Having owned my 1977 Midget for 8 years I discovered today that the wipers
are supposed to park themslves in the proper place when you switch them off
!!
Mine don't, and I have got pretty slick at getting them to stop in the
"park" position (lots of practice in rainy wet UK !) I think I would miss
the entertainment value if they were fixed.
But How ?
My single brain cell cannot grasp the concept of an electric motor that
goes on running after you switch off the power. Is it sort of X - files
technology ? Even smarter is the idea that those wipers work out just how
much longer to run for before they stop in just the rigt place.
Now I can accept that for a "new" car that has the benefit of silicon chip
technology, but in a 20 year old car ???
