Default Sydney - Hail Warning

G'day guys,
Just read this: http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDN65152.shtml

Thought it might apply to a few of you blokes Penrith/Richmond way, Large hailstones heading your way apparently. Best to get your beasties under cover.

There was a Hail Damaged BA at the salvage auctions last week. 70,000kms, everything was fine apart from no rear window and a dozen dents, sold for $4000! :

i was at work at lane cove luckily. so if we copped hail out here, i didnt get it.

and i'd be doubily p!ssed if i caught it.

cause i got caught in the last hail storm. and my car was 50:50 chance of write off. right on the boredline. but they went with repair. so any more damage would kill it. and i just spent a heap of money on it now that its getting fixed up again!!! :
