A friend's C63 has been been battered by tiles; at least one headlight broken, bonnet, both wings, both bumpers dented and/or scratched, windscreen broken, etc etc :(
most of those are the expensive AMG specific bits too - that'll be a BIG bill...

Yup, I wonder what availability will be like as well. He's not had it long either :( The bit that surprised me, his excess is only £150!
It's silver; here's hoping he doesn't get it back looking like an addition to your front wing album.

It’s not bad considering a tree fell on it…………

The wind's dropped, the sky is clear, the moon just showing its face. I'm caught between fancying a night drive and cba.

I've been having similar thoughts on a few nights recently, but a) don't have a car and b) its been getting really cold at nights here so not sure how spirited it would be with the state of the roads.
Cheers,

Mike.

I don't know about anywhere else but we've got 40 -odd hours rain forecast. I don't know how heavy, either way it won't help already flooded places.

I'm surprised I haven't seen that 940 in a Ukraine - Russia meme.

I missed this last week somehow. Ouch!

Ridge tiles are heavy bastards - even the palm sized pieces I picked up could do some real damage if you got clocked by one.

A colleague was telling me they lost a few ridge tiles at their last place and they landed edge into the lawn, half into the ground :shock:

He's only had it about six months as well, probably not even that long.
That's the problem when the wind's like that, seemingly small things (e.g. compared to tree falling down) can do disproportionate amounts of damage. There's been lots of smaller bits of debris on the roads after the storms that looks ripe for damaging undertrays etc. Maybe this rain will tidy it up a bit.

Tiny covering of snow in the early hours of yesterday and today. The 7 miles, pretty much arrow straight road, I use daily has been closed both days due to accidents. One was a 5 series that had spun and ripped the side open on a crash barrier, today was an E class coupe that had done the same thing.
