So shocked, two great people nearly the whole of Australia looked up to. They represented Australia and it's people. All taken within a week. :(
RIP Peter

It is a very very sad week indeed. So many lives affected by the tragic taking of two Australian heroes. My sympathies to his family and loved ones. RIP Brocky.

My respect and condolences to Mr Brock and his family. He is someone I aspired to be as a kid and I am sure everyone will miss him, love or hate him he was a good bloke.

At least he went out doing what he loves. Despite the turmoil in his life, he was a great aussie. RIP Brocky.
On another note, I wonder how many VNs will be written off tonight in his honour? EDIT: That's got to be a record, 152 viewing, 30 guests

OMG!
I feel physically ill and literally have tears in my eyes. Irwin was a tragic loss, but as a motorsport fan, Brock's passing hits really hard. RIP Peter Perfect

as a forum member who was born in the 60's and therefore grew up with the name peter brock in all the papers I am very sad for the loss. as many forum members have said elsewhere, it is not necessarily the make of car you drive, but the love of cars that bond us. (no pun for colin bond intended) Yes a sad week for all australians.
