My first car was a Torana. I always considered Brocky to be a legend.

Rest in peace mate.

Sad to hear about this another Aussie Legend gone but now the media is gonna be non frigging stop talking about Steve and Peter now, like we don't need to know every bit of info.

This is very very very sad I cannot believe this and I just heard it on the radio as I was driving home..

I'm still in shock and theres one thing I will always remember about him as strange as it sounds. But two years ago he walked right past me in person while I was competiting at Oran park raceway with my radio controlled car.

I looked up at him and there he was standing right in front of me smiled and then walked past me.

That image has always stayed in mind and no doubt always will.

This is such a sad sad day...

I have to ask the question who is next?






Why does this not surprise me.. After all it is eBay!

These blood sucking parasites need to be lined up and flogged and anyone with half a brain and common sense would not even consider buying anything from these scalpers...

What a week.

I'm really upset about this. Peter Brock was one of my Heroes growing up, and although a little whacky here and there, had one of the best outlooks on life you could ever find in a human being. He did more for Motorsport and Cars in General in this country than most others put together, and whether you loved or hated (should be very few there) him, he will be very sorely missed. RIP MATE.

tradgic guys...
at least he went doing what he loved, in one of the most beautifull replicas ever built(cobra coupe).
i hope the co driver is okay,
and also that this does not have a detremental affect on events such as targa tazzie, and targa nz,
even as a ford fan, and a kiwi, this is very very saddening....
