Vectra Elite Estate doing good post-Omega service but still not as nice to sit in.

One last Omega on the drive, one Corsa on the lawn...maybe they'll go to a good home before too long!

I regularly use cupholders to support my large "coffee nation" latte with double shot. I don't see what the issue in having the odd sip of a coffee is when sitting on the motorway..
I agree with you (though perhaps not hot drinks though), but fact is, its illegal, as is eating whilst driving.

I so agree with above comments about the cup holder on facelift its useless I cannot understand such a big car and no real space for cup holder or for that matter anything else.
the door spaces are only just big enough for a box of tic tacs!!!
getting back to the question I would love to know if there is a cup holder fit for the job in hand (well not physiscally in hand)

The hole in the top of the drivers door armrest is perfect for custard cream packets.

I have a perfect cup holder, though it is a bit noisey at speed....


....I just say to the ol' bag sat next to me "Here, hold this".  As said, occasionally get a whining noise during spirited driving ::)

I got this figured out ages ago when i was driving to work in the mornings and i need a Cuppa Coffee to wake up.

Drivers side door handle inner hole thingy a pack of fags in it and one of these drivers cups with a handle hooked into it really snug and never fell out. it was the best i could think of lol  ;D

My old Citroen AX you could have a bottle of wine in each front door holder thats the French for you

When you think of it, Smoking whilst driving is equivalent to eating, drinking or using a Mobile. All require the use of at least 1 hand and are potential distractions, yet Smoking is not Illegal (although it should be everywhere)

Let's not go on about Nanny State rules again! You only need 1 hand to steer a proper Omega & the other hand to eat/drink/smoke/pick your nose with/etc etc cos it'll be in DRIVE  ;)
