HIDs or Night Breakers will improve visibility no end (sorry about slight diversion from topic, but my Coupe glow-worms are a serious and dangerous flaw)

Can't say I've ever had that issue... I did have my wiper arm snap in half once though

Poor anti-corrosion protection at the inner seams in the bonnets. They rust from the inside before you get a chance to do anything about it. It is no longer financially sensible replacing a bonnet on a car worth so little even if one could find a new or good old one frown

Good God, you must have been shifting, I have never had that problem even at 105!

140mph was the speed at which my wiper lifted off and slipped around on the spindle so it was stuck at the top of its 'sweep' across the windscreen.

This was on the autobahn I should point out!
