This is the kind of drink holder that I use. The trouble with this kind is
convincing the wife that you shouldn't slam the door shut with a drink
hanging on it! The wife can't go from point A to point B (regardless of how
close A is to B) without a nice sticky coke. (I prefer the sugar free stuff,
it doesn't get sticky.) But I must admit, I too need a drink with me on a
long trip during a heat wave. I wish someone would develop a nice custom
drink holder just for the MGB. Something that can be permanently installed
that looks good. VENDORS TAKE NOTE: We are willing to pay extra for quality,
please don't try to save a few pennies with cheap materials! (See my other
post about mechanical parts.)
