Did you know that a Starbucks insulated mug fits the center console cup holders perfectly! much better than the Land Rover mug which falls over and out of the holder on the first bend. Silver TDV6 HSE

That is deffinately going on the Chrismas Pressie list! I'm fed up going round bends hanging onto the cup to avoid coffee going everywhere!
PS Gareth, thought U were in Aviemore, has the Happy Haggis been upgraded to MacStarbucks??? Just bought one in Cardiff, £17 down to £10 with a ringpull type lid and two dimpled rubber rings around the middle??. Can't test it as I've got the Aygo in today.
I'll be up in Aviemore from mid afternoon Saturday so look out for a Bonatti HSE with two cute puppies in the back.

That's due to the LR3 being designed to carry 22 litres of the stuff by some American's along with the fact that we apparently import the LR3 and just change the name dockside to keep us Brits happy.
Handy hint though

Wonder how he got the mug home? Don't suppose you could get one in an Aygo...

After spending £9.99 on yet another car cup, it does not fit, though will fit in the 3rd passanger side car cup. 
Whatever idiot designed the cupholder in the centre area should be shot. Why is it stepped inwards at the base and so damn wide at the top, I have 4 different car cups & none of them fit.
Aaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhhhhhh!

I have found that the standard champagne bottle fits nicely in most of the cup holders! Slowly building a silver G4 RRS!

S'pose that's another plus for Auto doxes, U don't need to put the champers bottle down for roundabouts!

Your all wrong! A Starbuck mug fits perfectly. Give me 10 minutes, and I'll get a photo up to prove it.

Aaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhhhh! This is the mug I bought, the only type in the Cardiff store! Useless for the centre cup holder, will keep an eye out for the "proper" one.
