Hahaha Farrrkkk me!

I woke up this morning pissed as i run out to find my bro had taken my car to work. I rung him up and abused him as i had no means of getting to work. I had beg my sister to give me her work vehicle.

While I was at work looked outside the windows to see the clouds went black then........ Boommm boommm!

Hail storm!! They were the size of tennis balls!!!

Damaged all stock. Smashed windscreens, shattered windscreens and panels were all gonneeeeeee!

Will be thanking my bro tonight for taking my car to work then straight home into the garage before this all took place!!!!! Oooh then i gotta break it to my sister somehow that she has dents on her bonnet, roof and boot the size of oranges. Thank god she gave me her work car.

Will try and post up some pics i captured.

Lucky I was at my parents house and the Beast was spared and only had a small ding on the roof but when i got home car #2 (fully sic Lancer) was damaged. Looks like it along with 1 million other people will be getting new paint jobs!

Parents had the WRX parked outside at Castle Hill yesterday..

Within 15 mins the storm had come and gone - Bonnet, Roof, Boot, Guards and Doors all fcked up.. :(

It's so soo frustrating, especially because you know how pristine the car was before, without a single paint chip, scratch or door ding.

Now it's the 2 hour wait on hold while you try and get through to the insurance company.

Glad your car avoided it Phil.

Fark sorry to hear Jonno!

Seriously this storm lasted for around 10 mins of total thrashing! A rental car we lent to customer about 5 mins before came back with over 20 dents! and like 15 holes in the rear window alone! I swear it looked like the car drove through Baghdad!
