Those were the days, when I could actually make a move on a girl in a 1st gen, if I tried that now you'd be hearing a annecdote about the jaws of life to remove me......

Your missing option c kentetsu. I have excatly what sgieldon has, its the best. When not in use you jsut fold it up. I have it in the same spot as him too. Thats the best one, i'm telling you, hard to notice too. Adjustable for all size cups.

Didn't Manntis use to sell one off rotorhead.ca ?

I think it went above the ashtray and pulled out.

rotorhead.ca doesnt sale them anymore. i contacted manntis about getting one a couple months ago. he said he has a new one in the works but itll probably be a while before it hits the market.

maybe after we get a few more ideas we should archieve this.

ive thought about going with the 90-97(?) center console in my car. it has two built in cup holders. the same cup holders is a straight replacement for the 79-80 ashtray/window switches.

ive also seen a volvo(?) console lit conversion to add cup holders.
