Foolishly, I bought a nice quality Aladdin insulated travel mug - I like to have one that closes - and, of course, it will not fit in the wretchedly small -'cup holders' in the Yeti. I put that in quotes as I am not sure that is even what it is supposed to be - I know the optional ashtray fits in there, for instance. Anyhow, that is what I wish to use it for and it would not have been rocket science for Skoda to have made one that a cup actually fitted into, like every other car manufacturer manages.

I was in Maplin this morning - dangerous place to brouse - and bought one with a base that narrows and fits the holder nice and snugly. So snug that I would not know if it would fit one where folk have added the chrome surround - I don't know if that intrudes into the hole further or not (TP, I think, note). Anyhow this one - which sort of looks like chinese generic and may be availble all over in many guises - was marked with the 'Rolson' name, and came complete with a plastic holder, for £3.99. Nothing like as nice quality as the Aladdin, but far more useful - in the Yeti - and less than half the price, too.

Just in case someone else is looking..

The nice free insulated cup I got from Land Rover fits perfectly!!

My diet coke cans fit, that is all that is needed, and 2 go into the armrest!

Most 500ml bottles fit as well, as does a macdonalds cup()

I think you're expecting a bit too much of Skoda on that score

Quite like the mug though.

I believe that the term "Mc Donald`s" refers to a fast food franchise normally found in the more populated areas of the United Kingdom as opposed to the more remote locations. As for the description "500ml bottle", I have been reliably informed that it refers to a new unit of measurement describing the capacity of a liquid containment vessel. This ground breaking new "Metric System" is gradually filtering through to the more isolated areas and will eventually replace Imperial measurements.

PS. I did not sell you your caravan - did I?

Ah! Is this that strange retail outlet situated by the cross roads in Newtown, upon which is a sign of a golden M? I did not realise they sold food!!

We in the more isolated areas do understand this "metric" idea, and do now count our sheep in tens, but are wondering when a day with have 10 hours, a week 10 days and a year 10 months. Verily tis better than the Baker's dozen!!

PS. I did not sell you your caravan - did I?

Only if you have a Adria dealership in Dorset!!

Why?

Ahh! Newtown, gateway to the Mawddach Estuary and Mrs. Whites CL. Happy days.

Thankfully, I live 12 miles further south!!

Re the caravan question earlier.....do you sell them or what?

Ha Ha - thanks for all replies - the Skoda mug looks exactly like the Rolson one, so if its more than £3.99 it's too much, if less, it's a bargain. Yeah, I know that a lot of things will fit, at a pinch, but the fact is that a lot of ones won't - the diameter of the hole is less than most vehicles out there, that is the point. Stop at a service station and chances are your coffee cup will be too big - FACT. It shouldn't be a tough one to fix, IMO.

I knew there was a reason I bought that Dremel

No the chrome surround sits on the top only and does not reduce the size of the "cupholder".
