Clio injuries...

[mctw]

The amount of times the wind has moved the bonnet on my Mk1 Clio and the little arm has unhooked itself... its alright until the wind blows the other way... Makes a nice lump on your head!!

Typical scratched and cut hands doing general maintenance eg changing bulbs, tightening exhaust etc.

Most comical mistake was when under the car changing my seats over. One of the bolts was stupidly tight and after really yanking it came loose however i hit myself in the head with the wrench. I then moved my head away out of instinct and smashed the back of my head of the concrete floor. FML

Had a headache and a lump for a bit but no other damage

Glad this isn't a picture thread.

It pays dividends to have a car-lift to your disposal.

Changing the oil filter is a good one if you dont remove the fuel rail cover and do it from above. Plenty of "teenage angst" style scratches up your arm doing it that way!

I had just travelled a 300mile round trip to Newcastle and picked up a brand new yozza exhaust.. Finally got home and took the back box into the kitchen where my family eagerly awaited, I though it would be clever to walk in playing it like a trombone.. So I walk through the door and lift it to my face at the same time hitting myself full on in the eye with one of the metal exhaust hangers :S I had a massive black eye for a few weeks thanks to this

Other than that a few small cuts from the spanner slipping off bolts..

FLOL! Hahaha that's properly given me the chuckles mate, kind of thing I'd do... Bet you got no sympathy?!

I must admit that also made me laugh and sounded exactly the sort of self inflicted pain/suffering that happens to me...
