Re: cup holders

[Wombat7762@xxxxxxx]

I never liked the BMW cupholders that clip on the side of the e34
console--they're great until you make a turn, and then all sorts on
interesting fluids are leaking down into the box. 

I had a similar problem with a 944 (rip). There was no way to install a
cupholder and enjoy driving the thing. At last, I got an "Octopus'
cupholder--basically a large black plastic cup with a non-skid bottom and
little arm thingies inside that adjust to your cup size. This goes on the
passenger side floor BUT has a thick rubber strap threaded through it which is
hooked on to the passenger seat rails. Haven't had a spill in years.

 so far is jamming the cup between the centre console and the passender side
 seat belt clasp.  Anyone have any bright ideas?  Gluing a Wal-Mart product
 to the top of the dashboard doesn't count! >>
