Did anyone watch ch 10 news?
If you did, I'm sure you will agree with me that they should have carried a warning that the "following scenes may cause distress to some viewers" There was a Black and White Mini Cooper in Sydney crushed to death in the storms.

I just hope it was no-ones on Mini2.

i didn't get to see that on the news..
BUT my mini was very close to destruction

i had it parked in my front driveway. (just outside the garage) and above my car is a metal decorative fence which is on a varander 2 stories up.. it actually fell off in the wind and smashed to bits..

this was after i moved my car into the garage thankfully

phheewwwwww

Yes Brett....I saw it on the later news. I thought it was our colour (BRG) but I could not really tell. I only hope the fatality that occurred in the storms was not connected to that Mini. My condolences to all though.

seems that the fatality was car related, just not the mini in question...
