Sky News is reporting PB was killed today at a racetrack in WA when his car hit a tree.

Hope they are wrong...

It is real Gomez.

RIP PB

Will the stig be next ????

 

He was competing in the tarmac rally Targa West 2006. He'd just got in from London, his flight arrived so late that his co-driver qualified the car for the prologue.

Sad news indeed.

 

Shocking week all in all!! Very sad news, another pretty damn nice bloke!

 

In a bizarre connection to Steve Irwin's death, Brockie was at the Goodwood Revival Historic meeting in the UK last week.......driving a Corvette Stingray.

 

Burning the candle at both ends specially at his age is a NO NO , JET LAG AND DRIVING FAST CARS IS NOT A GOOD MIX .

Pity i have fond memories of his racing days .

Heading out on the town tonight and i will have a drink and a few lap dances for PB AND SI .

Michael

 

He was 61.

 

Sad to hear Gomez. Cheerio Pete...

And just up the road from here too. Gidgie is the next place along from us.

I spotted a grey RX8 in Mundaring this morning (rego: --LUVNIT or, similar) with a sticker on it for RX8club.com.au on it (that's the one Timbo and Hymee run isn't it?). Just popped back here to see if it belonged to a poster here, but saw this thread instead... Maybe the driver was off to watch the Targa?

Bummer...

 

two household names getting killed while doing what they do best...
RIP to both of them..

 

Yeah, I guess they died doing what they loved.

We should all hope for that same fate.








It means that I will die licking the chocolate from the back of a midget hooker

 

RIP Brockie.

At least he went out doing what he loved and had a few more years on the planet than Steve Irwin (no little kids either).

He had a lot of mates in the media. The frenzy is gonna be intense.

Must be the week for sad news. Found out this arvo that a mate's second bub has come up with a major defect on ultrasound.

 

Is this what it takes to get you to a Sydney cruise SM?

 

Good to see you back here BVD - long time no see.

Sorry it has to be in such a sad thread.

 

From that fate I prob never die at work.

BVD - nice to see you around again.

 

Oh man RIP Pete.. I shall treasure your autograph forever

 

Oh, that's sad news

Still, as they say...oh that we can all die "on the job" so to speak

 

For anyone that owns 1 of the 500 holden Brock specials , THE VALUE OF THIS ALREADY COLLECTIBLE HAS JUST INCREASED GREATLY .

Michael

 

When I read that I was shocked. I'm still shocked.

He was doing what he loved though, at least that is consolation. I'd hate to die in this place!

 

This is very sad indeed. So long, King of the mountain.

 

Tis a sad week for Australia.

He will be missed.

I am really concerned that a lot of high profile, generous, charasmatic people are dying, it could mean that I am next.

 

Poor taste and appalling timing

 

Just stating a fact.

If you dont like it though ebay is full of Steve Erwin goods for sale as no doubt will Peter Brock paraphermalia be there as well .

Timbo... Tommorow is promised to no one so enjoy Today, everytime you get mad , upset you get closer to a heart attack , stroke etc just ask TAKA .LOL LOL

Michael

 

True King of the Mountain!

RIP Peter Perfect!

 

He was a legend over here in NZ as well .
He was one Aussie I used to like watching even when he was wasting the kiwi drivers.
