Was watching the news today on channel 10 in QLD and they showed some footage of the hail in sydney and in the centre of the frame was a silver FTO with hazard lights on getting pounded by hail. Wonder if it was someone from here?

Wasn't mine
Yeah I saw the late edition on Ten but didn't notice any FTOs? But I was reading the paper at the same time...Only decent car I saw was a BMW Z3 hastily covered with a blanket and debri all over it. Glad the hail wasn't up here.

The hail was pretty bad but i don't think its was strong enough to damage the car...
but sydney did look cool with the white blanket..

I watched the late-night Channel 10 news as well, but didn't spot the FTO.
I did see the woman with her Z3 and that dude in a nice black Jag (I think), hiding underneath the toll booth. Don't blame him at all!

yeah.. some places got hail like mid-day.. where i was, it started hailing like in the evening.. didnt seem like much though. Looked like it'd just snowed when i walked out side.

i remember a while back, maybe a year ago, when melbourne got that nightmare hail that smashed windows and stuff. damn cricket ball sized hail stones. i also remember me and the missus running outside with about 6 dunna covers from our bed and the closet and covering the FTO. her car got dammaged, but its an old camery so its thick skinned and held out well. my naighbours bmw got hammered hard core, his roof was shocking, the FTO was untouched thanks to our quick thinking, unfortunatly all the covers were drenched so we had to sleep at a friends house that night LOL
but the FTO lived!!! MUAHAHAHA
