You American's and your cup holders:)
Geez, I was looking through the biggest pet peeves or things we dislike about our cars (6 pages of it). Recurring theme was cup holders! WTF? That is sad. So the cars didn't come with them, pick up a Hoe to carry your drink 
Besides it's covered in the tech articles. But claiming cup holders are the biggest let down is pathetic..... 
I can't imagine the McLaren F1 has them either but I'm sure you wouldn't complain then would you? Surely not!

That just means that our cars are great. If the worst thing most people can find to complain about is a lack of cup holders, I tend to think we're doing pretty good.

That's exactly what I was getting at! LOL $50? Was it 1/18 scale by any chance? Guess what guys I am driving a Countach on the 4th April at Goodwood. It is a sales promo that I won I will take the IROC down, I'm told they like to have fun down there... Man I can't wait! I may come away saying how slow it is compared to the Zee Can't wait to hear that V-12 though! Oh yeah!

Wow, I would love to even just GO to Goodwood. All the old racing greats hanging out, sometimes with the cars that made them famous. Lucky bastard.
Are you going to be able to romp on the Countach around Goodwood, or are you taking it on a parade lap?

I actually like the fact we have no cup holders... I don't let anyone drink in my car.

It's the worst when your sitting passenger, you just get out of the drive-thru from McDonald's or something, and your holding the soda's because there are no cup holders. Next thing you know, a Mustang pulls up next to you, and your buddy floors it. Yeah, he prolly beat the mustang, but your covered in soda.

Actually, try talking on the phone, smoking a cigarette, eating a burger, holding a drink in your lap, and racing someone.

Have any of you guys really been so thirsty that you must have a drink in your car? I've never been that thirsty. If I was, I'd stop at a gas station, get a drink, drink it, then leave.

Sorry Shirley!
The Coutach drive isn't during the famous 'Festival Of Speed' but at the track anyway. I get to race it over 7 miles of the Goodwood Circuit so it should be amazing. I will take my video camera.
" Some people say the Countach is ugly" I know, strange isn't it. People tend not to like the harsh lines of 80's cars.. Just the other day a mate was told he couldn't buy the 84 Camaro as "It was ugly" by his girlfriend. I have never heard our cars called ugly before and it hurt to be honest. Then I thought that they probably find the Countach and Lancia Delta Integrale ugly- what do they know?
Cheers all

I've noticed that too, perhaps that's why there are soooo many fat americans. It's funny that people cant seem to part w/food/drink to the point that people started putting cup holders in cars. I can understand it in a semitruck doing a billion mile days but in a sports/muscle car thats just plane fat person logic. If my Camaro or my MG had cup holders I would remove them
