DIY disasters
I just can't do power tools. They always fly out of control and end up embedded somewhere they shouldn't. I've no idea how I've still got all the appendages I was born with.
Add to that the fact that nothing ends up square, able to support weight or free of sticking-out sharp bits and you can see why I try to avoid DIY.

Fiat's are pish
I can confirm this. Some time ago, my mate bought a brand new Fiat Punto, R-reg (which shows the age of the story).
Meanwhile I had a slightly aged, but quite magnificent G-reg Vauxhall Nova. In the 3 years that he had it, the Punto was back to the dealers maybe a dozen times. There were countless problems with it - passenger doors not closing properly being the most ridiculous one.
In the same period, my Nova was in the garage 3 times - for a service & MOT once a year. Then some fucker stole it and burnt it out. The saddest day of my life. :-(
