Well, not quite 'drinks cabinet' more a 'drinks holder'.

I find I use the pull-out tray a lot to balance my coffee and / or soft drinks on whilst driving. Which is fine until you turn a corner!

So I've been looking for a decent drinks holder that would not ruin the atmosphere of the interior nor involve any damage in fitting it.

After much search I came across a small device that's actually designed for yachts and large 'mobile home' vehicles.

It's very heavy duty - made of wood and chromed metal - and the best thing is that it has suction pads underneath so you simply stick it to the tray when you need it and remove it when you don't.

Apologies for quality of pix from my iPhone but they give you the idea.

If anyone is interested I'll post a link to where I bought it. It goes without saying I have no involvement with the company who makes these.

They're actually American but I bought mine via EBay tinyurl.com/mp28jsu

They sell them as a single, double or triple glass holder. I can vouch for their quality. Extremely sturdy and well made from marine grade teak.
