R.I.P. Brockie.. you were a true Australian Motorsport Icon, and will be dearly missed.

I'm sitting here, i nearly have tears in my eyes....

i have an autograph from him in front of me, saying "Jason, Follow Your Dreams" that he wrote for me when my mum met him at one of her work conferences, and she was telling him how much i want to race....

this has hit me harder than the news of Steve Irwin passing

05 Forever!
R.I.P. Peter

RIP Brockie.

I also have his autograph on a poster along with Alan Moffats. He wrote "Enjoy Life" on it. 2 Australian icons dead in 5 days.

RIP
