Guys, i just recieved a few emails from various sources reporting that hailstorm will hit sydney tonight.
So park your Pride and joy/s into the garage!! 
and park the P.O.Ss out in the open.
I'll start by parking my Nissan Skyline Shitbox HR31 wannabe

Corona is sitting at the station in one of the suburbs supposed to be getting hit oh well. I have doubts on the hail actually hitting the car though, round my area if we have hail it follows the river. Other week fucking hail everywhere about a 2 minute drive from my house yet we barely even got rain.

Heed the warning, last year I was up in Sydney, heard a warning on the radio, told the GF it was just being talked up and we should just keep driving.
Her car now looks like a golf ball

My cars been caught in hail before albeit small stuff but survived fine. Oh well not much I can do about it sitting in an office an hour away. If it gets damaged I'll just continue to park it at the station.

hmmm... i'd say put the 2 sprinters in the garage, take the big commodor out, take any mattris you dont need and strap them on the roof of the commodor and the KE70, AE71 and TA22....
thats what i did last year and saved my shitbox 31 a lot of damage.... i put 2 mattris on top of the roof, and it stretched from the bonnet to the boot, so i was safe.

yeah might put some blankets on the sprinter if it comes to that, but outside it looks sweet atm.
im not a fan of the bricks too much, enough wind can send them flying causing more damage. but it would have to be alot of wind i'd imagine.
