Jason E Posted 7March, 2021 Report Share Posted 7March, 2021 I know. I know, I know, where the stock ones are ......... the fold out crappy ones in front of my pumping A/C vent making my 36 ounce Vegan Soy decaf Macchiato prematurely tepid............(bluerchy). I like my socially responsible coffee substitute scaldingly hot................. I recall a company that made good metal ones that fit on to passenger seat rails etc etc. Before I start Googling I thought I'd ask the Brains trust & also you guys off PFA...........boom boom...... what you've done to rectify this travesty of design. Needs to be easily reachable from the drivers position, I refuse to burn unneccesary calories stretching to reach a beverage. DIscuss immediately ..............

Carrera28 Posted 7March, 2021 Report Share Posted 7March, 2021 Cup holder is not a high priority for me, so I just got myself one of these: https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/411989.html Fits in five seconds and is hidden away when not in use. I think I got mine off EBay. Fishcop, Jason E and Troubleshooter 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merv Posted 7March, 2021 Report Share Posted 7March, 2021 Is drinking coffee while driving legal? 😁 With the blitz on phone use it seems a small extension to coffee cups. A friend of mine scored 3 points in QLD for taking one hand off the wheel to brush his hair back! The fitting in the console seems a good idea or use an insulated, re-fillable coffee cup?

crsedge Posted 7March, 2021 Report Share Posted 7March, 2021 I bought a metal cup holder and fire extinguisher plus mount for my 996 from Ray at Autoracing Technik (ART). The cup holder folds away when not in use and mounts under the seat rail 👍 Ray is a great guy, a Porsche enthusiast and it is an Aussie product 😎 Jason E and tomo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No laws exist to make eating or drinking coffee illegal in any state of Australia, though an asshole cop MAY deem you are not in 100% control of the vehicle, and fine you on that basis https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-samsung-rev2&source=android-browser&sxsrf=ALeKk01pxHhJEGoZTSMG7XP7_ERl3bP_Qw%3A1615177726714&ei=_qdFYJGdK9Kv8QPm06vYBw&q=drinking+coffee+whilst.driving.an.offence%3F&oq=drinking+coffee+whilst.driving.an.offence%3F&gs_lcp=ChNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwEAMyBQgAEM0CMgUIABDNAjIFCAAQzQIyBQgAEM0COgoIIxCwAhCwAxAnOggIABCwAxDNAjoHCCMQsAIQJzoECCEQClCaO1jkWmCxYGgBcAB4AIABggOIAe8kkgEGMi0xNi4ymAEAoAEByAECwAEB&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp Jason E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine scored 3 points in QLD for taking one hand off the wheel to brush his hair back! The fitting in the console seems a good idea or use an insulated, re-fillable coffee cup? Now @Merv, there's a lot to unpack here. Before we go on, in the spirit of full disclosure I must admit to being, for my sins, a Police Officer (Qld). NOT a Traffic Officer. NOT. A. TRAFFIC. OFFICER. (nobody likes them, not even other Cops). I was shit at writing tickets so was never asked to do much traffic enforcement. @LeeM is correct that here in Qld it is not an offense to drink coffee, eat a burger etc etc, drive with one hand etc etc especially not rubbing a hand through one's luxurious locks of hair whilst navigating the byways of this State (I also have to disclose baldness so excuse me if I sounded a bit bitter there). In general if you are driving erratically/ poorly & the Police Officer draws a parallel between the fact that whilst chowing down on your Whopper Double Beef with Cheese it was causing you to weaving all over the road he may give you a ticket for failing to maintain proper control of a motor vehicle. Possibly your mate was doing a LOT of hair flicking causing him to accelerate wildly to 132klph in a school zone & preform a 72 meter burnout 😁 whilst flicking his hair out of his eyes........ (just kidding). I know A LOT of dickhead Coppers but none would write someone up for flicking hair as they would be roundly castigated in Court by a surly Magistrate were it contested. firstone and Merv 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merv Posted 9March, 2021 Report Share Posted 9March, 2021 True Jason. " I know A LOT of dickhead Coppers but none would write someone up for flicking hair as they would be roundly castigated in Court by a surly Magistrate were it contested". Most of my family are, or have been, senior police officers in Qld and on the occasion cited above the PO, told the driver that he was driving 'well' and staying within the speed limit (he had followed the driver for almost 10 kms). I suspect it was the fancy car he had as much as anything. How can you drive a manual shift without taking a hand off the wheel? I hope he does take it to a magistrate.
