Why is that we don't work on our cars much in the Winter - or is it just me? Any of you going to be doing some work on a car in the freezing cold wet windy weather?

Well many of my friends work on theyr cars over the winter to have it ready by the summer. I don't know if it's an Icelandic thing or something but I don't know anyone that puts the work on his car on hold just because the winter is comming

I never work on my car at all other than to set tyre pressures; fill windscreen wash tank and check oil. Even oil check is needless as there's a level indicator on the instrument panel at startup - seems pretty accurate to me over the last 80,000 miles. O, yeah, and I can change lamps but that's it!

I'm no mechanic.
