hail stones
The golf ball size hail stones just beat my bonnet up. Couple of decent sized dents, but should count myself lucky as some cars in town are covered and quite a few windows gone through.

Must say I've never seen owt like it. Went from daylight to dark in minutes. My dads car suffered the same fate too. Would of thought most the alu panelled cars are all pretty battered in this area.

Just got back from a Germany/Austria trip and whilst in Fussen there was a severe hailstorm – size of golf ***** which left one or two dents….
So, I ask myself, is it worth the hastle of parking carefully to try to avoid the wan4ers who use your car as a door stop? Not sure if this is covered by insurance yet.

This photo was taken about 1.5 - 2 hours after the storm and the temperature during the day had been in upper 20s.

What’s doubly annoying is that the roof was brand new back in January after a plank fell off a lorry coming in the opposite direction.
