Wassamatterwifya ? Im 63 with a fooked skeleton, and have just come in from working on the drive all afternoon.

I'm 67 and have always felt the cold.

me too!
at school i was nicknamed "hypo" cos i turned purple playing sports outside in winter.

I worked outside for years, so was pretty good with the cold, but Ive got softer and older now and feel it more.
I just try and wrap up warm, and keep moving as quickly as possible.
Doing front discs & pads on the Omega tomorrow for the MOT Monday. Hopefully that will be it until Winter is over.

I don't particularly enjoy working outside on the car this time of year, especially when it's down to near freezing temperatures. Keeping my core warm isn't the problem - it's preventing your finger ends from dropping off from the cold and being unable to feel the ends of your fingers to do the job in question. Appropriate work gloves don't help much, if at all...
Roll on Springtime ....

Fitted the new coil/module to mum's car yesterday, my hands hurt and it was only 2 nuts and bolts. Snow today so not looking at it till it clears as it still wont start, needs a new starter.

Ooops duplicate post, created in error!

Absolutely with you on this, I fitted a replacement battery to my neighbors Shogun yesterday after she failed to start, my fingers were like ice afterwards!

There was a time I'd have been rebuilding Omega engines in that.... but now, I'll just throw another log on the fire and wait for a better day! (Especially when I have to get under it!)
