Tight lines <*)(((((((((><
Two of life's gentlemen have left us this week. But rest assured they left the world in a better position in which they found it. I can only aspire to that same claim. Both will be sadly missed. Heartfelt sympathies and prayers go out to their families, friends and of course their fans.
Vale Steve and Peter.

Live every day as if it's your last - for one day you're sure to be right!
Thanks Peter for all of the memories, the Sunday's gathered around the TV, the fun, the thrills. You will never be forgotten.

A few years ago I was driving along Dohles rocks rd nth of Brisbane-a notorious spot for speed traps-when all of a sudden this Volvo comes screaming up my rear end obviously frustrated at doing 60kmh and in a wild hurry,as we pulled up at the Anzac ave lights I looked over to see what this guys' problem was and who should be sitting there but Peter Brock himself!!, winding down the window he gestured for me to do the same, "oh hi I was just wondering whether you saw that green light?" says Brockie, as I had been a mad keen HDT fan as a teenager all I could say was "bloody hell Brockie what are you doing in a volvo?",he explained that he was racing one and asked if I'd like to come along to Lakeside raceway and watch him practice but I had to 'be somewhere' so I stomped on the throttle of my Holden v8 and "blew his doors off!!".
PB epitomized the Australia a lot of us grew up in and certainly inspired many of us to change the dodgy path we were taking at a young age and get interested in all things mechanical rather than the usual pitfalls such as the all too prevalent drugs etc.My personal highlight after years of religiously watching Brock racing was the 1979 Bathurst race where he was setting lap records in the A9X Torana whilst just about all of the opposition had retired with blown engines etc due to the very hot conditions.Brockie will be remembered by many as king of the mountain and Aussie motorsport during an amazing period spanning the late 1960's thru to the mid 1980's-thanks for the great memories Brockie!!.

He put Toranas on the map...RIP Peter 'King of the Mountain' Brock.
I thought there was a tread started saying, show your tribute to Peter BROCK.
Well 05 here is mine.
