REB's pic takes me back to primary school when you were either Holden or Ford and wore the jacket to back it up.

All the Holden kids cheered Brocky and all the Ford kids cheered Dick Johnson.

Brocky was even faster on my Scalectrix.

Im distraught, Brocky was my hero in the 70s and 80s, I didn't barrack for Holden or Ford I only barracked for Brocky.
Used to always wear my HRT jacket with pride.
Such a tragedy.
What a cruel week.
Scary part about it on Monday I said to my workmates after hearing of Steve Irwin and Colin Thiele's deaths that these things always happen in threes.

RIP Brocky, you'll be missed.
:(
