Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Italian made products which have let you down
Italy.
A beautiful country, populated with passionate and creative people who gifted us the rennaissance, many priceless works of art, literature, science and architecture which has stood against the ravages of time for centuries.
Indeed, two thousand year old Roman aqueducts still supply Italian cities with drinking water - a testament to their engineering skills.
So why the fuck does my Italian made car display all the longevity and engineering integrity of a sponge trifle?
Anyone else here have any stories about crap Italian made products which have let you down at the worst possible time to be met with a shrug of the shoulders from a customer care department and the immportal line "It gives the car/fridge/washing machine/etc character", before quoting you an utterly astronomical fee for replacement parts which cost all of 10 pence to manufacture.
