Freak Australian weather..
Hi guys,
thought you may want to see this vid i took today..
The ice dented my focus ST on the bonnet and also cracked the bumper, my neighbours car which is a ford XR6 turbo wasnt so lucky his has 70+ dents in it.. our house roof was dented to f**k and people around us with roof tiles had them broken etc
Heres a pic of the ice blocks that fell from the sky first..
here is is next to a 24mm socket..
and the vid

Ouch , shame about the dents, but looked pretty mad in the video, think of the poor buggers caught out in the open in it
