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

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 ;)

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?? ;)  }{

you should try tennants super instead of coffee, theres a reason why tramps call it electric soup.....

why on earth would you want to drink on the way to work? when it will cost you 3 points + fine if plod sees you

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...

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

Electric soup? Didn't that used to be Newcastle Broon ale?

Except it's like water now, not much electric about it ::)

chief, i have to drink on the way to work as i drive buses; the other drivers started moaning about all the empty beer cans littering the floor of the cab when they took over from me.....

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!

Baz is the chap to ask on this, he modded the central back seat with a BMW cup holder that pops out for the driver and passenger.

Not sure if I'm following you on this one PeteB???  If Baz has modded the central BACK seat then the cup-holders arm would have to be WOW long... or am I missing something here??
