Default Peter Brock Killed In Accident

Not a good week for famous Australians.

Australian motor racing legend Peter Brock has been killed in a rally crash in Western Australia, it is understood his car crashed into a tree and no other vehicles were involved.

Yeah not much attention paid to Colin Thiele, but then again he has been out of the lime light for some time.

As they say things happen in threes, lets hope thats the end of it .

As for Brocky he will be greatly missed as he was a inspiration to alot of people and will always be KING OF THE MOUNTAIN

Certainly a sad week here in Australia. My office's admin person has told me to stop going out of the office, everytime I come back in someone else (famous) has died.
