Put this video together earlier today, at first I was just filming because I was curious as to how the washers worked exactly..then I got this bright idea....

Great stuff Jason, and good music choice.
I always wondered what exactly was going on up there and now I know.
Thanks!

if anyone's interested in the technical aspects of the video, I recorded at 60 frames per second, and then slowed it down to around 15

@ PGT : I'm going to pretend I don't know what that means!

I would send it to mini and see if they would be interested in using the clip as part of a commercial.

That's great. Wonderful timing!

Instead of waiting for tiny wipers, I was kinds waiting for a bunch of chimpanzees to run and hoot wildly around the MINI

That's pretty cool. I thought the washers performed like that, but I had no idea the washer arm had to come so far out to do it. Very interesting and entertaining video!
