Just thought I'd let all you guys know that there is a bloody decent storm heading towards Melbourne right now.
Just went through Ballarat not long ago, large hail is a coming. So large in fact I'm just about to call my insurer, I didn't get my car covered in time as there was no warning and now it's roof has lots of dents :( Not happy.

If it does get written off, the payout figure will allow me to upgrade to the 180. That'd be rather nice.

Nothing here in the Macedon Ranges yet except some thunder, lightning and light rain.
Got nothing to put our cars under, so hopefully we don't get any hail. |

Looks like it can be saved by PDR though! Albeit 3k later.

It seems that hail damaging cars is a recent occurrence (well in the last 10 or so years anyway) along with the usual insurance write off. Are cars being made with thinner metal today or is JC and Big Daddy chucking down bigger lumps of Ice ?

i missed the hail, but it bucketed down on my way to Williamstown on the western ring road last night, quite a challenge with 3 lanes of cars and almost invisible line marking thanks in part to the never ending road works, the raked back windscreens of all these modern cars do you no favours in a storm either, it`s a walk in the park in a truck..
