Ahh the Europeans and their quaint range of fasteners. Always wondered why there were so many sockets in a set.

My Beta had exhaust pipe held on with M7s which had 11mm heads and we're so close to the pipe you had to use an open ender and it took about 10 minutes to do them up.

Still. If it weren't for the French we'd all still be using ridiculous sizes with an array of silly fractions and treads per inch.
That and Michelin tyres. OK two things are enough.
