    Would it be soft if I said watching this brought a tear to my eye?

    YouTube - Bathurst 1987 - Brocky in the wet

    As with Tim, he has always been my hero, since before I could talk. I was lucky enough to meet the man on quite a number of occasions, and will never ever forget how kind he was, he always had time for me and all the other fans.

    This sums up the attitude of the man:

    “I don't wish to be everything to everyone, but I would like to be something to someone.” - Peter Brock

    RIP Brocky, you're sorely missed mate

    I drove a lap of the mountain in my lunchbreak today in memory of him.
    RIP Brocky
