PS I was at a wedding and lucky i was drinking thus leaving the 8 at home sleeping

 

Choppy:

Was out this afternoon in my '8, visiting friends, when the hail started (could hear it coming across the tin roofs). My car was parked outside, exposed to the weather (almost 95% ++ of the time it is parked under cover).

Got it under cover quick smart.

Two rounds of heavy hail, up to approx 2.0cm diameter stones.

Arrived home after the storm passed, to find the front and back lawn white with hail - same size.

Can't image that a pounding with this sort of hail would not cause some damage to the skin of the wonderful car.

Thank goodness I managed to get the car out of harms way!

still very happy Rx8 owner, hehehehe

My girlfriends 2003 325i was outside at her place, but i gave it a once over this morning and it looks OK. Leading me to believe that the BMW has a stronger body

 

I coped a hailing up here in queensland 2 or 3 weeks ago. it was no were near as bad as the sydney hail. probably 5mm or less. the car survived with only one dint and it wasn't on the aluminium it was on the roof!

 

argh... aweful luck these days.
It started hailing @ King George's Rd, while driving towards Bexley..
luckily, no sign of any damage, although it scared me a lot.
I came back home earlier than usual to park inside garage. I heard it hailed the size of golf ***** where I had been parking outside for hours..
