    So who's car got hammered in the Perth storm??

    Mine escaped as its in the shop. My girlfriends laser wasnt so lucky, and apart from our bed getting covered in shattered glass and hailstones, my shed full of mk1 parts getting soaked, our garden also looks like someone cut loose with an AK47

    Crazy weather!!

    Yes! Saw many smashed up cars today. Our MK6 GTI had a few dents around the front, but luckily it was in a car port, nothing major.

    Indeed, I was stuck in peak hour(s) for 2 hours as it happened. Somehow managed to avoid all the hail and came out unscathed, don’t know how when there was so much damage near where I work (Ossie Park)..

    Although I almost drowned a few times in the puddles/flooding

    You're a lucky man! I'm at the Northern end of Herdsman Lake, nothing was spared. As for my 2 month old Golf, she's kept undercover at home

    I think they're gonna be writing most things off. Already have got 2 friends who've had their cheapies written off.

    My Jetta's was the audio store's workshop getting sorted. At least that's what they told me.
