Peter Brock Memorial Cruise

[AzzurrA]

Now, i realise the news has only just come in, but i'm really torn up...

i was wondering if anyone would be interested in a memorial cruise of some description for Peter Brock?

i feel it would be nice to have a bit of a cruise as a farewell to him...

I'd leave that one to the V8/Holden boys and girls.

[AzzurrA]

um, bit out of line there, don't you think Mud?

you don't have to be a V8/Holden person to have liked/looked up to Peter Brock

perhaps if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all?

[SEX-DR.]

I think it has nothing to do with the cylinders, or manufactuer of your vehicle!!!

An awesome person (who was also a major car enthusiast) has passed away and as fellow car enthusiasts ourselves, showing our respects through a 'memorial cruise' has nothing to do with what type of category our cars fall into.

We can all miss him equally-regardless!!

RIP-Brocky

i back you guys up on this one,we dont want to biased like the other counter parts,he was a great racer and enthuisiast.

If you were Peter Brock what would you think is a fitting tribute?

He was a genius and a great role model to many, many people, a small mark of respect from our community will not be disrespected by anyone, in fact it could be a chance to show others that we are just like them when it comes to hero worship and the respect due to a legend.

I for one think it is worthy of a cruise. Its Pete Brock, he raced 6 and 8 cylinders!!!! Another legend in the same week as Steve Irwin, gotta do something for a recognition of respect!

just saying would be more fitting if they did it.

no disrespect meant at all.

that's all.

No disrespect taken, can see what you are getting at. He was after all predominately famous for bathurst in a Holden. But give credit where credit is due, he was an icon for motorsport, regardless of what he drove

[blur]

im in... im sure all of us when we were young looked up to him in some way or another.

Why?

He raced all sorts of cars...

he raced Volvos, BMW's, Ford Sierra's (4 cylinder turbos, which i happened to own one of in the past), Toranas (Which is a muscle-car i want to, and have always wanted to, build as a project, later in life)

so i don't see how saying we should 'leave it up to them' really fits?

[MountainRunner]

Brocky was the man. I could not believe it either. I think they should have a huge tribute at Bathurst this year. He was king of the mountain.

[53XYN]

agree with u there..... watever he drove as kids I looked up to that legend

Peter Brock and Dick Johnson were heros to me when i was a child.

My first car was an LJ Torana, Just like Brock's, ive still got a poster with a young Peter walking away from his beautiful XU1 with long hair and all...

RIP Brock'y was a pleasure to meet the man and share a ride around QLD Raceway 3 years ago.

Enought from me...

Cruise, i would prefer to sit back and have a BBQ and a beer and watch Bathurst this year. I think this years bathurst will be a special day. Ill be waking up early for bacon and eggs and I be planted in front of the tv all day with a esky close by and ill be thinking of him. My childhood hero.

[DR1FTER]

For us oversea's noobs..does anybody mind just quickly explaining who and what he did for Aussie motorsport? Ive read about him a little bit and heard of his name but sadly nothing of his background

Was he on a par to Senna?? or Allan Jones? Was he ever a Nissan driver? Thank you
