wow. what a large week for australian 'icons'....

Peter Brock has died during a rally race

probably not as 'important' as Steve, and probably won't get the same fanfare as Steve, but still a tragic loss.

i guess Holden's going to have to find themselves a new representative to sell they're product.

and in the wake of this tragedy, the first 'joke':

"Just in from wall street: Brock's Shares Crash!"
care of Pots.

til next....

I believe everything comes in threes. I wonder who'll be topped off next?

the first one was Don Chipp. Founder of theAustralian Democrats. Brocky was the last of the three.

Don Chipp, never heard of him! Was it all over the news? Coz otherwise that doesn't count!

From: [identity profile] kitsunegari.livejournal.com


it was in fact! :P

at least for a day....

he wasn't as important as the other two apparently, and thusly didn't deserve the mention of a state funeral. even if he did help change the face of politics slightly (only to have future democrats completely screw it over).

til next....
~Kits~ (cant believe a guy who drove a car for a living is worth a state funeral. what about Bus Drivers?)
