I was quite good with things that didn't involve the engine. I stripped an old Ford Sapphire door to get at the lock and window winder mechanism...would have been better if I didn't have to use a tap and die set to extract all the stripped bolts. And I managed to fit a 'new' mechanism from a scrapped vehicle. My missus (at the time) could then enter the vehicle by normal means.
But don't let me near the engine or the electrics...

I've got a 4gb Quantum Fireball that needs repairs, can I send it to you?

@ Karlos & Doobrey

Can I also add people to The Wall please? If so, these are the samples I would like to send:

1) All those lippy self-important ponces who get a thrill jerking us around when we need passports /driving licenses sorted out and they do their best to be obstructive.

2) The stupid women who rush up to a ticket barrier (on the underground), stand in the channel and block that gate for a good 15 seconds while they root around in their handbags for the fuggan travelcard. These are also the ones who are likely to take an eternity to pocket cash and card at the ATM, and also hog the till at a supermarket because they want to put the slip / card / change away in a SPECIAL PLACE in the goddarned bag.

3) People who don't wait for you to get out of a lift / train carriage. Instead, when the doors open they rush in like they're playing Quake and brush you aside.

4) Any muthafukka who does any of the following in a cinema while the main feature is showing: chatting, letting the phone ring, rustling a sweet packet, kicking seat backs, wearing swishy fabrics like wind-breakers, and eating the popcorn so that it sounds like 17 warthogs rolling around on a pile of twigs.

Ja, that's just for starters. I am sure I can find MANY more candidates for the wall. By the way, I can supply the machine-gun in the name of humanity.

If only it was legally acceptable to give them a Bud Spencer-style b1tch-slap too...those used to make me laugh
