    Oh come on Nick, play the game.

    What the hell does it matter if it decreases grip & makes the handling worse?

    Breaking news!! Stretch is fine and not an issue.

    However it has now been determined through scienz that a single wiper conversion can have adverse handling effects. Especially when the blade is parked vertically. The vortexes of turbulence as the car moves forward should be able to mix and settle in the low pressure area of the scuttle. But the vertical wiper stops this happening with catastrophic results.

    That was due to a partial overdose of alcohol. [:$]
    I think I have paid my debts to society on that one, by being involved in the longest running election campaign since the dawn of man. :thumbup:
    Any word on results yet? [:s]
