[Bmcu] June 11th, 37th Annual Scottish Days/Highland Games

[Aaron Sphar]

It is because of the short, near vertical windshield. The wipers have to be small to make the arc without hitting the top trim and there by would leave larger areas of poor vision if there were only two. More modern cars like the miata have more rake (angle) on the windshield allowing for essentially taller windshields and thereby larger wipers to cover more area.

Hi Brownie,
 
Seems I remember reading back then it had to do with sq. ins. per cent of wiindshield coverage of the wipers to windshield surface or some fool thing like that.  From Road & Track of the time.

OK, I am not sure that I need another colector car but I bought a 1976 MGB yesterday.  It is a fixer-upper but then as such the price is always better.  Big question for you all?  Why does it have three windshield wipers?

June 11th, this Saturday, from 8 A.M. to 10 P.M. will be the 37th Annual Scottish Days/Highland Games at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi.  This is a BMCU sponsored event but there is no contact person because it is just a "show up and park your car" kind of day.  

 

We have been directed to enter at the South West gate and park on the grass near there.  For those of you who have gone to this event before, it is the same as in past years.  For those of you for whom this is a new event, you really can't go wrong, there are plenty of volunteers around to direct you.  

 

We seem to be finally getting to some better weather!  Temperatures are supposed to be in the mid 70's and partly cloudy, but no rain in the forecast.  Should be a great day to be out with our LBC's.  Let's make it a great turnout.
