...there was no time to react , just happended too quick ..i think pete might be able to confirm the size of hailstones...and i don't think anyone of us was game to run outside to pull the carpets out to place em on the bonnet even if we knew this nifty trick with carpets etc..for the fear of getting smacked in the head by a few...but i see your point about placing matts on the flat parts of the bonnet etc..

Nah! The biggest were bigger than golf balls. Disco_owner wouldn't let me take the carpets out of the house to cover my car (some host ).

PS: I've had a look at my car today and its got such a dented roof & bonnet that my fuel consumption will go up.

Hi Disco_owner,
I might have missed your post, but how did your car fare?

I got home and what do I notice the bonnet wasn't the only thing affected the roof was pretty damaged to which isn't a bad thing I had a nice dent on the roof from a shopping centre and the wife that needed repairing

Got home and the nabour 2 dodgy tree had fallen these a big gum trees one fell on his next door nabour on the other side smashing the roof of the house and the other on his own if it had fallen 90 degree the other way I would have copt it further to that I had a look at the olden bombadoor and the roof and bonnet is damaged on that to shhhhhhhhhhhhs

insurance willl be happy with me this week two car claims

I hope that you have comprehensive insurance on "the wife".

we couldn't take the Carpet out in time because it's got the dinning table resting on top it. hehe, seriously pete is your roof and Bonnet that bad?

i haven't really checked mine thoroughly either but don't particularly care about dents , it's got that many battle scars that I reckon Hail damage on roof and Bonnet would't be much noticeable.

The food looked very nice indeed, bad luck with the storm, hope the damage ain't too bad.
We got nothing our way, only rain friday arvo and sat & sun were fine just a bit cloudy.

Hey Man,
I consider it my plushmobile.

But seriously, while I was out the front, talking with my neighbour about the damage, the MD of the local Toymotor dealership showed up to drop off a part to my neighbour which was a warranty replacement (the part, that is ). He glanced at my car & said "I see you've got some hail damage".

Then he showed us the damage to the car he was driving (a Kluger that he'd "grabbed" off the lot). The damage was quoted at $3.5k, not including the concoidal (like a cut onion) fracture to the windscreen. I've not seen such a fracture in a windscreen before.

Apart from the windscreen, the damage to my bonnet & roof is worse.

I've tried to get onto my insurers, but keep getting the message that "Due to the hail storm they are receiving a higher than usual calls" & would I like to ring back later.

Unfortunately, as I write this, I can hear thunder.
