Ha ha ha... Probably will do no damage to it... I remember an episode of Top Gear where Hammond sat inside a Golf (Mk V??) and they simulated a lightning strike in some high voltage test facility - apart from flickering lights on the dashboard during the arc itself nothing exciting happened... When done the car just started first go and was driven off...

So far just one demo car was damaged, which was out in South Perth at the time. We filled the showroom and workshop before we left tonight as it is due to return, but so far all looks ok thank god. We didnt really get hailstones up north, just wind and rain.
On a side not I am not sure what all the fuss is about, feels like a normal Irish summer to me.
Hey guys,
What part of Perth got hit with this hail storm? I am from Perth originally...

Sounds like my story! Mine was a week old and some stupid mum (whilst waving goodbye to her son), reversed about 2 metres backwards into the front of me. Only a small scratch, but when your car is a week old.... GGGRRRROOOWL!
3 weeks after that, the storm hit....
Bye bye car.
If yours is anywhere near as bad as mine, you'll be in the queue with me for a new one.
Good luck with it all, Nic.

Not yet.
I've been told that the woman from AAMI (or someone from her team), that handles 'new for new' should call me by Thursday to let me know what's going on and to let me know what my wait will be.
So far everyone at AAMI has been very helpful. Hope this continues.
It will be interesting to see if there are any tsi's the same as mine in the country, or whether they will have to order another.....
I'm hoping theres one on the ship (due mid April) that I can have.....
Getting two kids off to different schools every day is hard work and I hate having to rely on other people. I know I'd do the same for them, but I don't know how long this is going to go on for.
