About Drinks Holders
The MINI drinks holder functions to keep cans and bottles secure and in place, preventing the drink from spilling.
Drink holders come in different styles, designs and colours. Drinks holders are usually made out of plastic and supplied with fixtures and fittings. The position of a drinks holder in a car can vary. Some cars will have the option of mounting a drinks holder onto the dashboard, often retractable or foldable, and in many cases the drinks holder can be incorporated into the arm rests or the car will have arms rests with built in drink holders, and built into the console between seats. In lots of cars the glove box will have an indent which allows you to place a cup or bottle, designed for the front passenger to use, but this isn't usually good at keeping a drink in place when the car is travelling along. Some drink holders can be positioned in front of the vents so that the air can be used to either keep the drink warm or cold. And cup holders can also be fitted into the car doors on some models. A feature of many drink holders is an integral stabilising mechanism which keeps the cup steady when in the holder.
Having a drinks holder in your car can help to keep the car clean and tidy. The driver's drinks holder is usually placed in an area that can be easily accessed. It's not advisable, however, to drink and eat while driving a car, for reasons of safety. Distracted drivers are more likely to cause road accidents and drinking or eating while driving is considered in the UK as cause to be charged with Driving Without Due Care and Attention.
MINI trivia
- It might have been a tight fit, but 27 people can fit into a Mini. The Guinness Book of Records confirmed that 27 could fit into the classic model Mini, although 28 people managed to get into the BMW Mini in 2012. The 27-person record was performed by Dani and the Miniskirts during the London to Brighton Mini-Run.
- Over the last 41 years, five and a half million Minis have been produced by MINI.
- MINI sells between 40,000 and 65,000 cars in the US every year, although that number is slowly dropping at the moment as smaller cars are going out of fashion.
- It can be hard to keep track of all of the different companies that have owned MINI throughout its long history. At the moment, the name is owned by BMW, and MINI has its own independent division.
- Where you'd expect to see a radio or speaker system in a Mini, was actually an ashtray in early models. The designer of the first Mini was a heavy smoker who believed that listening to the radio was more of a distraction than lighting a cigarette.
