MotherGoose Forum Champion Registered: Mon Apr 22 2002 Posts: 5007 Loc: Western Australia	TV newsflash - Australia has lost another legendary figure. Apparently it has just been confirmed that Peter Brock died a short while ago in a car crash here in Perth. He was competing in some sort of rally at Gidgegannup (not far from where I live). _________________________ Don't say "I can't" ... say " I haven't learned how, yet." (Reg Bolton)

He was known as the King of the Mountain because of his record at the Bathurst track- he won NINE times there, at one of the toughest touring car races in the world. His full list of achievements can be seen here. A major loss to the car-racing industry and to Australians as a whole. _________________________ The key to everything is patience.

Brock was as gutsy an Aussie as they come and his death will no doubt cause sadness Australia wide. I`ll be turning over a glass for him with a few mates tomorrow night.
