Peter died today in a racing accident. His car slid off the road and crashed into a tree. I actually feel more for this tragedy than Steve Irwin's death earlier in the week. http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/...222310976.html http://www.smh.com.au/news/motorspor...222313354.html |
Dude, he never managed Bathurst the 10th time, I remember when he retired from Bathurst the first time and I was gutted that 'Peter Perfect' never got his 10th win.
If I was an Australian icon I'd be in hiding right now!
Luckily I'm nobody
RIP Peter
