Sad, very sad. Brock was loved by the Kiwis and very popular here. Truly tragic losing two such famous personalities in such a short span of time.

Wow! Not good news at all. One of my friends in Oz has a Brock Commodore that he took me out for a spin in while we were there. He races cars and bikes.......will have to send him an email today.

Not to make light of this situation, but the first thing that went through my mind was, if aussie cars had the driver's side on the left, Brockie would have survived with stomach injuries while his co-driver bought it.
Very sad. |
