I was driving my 2L in an autocross event with a wet course. Coming out of a
corner, I ran through a deep pool of water, which splashed a lot of water on
the windshield. I quickly tried to pull the wiper switch under full throttle.
I accidently pulled the throttle knob instead, which held the the throttle wide
open. This was a very scary situation with a combination of no visibility and
full open throttle. I'll disconnect that cable if I ever drive on a wet course
again.

In regards to the throttle knob, it was commented:
> It is a mechanical "cruise control".
Oh, please, don't say that even in joking.
Someone may believe you!
It's useful to adjust the carbs (set for 2000 rpm and balance
the airflow), and warming up in cold climates. Other than that,
it's best left alone :-)
I don't think it's on the early cars, is it?
