Is everyone ok after the Melbourne storms?
Hope everyone is alright!
Me and my D3 got caught in the storm in Melbourne City. It did a good job getting me cross the Elizabeth Street "River". However, the golf size hail has done some serious poundings on the panels that are facing towards the sky...
Now have about 50 dimples on the bonnet and countless on the roof... I have only seen one car got worst than mine on the streets so far. Hope insurance will cover.....

Jeeze saw those storms / flash floods on the news.
Sorry to hear of your damage, I'm sure you are glad you didn't have the alpine roof!
Unbeleivable the amount of water running down those streets.
They showed the story of the new Toyota dealer - 40m of new stock, a fair percentage hammered. Oh what a Feeling!

Women and their Golfs SWMBO said in reply to my "I'm going out to chase these storms"
"Your not taking the Golf under any circumstance"
I kept my counsel and did not reply (in the interests of future love & understanding ) except to say "No darling; I'm taking the Sport."Did you think I would leave you crying,
When there's room in my D3 for 7,
Climb in here Joe we'll soon be flying,
I can go just as fast with 7.
