What I usually do if I'm traveling a long way on a hot day is slide a very small cooler between the seats, back against the rear panel, install my cup holder and I'm set.

The majority of the time the cockpit is clean and original looking (no stinking cup holder)

I'm sure your cheap solution don't stink - and looks very original
but I guess dwrat - like me - would like a more permanent and elegant solution

Bob Bro,
Can you show us a pic of it mounted in your car ? I never noticed it at our meets, but it looks like it might be perfect.

I got some pictures from John and it is what I will most likely do.
Here is one on his pictures.

Looks like the one I found also

I prefer them in stainless steel (carpet is grey / will match the instruments) - and more deep (better grip)

but looks nice and original in black/black

Take a bicycle bottle holder and just swing it over one of the knobs. added benefit: pendulum action!

You could put this on your door....folds up nice.

While I'm impressed and applaud some of these solutions, I must be the Neanderthal of the crowd...I simply wedge a couple water bottles where the seat, trans tunnel and rear bulkhead all collide. Simple, no velcro or bolts, and if I spill it's only water.

Snakebit, that's one beautiful car that you have. With all of the "NO" restrictions that you have I'd say that your drives are 1/4 mile at a time. Out here where the cities and towns are 100 miles apart we'll often drive two hours to get to an event, do the event and then drive two hours home. The drive home is always in the dark, even in the summer because sunset is 7:38 pm in southern Arizona and it's really dark by 8:15 pm. Also, the temptures during the day (and night) exceed 100 degrees so the convience of a cup holder becomes almost a necessity if you are going to drive any distance. As for your banning swimming, I must say that most of us out here in Arizona have encountered a sudden summer rain storm and sat in an inch of water, too shallow to dive in and swim but not enought to keep from complaining and crying. Your car would be safe here because we don't have any fish, you can ask any fisherman about that. Does your Cobra have an ashtray like the origionals ? Hope to see you at the LCS this year.

Snakebit and Henrik, now I'm getting my DVR hooked up to the LCD TV that I'm mounting.

Pete, is that going next to your GPS?

Snakebit:

The T-Shirt that conveys the message:

Nah. Our shirt reads, "Get in, sit down, and hold on. Scream all you like because they can't hear you over the sidepipes anyway."

[AZ Pete]

Good question, Dan. I had to move the GPS into the glove box next to the toaster oven.
