Default One for the europeans...How many times have you...

I did it again today.

I leaned over to pull a cigarette from my packet, sitting in heavy traffic, sun blaring down, soft top open, and all of a sudden I was wet. For the folks that don't have this wonderful feature, it's a button where you guys have some kind of pocket thing, about 6 inches behind the cup holder/ashtray. It's easy to hit with your elbow when you're leaning into the passenger seat to find or grab something.

The people around me (if anyone noticed) musta been like...

ROFLMFAO@ that NOOB, he just soaked himself with his OWN headlight washers and then looked at the SKY!!! It's 100 in the shade!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! - Oh the shame of it.

Both my headlight washers spray water completely OVER the car. When I hit it, the headlights get washed, as well as the windshield, the hood, the soft top (or me if the soft top is down), the trunk, and potentially the hood of the car behind me.

Obviously they need adjusting. I'm seriously considering angling them toward the pavement for pedestrian fun. What's more, I have NEVER used them deliberately.

Next time we shall meet, I will pull the plug off underneath your console and you will be fine. I knew this issue before buying my first S and it was the first thing I did, outside the dealer.

Thanks Marios. My saviour.

To be honest, I don't know why I didn't think to do that when I changed the center console last week. :S
