Cup Holder
I know it is a sin to drink and drive (especially in an old German car) but I find myself in need of a cup of joe on long trips through the desert at night... Any suggestions? Having my uphostery redone right now and am open to various suggestions...

Give this link a try. http://www.inventivaconcepts.com/air-1.html I have one and it's pretty handy. Looks good too. It fastens to the end of the the seat track. Installs or removes in seconds!

I bought one of the Fischer cupholders sold at the ultimate cupholder site but haven't installed it yet (still trying to determine how to hang it on the door without making holes). The build quality is as advertised - very nice.

Brewmeister - I just ordered one of the inventia ones. Looks like a great idea.
I have one of the plastic versions of the Fisher but can't bring myself to drill or sticktape the thing into my car. I had one of the R type vent cup holders. It worked ok but eventually fell off with a Venti Starbucks... Not fun.

Check out the cup holder part # 914091 at automotion.com or in the catalog page 201. It plugs into the lighter socket. It is securely held and is out of the driving space. It blends into the interior and doesn't look obnoxious

I need my cup of coffe in the morning too, and had the same problem. Believe it or not I found the perfect holder at K-Mart. It has three holders with a slim base that slips perfecty between the passenger seat and the parking break. It is black plastic and at looks like it was made to be there. Cost: $3.95. Funny thing is there is a guy on E-Bay selling the exact same holder as a custom Porsche cup holders for $15.00.
