Thread: Big Excitement is Brisbane

We very rarely get hail in Redcliffe, not sure why. Also seem to miss most of the storms. Perhaps they get drawn to the bays on the north and south, or drop their payload on the mountains to the west?

My Disco got hammered in the Valley last November. Dents in pretty much every panel, cracked windscreen. Insurance paid out and wrote it off as unrepairable, but I managed to buy it back at scrap value and re-registered it. Still drives fine, so suits me fine to have the cash in the bank instead.

One thing I wasn't warned about though was that the car is de-registered automatically, even with just panel damage, and you have to apply to have registration reinstated.

By the time I got the letter in the mail telling me so, I had driven from Brisbane to Proserpine and return. Oops.

We got 15mm out of last nights flash and bang,nothing out of this afternoon's, was at Caboolture Warbirds Museum and got both our aircraft down OK, they were returning from Prosipine after an airshow up there.
