    Bloody Cyclone

    While im very greatfull that the cyclone that hit Yeppoon and Rockhampton the other week didn't blow my house away and all my family is safe and well. This hurts like a kick in the goolies. This was an almost rust free straight as a die HQ that I was going to do up. Oh well, salvage what I can and move on. For sale one slightly used HQ panelvan.

    Have you peeled off the tree to see what sort of damage there is?

    This was at my brothers place. He's looked and the roof is caved in at the windscreen pillars, so pretty cactus. Bonnet U/S and a set of genuine HQ GTS guards dinted but hopefully repairable. I live in Darwin so I will get done there when I can get away from work.

    That sucks mate!

    I had a neighbours tree fall across the front of a perfect low-mileage Torana in my backyard a few years ago and fortunately got away with a guard, the nosecone and the bonnet damaged. Prick of a neighbour wouldn't cough up either.

    The rumour mill says there's a HQ 350 GTS sedan with a tree across it, in Rocky.
