Most definately not...

You're braver than me in this weather

**AntSSSS** · 20th December 2010, 21:28

Yeah - lol... TBH whilst I was doing it I was thinking 'am I mad'... lol

Worth it in the end.. Was for a friend of a guy at work and you have no idea how much the dealer wanted to charge him for the work above!

Haha I agree. Changed my plugs to iridiums a few weeks back in the early minus figures...

Did the HID's today at -5 with snow upto my shins lol. No gloves though... can't risk losing any screws or owt... I find a scarf and hat with your jumper and jacket etc will keep your body warm enough to regulate your hands

Although... being a Mechanical Engineer in the army... it beats being on a training exercise lol

At least you had some decent gear to wear. Speaking of which, where do you get the Snap-On etc clothes from? I've got some from my dads mate for working on the car but they're past it now. Were very tough though. Looking at gloves, pants jacket kinda thing.
