The authorities will have you in a list for this type of content.
They sure will, Hub nut aka the pantograph pervert!
He's now not allowed with 100 yards of Halfords wiper blade department 😀
Some of this should be wiped before screening
That was very hypnotic, my wife had to throw screen wash in my face to break the trance.
I've had a mild obsession with windshield wipers since I was a kid...
Yeah, I'm weird! :3
To some, this is less exciting than watching paint dry, but I loved it! Fascinating to see many designs we don't get in the US!
I stumbled here trying to find videos of wiper arm alignment. So glad I did! Love the pantographs!
same
I was too!
Me too
SAME
I'm obsessed with wipers
This was bound to happen sooner or later. We should have screen it coming.
My wife has just declared me nuts for watching a video about windscreen wipers!
Good man, but remember, you are NOT alone.
Don't worry, you are not nuts
If you think Mr. Hubnut is a little weird for making this video, keep in mind you watched a video on windshield wipers wiping!
Yeh, busted lol!
Dammit
And we all watched to the end, guessing what the vehicle is
I never thought there would be a bunch of people loving wipers as I do.
I am 16 years old and do always simulate active wipers with my arms. The mechanism of these wipers (especially the new types of wipers) is amazing! And you can test it by yourself with your arms on a table with things or so!
Lol same as well, i'm 12 and do the same thing like you do :)
Wow same I love wipers from 3years old to 13 years old now 😊
My favourite wipers ever are on a 993 series Porsche 911 - used to love the look and watching them in my Dad’s when I was a kid!
I managed to identify around 90% of the vehicles by dashboards alone.... More of this, please!!
The inevitable video we all knew would be made one day.👍
My favorit: that red Alpine GT v6
I liked the part where there were wipers.
I also liked it when the wipers where in time with the music.
Me too!
Which part of
All the wiper goodness
With the odd triangle of doom and a few areas of disappointment
Well that makes up for the lack of wiper action on Ellie.
Now that took some serious editing. Definitely worth the results though. 👍
Cheers. It's taken all day!
@@HubNut Worth it though Ian. The Triple Blades on the Hovercraft was absolute heaven. :)
I've just sat watching this & found it oddly satisfying I think. I'm. Going nuts
3:20 was rather satisfying, and I love the Saab headlamp wipers. The boat at the end was classy.
My whole outlook on wipers has changed completely since I discovered you Ian.' Dribblement of Despair' anywhere on the wiped area is my main gripe though tbh.
"...and climbing the charts, this week at Number 3, it's "Wiper Madness" by The HubNuts!"
Well that wiped a smile on my face!
Best - Alpine wipers. I also really like the clap hand wipers on 1970s Merc saloons.
Why didn't you do this before? Now I want more wipery!
Peak wipage was the SAAB headlight smudger. Perfection.
Idea: what about an indicator video. I do like a good indicator. Front or rear, I don't really mind. Just make each one long enough to give the feel of the cadence involved.
Hubnut gets my vote for internet winner today (again...)
You are on the naughty list for missing out the quirky Allegro wipers.
...so we the unwashed expect this on part 2 :)
Good to see some w124 mono wiper action👍 something this channel needs more of.
'Now that's what I call wiper action 2021'.........best HubNut compilation ever!
Hubnut king of windscreen wipers, 😁👍
I really liked that Nissan Bluebird rear-wiper, it's nice to look at in action.
I miss my previous car, a 2001 Volvo V70, because it had headlight-wipers, those were very helpful when driving in saltspray.
Just watched all the way through, how do you do it ? I’d of never watched a vid on wipers before, I’ve been hubnuted
I had a lovely wiper moment a couple of days ago - fresh powder snow and the pantograph wiper on my Audi A2. So satisfying!
the video i never knew i needed. So cool to see all the different ways and mechanism they use
No words needed just the wiper majesty, a seminal work
Quality wiper mash up! 😂👍
I started my day with wipers a la Hubnut. Awesome
I just spent seven minutes watching windscreen wipers, more than 95% of which I had already seen. I feel this shouldn't have entertained me as much as it did!
The Carver's wiper is in the class of its own.
I somehow missed that show.
I've been watching to much hubnut 🤣🤣 got in the forklift at work and went "ooh, pantograph wiper", only just noticed. Find myself looking at the wiper patterns on cars now 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Watched out of curiosity, kept watching because I really enjoyed the music, then smiled while thinking that this could only happen on Hubnut! It's why we keep coming back, content you won't get anywhere else.
Swish! You are spoiling us Mr Hubnut, we're dribbling!
Lol, I know I'm a sicko but that was fun. I particularly liked the single one at about 6.50. Very entertaining Mr Hubnut
How did I miss this?? Outstanding.
Almost like a commercial from the eighties, Love the Saab 99.
My wife has made a drinking game where you have to take a swig whenever you mention wipers. Thankfully it's usually only tea, or if be dead.
When it wiped, that was clean.
A true art form
I never used to pay much attention to the humble wiper before discovering your channel. Now I find myself looking at wiper patterns, searching for the triangle of doom and corners of disappointment.
My Ford C-Max has got lovely asymmetrical clap-hands wipers. Highly satisfactory.
I knew i saw a video like this coming!
I worry about you sometimes, I really do.... 🤣🤣
Finally! I found someone with the same weird fascination as me!
Poetry in motion! About the best wiper action you could possibly hope to see.
The award for the biggest triangle of doom goes to the Morris Minor with the opposed wipers, yay.
I'm looking forward to the Alpine A310 review
They still had them on the renault GTA V6 Turbo
I may have just had a mini crisis with the Saab headlight wipers. Genius design.
i just love seeing the variation of them!
I was going to comment on this video but the best quotes have all been taken in the 168 or so plus comments already. 6.54 of my life I will never get back but rather satisfying to watch. Ian how long did that compilation take to put together.
My word, this is marvellous. Bravo!
Some cars have great dance moves.
Well all I can say is what a groovy video Ian on your favourite subject of windscreen wipers. I intreaged to see what you come up with next for us to enjoy. Keep up the good work.
Peak Hubnut, at the start of the year! I missed the rotary headlamp wipers, as well as the BMW twin wipers. Maybe the sequel?
Yes, I did watch all of it. I have no shame.
I was nearly to the end of this clip and thinking of sending you a videos of my Stag and 2500S (which both have pantographs on the driver's wiper) when I caught the pantograph action on the red Stag and breathed a sigh of happiness and recognition.... You've thoroughly fed my fetish for a while with this video, mate. On behalf of the wiper fetishists everywhere on this little globe of ours, I thank you! An excellent cross-section of LH park, RH park, centre park, single, multiple, independent and (my personal favourite) pantographic. I am so pleased you indulged us!
I also love watching the speedo needles on the old classics (usually Smiths speedos are the best for this). I grew up with my Mum's A30 and its central speedo that had it's own dance that would change with the speed we did. They really add character with their gentle waving.....
I've just clicked on a video about wipers and the triangle of doom.who said 2021 would be boaring🤣🤣🤣
quite a compilation good action and a few TOD's delightfull
Seriously ‘weirdly’ enjoyable. 👍
Superb content Mr Seabrook. This little vid is a nice addition to my Boring Car Trivia volume 1 & 2 which my wife bought me for Xmas. Who'd have thought there was so many wiper addicts.
Yes, I've still got the secon volume to read...
Great edit, many thanks. Going out to check mine now!
This video appeals to me. I approve.
Wipers meant nothing to me until I found this channel...... I never knew the wife's Fabia had a service position on her Fabia to replace the wipers I always assumed they would not lift off the screen. Top Job Ian
That saabs headlight wipers just wow.....
I bet that was an easy edit, there must be wiper action in 90% or your videos. Very cool 👌
A manufacturer ought to make a vertical wiper that goes left to right at the top half of the screen and a vertical wiper that goes right to left at the bottom half both going fully left & right so nearly all the windscreen is wiped and the wipers settle at the top left of the windscreen & the other at the bottom right of the windscreen.
It would need like full length guttering/channels top & bottom of the screen for the arm to move in of course.
I think there would be a horizontal line of doom in the middle of the windscreen though lol.
3:23 looks more solid than many Barrier Arms I've seen
Thank´s Ian. I spent alot of this video admiring the car interiors and instrument binacles as well.
man am obessed with wipers
is satisfying
i feel a european tour coming up with Miss Hubnut ?😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Not sure why but I liked the Nissan bluebird rear wiper action!
1:54 honorable mention to Miller Corner
Don´t know what is more sad...you making this Ian or me wathcing it!
Thanks. I can see clearly now
Ian you bugger sitting in my no lights new clip ...... o ...er ..... hmmmmmmmmmmmm ,will never work out why i have a strange feeling for wet windscreens and rear screens . Relaxing music .. as the latest lock down finally sent you to the funny farm , yes i confess i had two nissan bluebirds ...... what a hypnotic wiper action ,what a fab car from the far east i still would love to get another one .......but no the kinks coming out.... lol , about to watch another action packed clip my foxanne mug ready with a hot cup per, biscuits ready . Relax ,EVERY ONE OUT, THERE STAY SAFE
That was mesmerising
I do have a thing about LHD wipers on a RHD car. You don't see it much these days, as modern wiper-action technology would make it far more of an issue. This was especially noticeable on the Citroën Ami electric you drove recently - driving on the left in a LHD car made it particularly problematic, but if you drove it in France you would hardly notice.
Ian, the Renault A310 Alpine seen at 0:27 are still the best looking pair in action.
unexpectedly enjoyable !
I need a lie down now... 😱
I always loved the wiper on the Citroen BX, with the washer on the arm, spraying, frugally, exactly where it was needed. I never refilled the reservoir. When it went for a service, they did this for me, and being honest people, they would hand over half a bottle of concentrate. When I took it for the next service, I would give away that half bottle.
Worst wipers were on the Morris Marina, which were fitted on the wrong side. The swept area was about 3" below my eyeline, but were great for a passenger. On the LHD model, they moved sides, making things bad for French drivers too.
The (single) wiper on my Daimler is just 6" long, and just about useless. However aerodynamics push all but the worst rain off to the side. Failing that, the top section can be opened outwards, though goggles might be needed!
An instant solution to insomnia. Hypnotic. 👀
3:16 this alone is worth buying an entire merc for.
Can we have a longer version with your comments audible? Not sure which are your faves! Maybe in order of doom? Great and important work tho in these difficult times! Love love
Got a favorite ?? Mine, the highly engineered single Mercedes wiper. Please continue with the wiper weirdness. ATP
Wipers aside, I really enjoyed his music 👍
How can 2021 get any better than 6 minutes and 54 seconds of hubbers wiper action? You tell me! I like to think Hubnut wrote and performed the music also.
Blimey!! Lot to absorb there! Wiped me out!! Highlight for me the saab headlamp washer...bloody lovely! Where on earth did you get that music!??
Wow, I think it was the saab headlight action going backwards and forwards like a squeezy!
what a thoroughly enjoyable video as always! well done!
The Nissan Bluebird's Pantograph Rear Wiper wins, arms down. Completely unnecessary but so super efficient at the same time.
Series 3 Land Rover wins the award for optimism.
I was wondering if you'd sneak in the clip from Twitter showing the wipers on HMS Queen Elizabeth!
Great fun video, although all that washer action sent me off to the loo several times, or maybe I am just old?
Thanks.
They are a vital part of every motor vehicle that is so easily overlooked and so many manufacturers have either not put enough effort into, got slightly wrong or created masterpieces of wiper mechanism goodness. I understand your passion for finding a decent wiper design and pattern. The Triangle Of Doom has ALWAYS pissed me off, it's a sloppy lack of attention to detail and should be outlawed. Keep up the good work :)
That was great.
In a (hub)nutshell, wipers of the 50s/60s were pretty grim!
Nice to see a couple from the longhaired trilby-hatted guy, I wonder if he will ever return?
Cool soundtrack!
How cool is this video....fantastic
Very enjoyable video, and good choice of non-obnoxious music. I would have liked to have heard your thoughts on different types of wiper setup, that would have been terrifically and deliciously nerdy!
