Worst working weather ever -
Had the car on a ramshackle set of stands and bits of wood to work on the brakes, temperature was about 0/1 degrees and it'd been pouring/hailing for 3 hours so I was soaked to the bone and freezing anyway....was not a nice job either as every bolt was solid and corroded, but anyway.
As I was starting to find it too difficult wallowing in the foot or so of mud around the car (Phil will know what I mean, it was in our backgarden and had been raining all week!) it started proper hailing down again, big chunks.
I thought "oh well, finish this caliper and head back in" (was getting dark too) so buried myself in the arch. I could hear my dad laughing his head off from behind me so sat up, to get a big wedge of cold stuff down my neck - it'd started throwing snow down and had built up in my collar.
Was funny at that point though
