Hail on Central Coast

rob_o · 02-02-2005, 07:26 PM

Did anyone else get this much hail damage. I went out to cover up the car but I was too late. I havent got any pics of my actual car, but here are some pics of the hail and neighbour's cars. Most pics soon!

That's friggen massive!!!! We got some storms in Syd, some very heavy rain, but no hail in the city during the day. I saw the electrical storms late last night and raced out and covered up the Datto. Not having a garage sucks ****!

Oh there was hail in it alright! The lads EF copped it in Richmond, only had it a fortnight and no insurance. Trying to tell him golfballs go quicker with dimples, but its not working

my worst nightmare - thank god it don't get that bad down this end of the world too much.....(touch Wood)

****! now there are some killer hail stones

rob_o · 02-02-2005, 08:11 PM

Ok the pics of my car dont really show the damage, but the bonnet, roof and boot are damaged, as well as the front windscreen. Maybe pics would be clearer when it dries up a little. All the cars in the street are badly damaged.

Shit i need to get a cover for my ED, so far we havent copped anything here (nelson bay) *quickly touches wood*

Got all of about 1/2 a dozen large drops of rain up the northern end of the coast - where abouts was all the hail - what suburb?(by the looks of things) I be guessin down pt claire way

hehe, i had to drive to Pennant Hills this afternoon from Campbelltown, on the Cumberland Highway near Parramatta stuck in traffic we copped it. I saw one the size of a golf ball bounce off the tarp of the ute infront of me! Pretty scary driving as well, wipers were near useless as it was raining that hard. :S I haven't had a chance to check out the EF in sunlight, but doesn't seem to have any damage thankgod!

mfg those hail stones are nearly the size of tennis balls

Yes, the one holding the hail is my g/f lol.

There was 1 spot in the garage for another car and it was either mine or hers, so I put hers in. Yes, its a Holden, but I'd rather my 86 Magna with all its problems go to waste rather than an original 75 LH Torana with 90,000 original k's on the clock get wasted.

I just got the local paper, there are hailstones slightly bigger than the ones in the photos I showed. They look a bit bigger than a tennis ball. This is the biggest hail I have ever seen in my life. I tried saving my car but it was too late. I got pounded in the head and it hurt, and I had a blanket over my head at the time too!

Im not too worried about my car, as it wasnt work anything to start off with. But Im still annoyed at the fact it happened. Everyone's cars on the street got ruined. The bloke 2 doors down got quoted $40,000 damage on his toyota avalon.

Pics of my car now that its dry, pictures dont show the complete damage tho...

Paris Hilton · 03-02-2005, 10:30 PM

03-02-2005, 10:49 PM

She's quite happy that the car is ok, but she feels really guilty at the fact that I gave up a spot in the garage for her car. Everyone keeps sayin that it was a really nice thing to do for her, which i agree. Oh well, life goes on I guess.

The For Sale sign has been there for a while, but who the hell wants to buy an 86 magna? No-one! I dropped the price down the day before the storm, so I guess I gotta drop it again. Its worth very close to nothing now.

if you had the time you could wreck it your self (Strip it) and you'd prolly get more for it!
