Now that I have an Avant Robin, I think I need one of the 320kph wiper blade
modules for the rear window. While the window is rather vertical, I still
think I'm getting a little bit of lift when I'm backing down the driveway
out of the garage. It not such a problem for me here in Colorado as our
drive ways aren't so long. But it my understanding that the driveways up to
the trailers in the woods of our West by Damn Virginia contingent are some
what longer, and they are generally in more of a hurry to git to the liquor
store in the morning. A good high speed rear wiper could really do a those
folks a lot of good. Bob'd be able to read the instructions ("Dodge") on
the front to the pickups headed at him for example. So, Robin I'm willing
to serve as a test mule to help them get a good set of wipers.
PS Can I get a group purchase price break, since the rear only needs one to
make a complete set, or perhaps Bob Pastore will go in halves with me, since
I think he occasionally drives his Avant pretty fast in reverse, even if its
only in NJ.
Sincerely Yours,
Mike "Billy Bob"

~The fastest wiper blade is known as Der Neuermantelvonderkaiser,
~easily obtainable from any good German Auto house, I got mine from
~the Brothers Grim. Testing in the windtunnel and empiric
~observation under actual test conditions show that above 320kph a
~gain of up to 6 kph may be achieved, depending on the angle of
~attach of the car and the size of the dead zone at the
~bonnet/windscreen knuckle. Further tests show that the regular
~wipers cost about 1 litre per hundred kilometres, this is hard to
~quantify as in the real world atmospheric conditions play a large
~cost and this isn't something to test in the windtunnel, running
~that is very expensive, even if you switch off the floor (which
~doesn't go over 300kph anyway).

~Anybody wanting a set, I can arrange a GP for $27.80 plus shipping
