The cup holders! (Catera?)

Again, no connection with these - but must be of interest to someone? I know, they hinge towards your belly, because they're made for a LHD drive car, but still pretty nice to have.

The cup holder in my Saab 95 Aero is pretty cool. I believe it to be the same item fitted to the Monaro. It folds into the dash fascia vertically, only to unfold and twists as it opens horizontally.

Is that the sound of a man who drives an automatic?!

To be honest, it's something you would have assumed they would have thought about more on the facelift Omega, especially considering the Vectra B had five of them (two fold out ones from the centre console, two in the glovebox lid and one in the armrest.

Most of the time my Starbucks / Costa / water bottle / tin is squashed between the passenger seat and transmission tunnel.....

Bottles sit neatly between the seat back/seat belt buckle/arm rest... and if you actually need a cup holder, you simply lift the armrest up ::) passengers can hold their own drinks ;D

Joking aside, I did consider retro fitting the rear cup holders from a Vectra C, which pop out from the front edge of the back seat :-\

Nah it's the sound of a man who believes you should be doing nothing but holding the wheel at ten to two, staring blindly ahead in a car with no radio, no heater, no knobs or buttons to distract you, driving along in your own little geriatric bubble wondering why there is a trail of destruction behind you.. ;)

The cup holder in the Omega is pretty shite though.  ::)  Not deep enough to hold anything securely and too far back, so you have to 'feel around' for your coffee probably knocking it over in the process!  :(  ::)  ;D
