An extra layer or 2 and a bikers balaclava under my helmet does me so far. Might invest in some gloves soon though.

Confused but excited.

You have to choose where you live very carefully.

Try going out in your birthday suit, it will be like swimming at the north pole naked.

I'm going to brave it, just need a windscreen, that's my only concession to the winter
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

I can cope with the cold weather - apart from my hands, which ALWAYS get cold. I've tried all sorts of options, including the Maplin gloves
(special offer at the moment - £9.99 a pair) but I'm not yet convinced.
I think I'll have to get some proper bikers' heated gloves sometime, even though they're approaching £100 a set... Can't
justify it at the moment though...

if you can still drive wearing them, try hien gerik monster claws, there warm as toas, still thin so you can tell what your holding, but the down side
is they put your fingers in pairs, which can make some things a bit tricky

more layers really and a hat. have got the irvin jacket so that should keep me snug, albeit a bit bulky, a down jacket with waterproof coat works
too.
gloves and what I discovered yesterday was long johns are required as they get quite cold. an extra pair of socks and sorted.
as long as it doesn't rain, no reason no to go out.

I find in the colder months i have to change from short sleeved to long sleeved T-shirts. Also ditch the shorts in favour of trousers but not much
more needed that that really.
I have heard a rumour that people down south wear coats, scarves and woolly hats but its unconfirmed
Has Hellfire Keith switched to trousers yet???? Thats the usual trigger that its getting cold Im sure Bob Johnson must have his number!!!!! Keith
in trousers = skitey bits.
(Those in Tyne Tees region will get that last comment).

LOL. Darren, you obviously don't know our old man well enough. The only occassions he doesn't wear shorts is at weddings, funerals,
christenings and trackdays. Even extreme cold weather doesn't phase him and he would sooner suffer hypothermia than wear a pair of
trousers. (Seriously!)
Personally, I go for balaclava under crash helmet, thermals under jeans, a windproof jacket on top of tee-shirt and jumper and warm
gloves.............. and NO I'm not the milkmans son. He be the one with hair But don't tell him I told you....

i drive my car every day, as it is my only car. Last winter i wore a tshirt, 2 jumpers, a fleece and a thin jacket, usual trousers etc. A bit brisk at
times, especially driving in to work for 6am, but bearable!
