MUST BE THE WEEK TO DIE!

It seems it is the week to die here in Australia. Firstly we had an eminent politician who had done a lot and was a good bloke and then the heart break of all heart breaks our beloved Steve Irwin and today we lost a great Australian racing car driver Peter Brock who strove to give back heaps to the community and was a great peoples bloke and would sit hours after an event and sign fans autographs. He had achieved a lot in his 61 years but today the country is in shock again. He was a touring car champion and won at Mount Panorama in Bathhurst N.S.W 7 years in a row. The sport of motor racing will miss him because even though he had retired he still had great input. He died today in Western Australia doing what he loved, sitting behind the wheel of a very fast car.

Deaths

That is so sad, Dawnie. I've always heard that plane crashes and celebrity deaths seem to happen in 3s.

Hey Dawnie ...

We over here in NZ are feeling it, first with Steve Irwin and now with the legend Peter Brock.



He was and always will be a much loved figure in Motorsport.



The Holden driving public (and I think even Ford are doing it too) are driving with their lights on in memory of Peter Brock and all his achievements. I think it is our small way of showing our sorrow at the loss of such a greatly influential soul.



My thoughts are with you.
