I went to get a coffee on the way down to Portsmouth at the weekend stopping at the services. I returned to my car (only had it a week), and realised that a 30k car new did not have any cupholders!

So what essential kit is missing from your cars?
 
None, it's got wheels and brakes an engine + turbo and a gearbox :p can't ask for much more, that's all i need.

Edit : Ok, maybe there are some things that would be nice :)

TCS would be nice for when i just want to sit back and drive without worry, erm thats about it really, given its a sports car and its class its not really missing anything.

What car is that? I thought most cars in the last 10-15 years had at least PAS and e/w :)

Btw, I wouldn't exactly call cup holders a 'basic necessity' although my antique Vauxhall has them :)

Use the drawer tray as the cupholder - put cup in and side the drawer up to it.

I was a dunce last nite, I tried the new key went and got some beers, drove into the garrage, and tried to get the key out stuck cursing the dealers for a crap key. I sat there for ages turning the engine on moving the steering wheel, thinking the steering lock had busted/the key had a burr on it. Anyway just about to give up when I noticed that I had left the car in neutral (auto box) and not P for park. Key came out :p

My silly moment for the week was 30 mins ago - I just pulled up at McDonalds drive thru - pressed the window down and a ton of snow fell in :o

Yeah, going to McDonalds is rather daft tbh.
 
Wouldnt mind AC in the summer and cruise control would be nice sometimes, although im not really that bothered about either.
