This does not seem to be a good time to be an Australian.

Alasse is happy cause Orli is single again *L*

But as for Peter Brock...loss of a racing legend...with Bathurt coming up i'm sure they'll do some sort of tribute

And anytime is a good time to be Australian!!

Sorry for the loss of a hero! Do people admire racers in Australia like they do in America?

this man one the biggest automotive ledgend accross the world he was voted the worlds second best touring car driver of all time
evere since i first met him in 1985 he allways had time never rushed off or brushed any person off
was a bit of a perve as the rest of us our and was a genuine gentelman
he inspired so many young and old alike and will never be forgotten

His co-driver got out OK,so there is some good about it.

It is never a bad time to be an Aussie.

He was not familiar to me, but obviously to be doing it past his 60th year & still be revered says he must have been very good his work...& as was stated above, he went out doing what he loved, & that seems to be a thing we all admire, Australian or otherwise...
