hahaha. speed holes was the first thing I thought when I saw my bonnet too :D

I just got back from up the coast...

Both my vans are hit (all custom air brushed too) & my company Corolla is hammered, bro's gf car too.

Roof tiles, ceiling, windows & carpet at my mates place.

To top it off, my bro was using 1 of my vans to move house & it rolled down his drive way into his mates ute too, so hail + tail light & 1/4 pushed back/kinked!!

Oh well, it WAS a good weekend, I hope Mr insurance man is nice.

Oh, and I'm sumburnt as f**k too

Feel sorry for the owners of the other cars, but how can own such cars without current insurance always gets me.

The EVO 9 had the insurance expire two weeks ago. The insurance company would not renew it this week because of the forecast storms. The other cars are normally stored inside but was working on two customer cars so had the others parked uncovered but secured. The Pajero (my sister's car) was about to be registered and insured this week. R33 GTR was under a carport but the hail was coming down sideways and it got hammered. R32 GTR got hammered as it was outside. All in all, 10 cars got smashed. What was worse than all of this was he was driving the EVO with his baby daughter in the back. Hail cracked the rear glass and he just managed to get her out before a tennis-ball sized hail stone went through the rear window and smashed through the rear parcel shelf. Very lucky little girl.

The storm sounded bad from Penrith as it rumbled through and was black looking towards the city but we didnt get a drop of rain, lucky coz our driveway is more full of cars than a carpark.

I was just in parked in Pymble when i heard it starting...Ran to the car, and luckily there was a dude(Matt) that works for Dominos that parked his wrx and another Peugeot under cover behind the shops and showed me where to drive in. I just stopped the car when the hail started getting massive....phew soo close :D

sorry to hear about so many pl with dents n smashed windows tho :D

That's crazy, I live in Pymble, and know that WRX through friends of friends that work at the same Dominoes... In fact, I saw it parked there today...

I seriously didn't notice shit... did it even rain in pymble?

Man, guitar hero makes you oblivious to the world around you...

my car fuct!!!!....roof has heaps of dents and bonnet is a write off, so im gonna get a carbon bonnet

sux to be me.....i was working and the hail car out of nowhere

first thing i did was grab cardboard from the rubbish bin and then ran and put it over my roof...i had to hold it on my car

now my body is covered in massive bruises...and one massive hail stone hit me in the neck and i cant turn my neck

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
