The kilometres are getting too high in both my cars. If I could find a decent hail storm I wouldn't be worrying at all. Well, maybe I'd be worrying that it wasn't a good enough storm? :)
Pickles,1st sign of Hail head for the nearest under cover Servo.
Or if near a shopping centre head for the underground carpark.

Bit hard though if out in the remote areas.
My Disco was written off in the Brisbane city storm in November last year. What that meant in practical terms is the insurance paid out it's value, I bought it back at scrap value, and I'm quite happily driving around a 15 yr old dimpled car that otherwise drives very well, with most of the (limited) cash value of the car sitting in the bank offsetting the mortgage, rather than depreciating in the driveway.
Have been hoping my wife's car would get the same treatment, but no luck to date.
I do have to say, though, that I've been through 5 cyclones, including through the eye of a Cat 3, and none of those were as scary as being in a car in that storm.
Just a little storm in Brisbane, in November.

The cars I care about are kept garaged.... If I'm out driving them .... well **** happens :) There isn't any point in owning a car your scared to drive :angel:
the poogoe 407 and old rangie are the general daily run-around vehicles.. If either of them got written off ....... Who cares, poogoes are a dime a dozen, and the rangie could be replaced with a nice LSE that I'd stick a proper gearbox in :wasntme:
