Some light may have been shone on the metal head recently featured, with this cryptic story in the Hills Gazette (or was it the Banjo Players & Albino News?). It does nail down the fact that it is Brocky not Dave from Diffs that is “pictured” but the whole thing is still baffling. The pic file blurb says that this is not the actual sculpture. So it’s a what? An ambit claim? Also the reason that it is so bad and that it is stuck in a Gooseberry Hill garden is still not addressed. Also the mystery of why there would be a club for such a shitty car as a Torana XU1, or any Torana for that matter is also still unclear. Or why someone would create another memorial for Brocky who it seems from all evidence was a bit of a knob. Strange days indeed. An iron Mainy with a metal speech balloon full of incoherent babble I could get behind. This? Not. Thanks Cimbali for snaggin a copy of the B&A News.

This story goes from worst to worster. Front page news no less. A guy can drive a car fast, until one day he drives car into tree. Cue Bento.

Despite what you all think, that idiot Peter Brock, deep down, really preferred Fords. According to Peter the falcon is capable of going 1 kmh faster.

Totally agree. The Ford Sierra Brock drove was clearly the best australian car he ever drove he thought so, only after he inserted a polarizer up his bum, and giving Bev a serve.

I AM Peter Brock and I can’t believe that you loosers spend all day looking at the internet and I make a shitload more money than all of you put together, etc. etc. etc.

While it’s true he drove the RS500 Cosworth, orbea, it was more Austrian than Australian.

I wrote that as Bogan Bait, and it worked.
The “Hard-ons for Holden” brigade deny he ever drove a Ford.

There is of course the Brock Falcons and Fairlanes plus the Lada Samaras to add to the list of things that Brock fans wish never happened…. add the Energy Polariser, experiments with crystals and the weird marital arrangement…. perhaps this monument is no less strange than the man himself.

I’m not sure which I find more surprising: that the GTR Torana XU1 Car Club of WA has a Special Projects Officer (how many projects do they do, ffs?), or that Gidgegannup has a Progress Association.

I was isolated in the regions for all of Friday, so was unable to participate in the discussions. I’ve chosen to respond in bush poetry, which I always find is the best way to clarify such matters.

Having driven a Torana LC through Gidgee at 100mph back in the days before hoon laws, I have nothing to add on the article.

here is a story from WAToady that completely shits me:
“Hollywood comes to Bassendean”
about the movie “Needle” currently being filmed here.
The writer, director and most of the cast and crew are from WA, so WTF has Hollywood got to do with it? No part of Hollywood has travelled to Bassendean, unless they exhumed Holly Wood’s hairpiece.
the article rightly praises the homegrown nature of the movie, and then fucks it up with a typical cultural cringe headline.
typical fucking Perth
I am outraged etc.
