R.i.p Peter Brock

Post by ragekornbizkit »

Just heard on radio that Australian motor racing legend Peter (Perfect) Brock has died racing. He will be sincerely missed

What the hell?! :o

This is getting too weird...Irwin killed by an animal, Brock killed a few days later in a CAR CRASH of all things.

Wonder what Greer will have to say about him <_<


RIP Brocky

Extremely sad to hear about this. I saw Brock in his rally car this morning in the streets of Perth whilst I was walking to work.

Another Aussie icon lost. I grew up watching Brock win Bathurst, I even got a Commodore cause of Brocky.

RIP Peter Brock

Kylie went pretty close this year. Hopefully not the Body. She's still got a few good years left in her.

I'm just surprised it wasn't a Holden that got Brockie!

Colin Thiele also passed away this week

...author of books like Storm Boy and Blue Fin.

I only remember hearing 1 or two news stories about it this week though

So it's RIP for Irwin, Brock and Thiele this week.

Maybe wherever they are now Steve is being driven around by Brock in a Commodore catching animals and Theile is writing about their adventures.

Thats the three now hopefully

I was worried about John Farnham personally, hopefully ( :unsure: ) this Thiele guy has made up the 3 though...
