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!

 

A guy offered to sell me an F1 for $50, but I turned it down cause it had no cup holders

 

lol

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.

 

Cup holders are 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.

 

Well in that respect I could do without my ashtray.

 

cupholder = passenger

 

I trust cupholders more than some of my friends though, lol....

 

lol, ok then..

passenger = seatcover

 

heheh that works

 

i go to fast for cup holders!

 

I go too fast for passengers.

 

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.

 

and I, just go to fast.

 

i agree, the worst is deffinatly when you are riding shotgun, and your buddy desides he wants to pull a holeshot from the next stop sign without giving you warning, ahh the feeling of ice cold coke running under your pants.....

 

Naw, hot coffee is the worst. My friend did that once when we were riding in his 95 Supra. I'm sitting there with the hot coffee between my legs carefully trying not to burn my inner thighs (sp?) and he punched it and the coffee started to spill out of the cup into my lap.

 

I say screw the cup holders. I've raced people in my Z while holding a 1 liter Dew and a Wendy's tripple cheeseburger at the same time.

 

lol black if he pulls a holeshot neway they fall out of cup holders also. A sports car dont need a cup holder. I do use my ashtray for spare change tho.

 

You must have an Auto. Try that in a manual.
Actually, try talking on the phone, smoking a cigarette, eating a burger, holding a drink in your lap, and racing someone.

 

I do have an auto, but I have to shift it manually.

 

Yea it does sux..Its not so bad when you driven the city limits but when you like me..drive to my dads its two hours of high way..welp i get tired of my ballz freezing holding a drink between my legs and im not taken any friends to my dads..so yea i need a couple holder

And lol zepher.sounds like a lot of ****z to do at once..lol

cup Holders are good thats one more reason im getting a 4th gen consol!!!

Adam!

 

PEPSI !!!!!!

 

PEPSI !!!!!!

 

Cup holders in my vehicle prove useless in idle...

 

I WISH I HAD CUP HOLDERS.......man i want them so bad......so bad.....hey let us know if that Countach has a cup holder ok?.....btw i cant believe some people say Countach's are ugly.....

 

If I ever can afford a McLaren F1 and it doesn't have cup holders, I'm going to put after market ones in it!

 

i couldnt stand not having a cupholder.....so i made one.....holds every size drink......change....screws.....and my cell phone perfectly in the upright position

 

I'm not sure but i rember a while back people was buying them ones that like sit in your door seal..no mean they like just hand on your door easy aftmark cup holder..besides maken your own or getting 4th gen consol... Check auto zone or somthing i think im going to pick some up next week..cant stand it any more!! ahh

adam!

 

I could really care less about cup holders...I mean..yeah..they are cool and handy to have...but..it's a sports car......but, it's your car....do whatever fits your needs

 

If I ever could afford a McLaren, and it DIDNT come with a cupholder for that price, I would be very upset.

 

i dont know about cup holders.. but i know for a fact they didn't come with a radio.

 

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.

 

Yep.

 

cupholder = passenger and lap.....man thats cold

 

cupholder = passenger with tigole bitties and ample clevage. Thats a cupholder

 

here's a pretty cool cup holder

I don't think I would complain about an F1 not having one, but our cars are everyday cars. I need to make one for my car.

And stop calling me Shirley!!!

 

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
