Hhhmm..... Yes, this idea did cross my mind but with regard to my initial query..... Has anyone found a Practical and Tasteful Solution?

10 to 2, 20 to 4, surely our preferred driving position is irrelevant, it's an 'arm rest' a place to rest your arm, which in that respect, I suppose it does what it says on the tin, but we pay all this money for the car and then have to resort to a six inch length of pipe insulation for comfort??

I think not!!

Kepp thinking lads...... someone could be onto a winner here!


Yes, it's an arm rest, but I believe that it's not there for use when the car is moving.

Best Wishes,
Peter

Coincidentally, I ran across this on a US forum post by a spammer and kind of laughed, but I guess it really is an issue for some. Wouldn't think it'd be too hard to make something similar, maybe a bit more stylish to the D3 though.

 I'm not so good at giving advice...may I offer you a sarcastic comment instead?

That is EXACTLY what I need! There is just nowhere for my right arm to rest. I end up wedging my elbow onto the top of the door, but it ain't comfortable.

I wonder has anyone manufactured those? If not, I'm gonna make one.

In the words of Victor Meldrew "You Cannot Be Serious!"

To the left of my drivers seat is a fold down Padded Arm Rest, is that also not to be used whilst driving?

Sorry, but that's the sort of comment I expect to hear from my Dealer Wink

You're not my Dealer are you? Very Happy
