://i24.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/8c/3c/b4ae_1.JPG) Anybody have a clue where it came from, and where you might find one today? Thanks!, Dave |

Who would have thunk this topic to be so passionate!!!
When I was endurance racing, we always had a water bottle/tube set up for the driver...so there goes the "NO Drinks in a Race car" argument... When I was 16, I think everybody learned to drive with a beer bottle between their legs...it might have even been on the drivers test up here in Canada way back then....I can't remember...Our beer bottles were short stubby ones back then too....some of us could even heel and toe with it....(try that with a 3-speed column shift) Certainly not apropriate in the last 2 - 3 decades though... I don't buy the coffee thing...long trip or not, a REAL coffee drinker has his own travel mug which will not fit in any "holder" due to volume. If your coffee is that small it can fit in a dinky cup in a holder...you can probably do without...although if you could hook up a heated travel mug with a tube or IV that might work... Water bottles come with a cap...snap or screw, take your choice, but it can sit on the seat beside you if you are not driving "spiritedly"...if you are, you can wedge it somewhere (use your imagination)...hopefully not under the pedals... Kidding aside, I am not of the belief that europeans frown on cup holders...their towns are just closer and their trips shorter...so they are not needed. Also our 914s are older cars that require some level of skill and/or attention to drive...unlike more modern luxo cars that have power assist everything, driving aids and air bags for when you fall asleep of boredom. Point being cup holders ARE apropriate for modern luxo cars...As for sports cars...I'm not sure why mine even has a radio. I agree that I wouldnt want to introduce new holes to my 914 for a cup holder...but there are some ingenious solutions posted here, and I for one wouldn't hold it against anyone for personalizing their car....after all the car should be driven and enjoyed...if it takes a cup holder to choose the sports car ride into work, then... POWER to ya! |
