Lucky enough to meet him a few times,Still see his brother Lewis once to tiwce a year,Also catch up with Eric Dowker(father of the polarizer)Yes time does go fast.I have quite bit of signed paperwork for the car from him.You could say we are freinds of the freinds family.Every time he was here(which was quite a bit)we were invited over.
Cheers Marty

I would say I was fortunate,I alway was interested in the Brock cars,An from the late 70's I always watched Bathurst,And I have never missed a year on telly(unless I was there)I brought my first Brock car(VH SS group 2)the year after I first meet him(1998)This week also must remember Steve Irwin,Also a man who lived life at a thousand miles an hour!

That's awesome! I met him a few times out at Puke race track, we use to go out there on practice days instead of going to school and he was always happy to hang out the back of his tent to chat to us for a while, he was genuinely a nice guy

Now that IS the place to meet him,It would of been great to see and talk to him in HIS element(the race track)When we saw him it was always in a relaxed home type envioment,The last time we sore him he had Julie with him.
What is it about September,We had 9/11, Brocky, Erwin,And now this big hit in CH CH??anything else out there??
