Sorry to hear about the mess.

I took the day off work to do some DIY. I work at MIRA, barely 5 mins up the A5 from R-Tech!
Was safely (just) on the drive in south Birmingham.

Think it was localised.

I'm the otherside of hinckley, nearer bruntingthorpe and we just got a ton of rain, with small hail stones, no massive hail stones thankfully

Nothing down here in Bedford.  Just humid.

I would be gutted if the vRS got battered.

So sorry to hear this guys  :sad1:

I'd be devastated to have my car subjected to that.

I got sat down on the plane from East Midlands to Rome at 7.15 this morning. I could see the darkness coming over from the window, but we didn't get any bad weather at all.

Landed at 11am to a shocking 34*C  :scared:
..........love Rome.Went in march & it was 28* then.

If anyone's cars have been seriously damaged. PM me, I know a chap who is the last word in PDR, and does tonnes of work in Europe on hail damaged cars and vans.

We were hit quite badly at Melton Mowbray. A few mates have got broken windscreens, passenger windows and tailgate, one guy reckons his car is now a write off as it will cost too much to repair all the dents...
Thankfully at work they seemed to be a lot smaller than in the middle of town and the wind direction meant my car was protected against a building so quite lucky really :)

Was playing golf yesterday at Burghley Park (Stamford) and could see a large lightning storm going off in the distance, it never got nearer than 10 miles from us tho and the weather was sunny 32 deg and VERY humid (I went through 3 litres of water during that round of golf in 4hrs!!), got home to sunny norfolk at 7.30pm and it was still 28.5deg then.

Sorry to hear about damage to cars tho, what a PITA
