Title: Cup Holders!!! Post by JungleBoy on Mar 17th, 2008, 7:54pm Hi, Am I blind or did Ford Forget to include Cup-holders in a Super Lux Motor??? I've had my Scorp for about 8 months now. It's been gr8, can't fault it.. It's a '96 2.0l Ultima with all the bits added on, barring one!!!! >:( I've looked everywhere but can't seem to find any ??? Am I looking straight at it and not realising it?? BTW, this is a GR8 site.. saved me lots of money with tips on repaires and how to's.... Cheers Hit |

Title: Re: Cup Holders!!! Post by TiberiuS on Mar 18th, 2008, 11:43pm Hello JungleBoy (great name by the way ;)) and welcome to the realm of cup-holderless Scorpios. No, we don't get cup holders (I'd never thought about it before to be honest). My Mondeo has an excuse for one on the underside of the centre console cubby lid thingy, but that's my only brush with them; I don't think it's seen as good etiquette for drivers of more upmarket cars to have a can of coke/Dr Pepper/ Roadside stall tea/Guinness on display in the cab whilst driving ::) Regards, Bruce ;) |

Title: Re: Cup Holders!!! Post by JungleBoy on Mar 19th, 2008, 1:59pm Thanks for the replies guys.. but I only wanted somewhere to put my coffee on the morning run to work...!! Mr. Taliban sir... shouldn't you only be drinking your Tennants Super whilst sitting on a park bench, hurling incomprehensible abuse to the general public?? ;) }{ |

Title: Re: Cup Holders!!! Post by taliban aka Cheekyboy2 on Mar 19th, 2008, 2:51pm no, i'd have to be scottish to do that..... ;D you should try tennants super instead of coffee, theres a reason why tramps call it electric soup..... |

Title: Re: Cup Holders!!! Post by JungleBoy on Mar 19th, 2008, 6:54pm That's a Big grey area and i don't think we should go into it, if only to save arguments on my first post... Taliban, I've not tried TS but you might want to try King Cobra... Same effect, better taste apparently... |

Title: Re: Cup Holders!!! Post by taliban aka Cheekyboy2 on Mar 19th, 2008, 7:03pm nah, its true, its not a grey area, you do have to be scottish to sit on a park bench hurling abuse, the hammersmith area is favoured, ask highlander, he's still there after some 'interesting' rugby results..... ;D |

Title: Re: Cup Holders!!! Post by gozz on Mar 20th, 2008, 4:39pm Tali Nothing wrong with EMPTY beer cans apart from the noise!When I was on the buses(old Bristols)we had a driver with urinary incontinence,when you took over from him a certain unpleasantness prevailed as the Bristol cab floorpan was a cast aluminium well!
