Default storm,

a storm harder then predicted went over and a 3,5 meter trampoline got airborn , and landed on my 928. it was a miracle ,not a single scratch !
the windshield wiper took the hardest hit and some plastic broke , but thats all.
the windshield was only a few months ago replaced. this could have been mutch worse.

the trampoline is trash.

Wow. Glad the car is OK.

How about the Riviera, was it indoors for the storm?

the riv is always indoors,
the porsche should be, but my lazy ***....

it was difficult to take the trampoline away without damaging the car, that thing is large , flexible and heavy. i was allone at home and the wind was strong so just pulling it away wasnt easy.
i think it landed like a parrachute on the car , it flew more than 8 meters from its place.
