ChristopherJames Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Well not sure if this crazy whether hit everyone but it hit Leicester and it hit us bad. We had hail come down like a water fall and it was the size of golf balls :-s I work at Lexus and most of the cars outside are covered in dent and my 350 didn't get away with it but only suffered two from a quick inspection. Did anyone else experience this wheather? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R35LEE Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Was bad hail in Middlesbrough too but not big enough to cause any damage. I think I will be seeing a few expensive cars coming up to see us at work from Leicester. Already had 2 calls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spud Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Was like Florida here last night without the sun after!!!! Floods everywhere yet still people race through the water and wonder why they get stuck. My car is filthy too and I darent wash him in case it just scratches to bits! What is the best way to do it? I've read some of the detailing posts but this is all over the car. As for that GTR, how I feel for that guy he must be devastated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Sorry for my dyslexia. Don't take it personally, it doesn't matter weather you spelt it right, we all knew what you meant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherJames Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 At lunch today we had 16 quotes sent out all around the 6k mark to repair damage from the hail. I work not too far from the centre of the city and it was bad enough to do a bit of damage but as it moved out to thurmaston that's where we have seen most damage coming in from. As soon as we have the first car come in I will get a photo up to show how bad. I have even heard of a few having windscreens smashed in :-s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pictures dont do it justice either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pictures dont do it justice either Mine is in exactly the same state, and I'm in the only part of the country still under an effing hosepipe ban and there's no way i'm using waterless cleaner on sand, so I guess it's staying there for a while DB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
