I wonder if the animals at the zoo miss him yet or even realize that Steve has gone. The zoo will feel empty without him around.

How many pissed off crocs are there? They tried so hard to get him and were beaten by a flat fish!
:P

Can't say I will be watching the entire bathurst race, will watch a large chunk. Respecting in my own way

Ironies of ironies, Peter Brock said he wouldn't be caught dead in a Ford. The herse that took his body to the state funeral was a Ford.
Sorry Pete, you were exactly that!

Winton was a sad affair yesterday. But bothe the ford and holden clubs paid him tribute.
