    Plans for Brockys death car

    Hi Guys
    The Navi of Brocks death car has plans to rebuild the car and display it,charging $15 a head for a look.
    What are your opinions.
    Mine are clean it so there is no sight of any blood and display it as it is.
    Just will help re-inforce to young (and old) rev heads that no matter how good you are(OR THINK YOU ARE IN THE YOUNGIES CASE) that when things go pear shaped at speed there are consiquences.
    Been in a country town Ive seen many fatal accidents,most with the victim still in the car.It really makes you evaluate your driving style on the road.And YES Ive owned a few fast enough cars.

    If that's for real I think it is extraordinarily tacky.

    Frankly, I wonder if anyone knows or even cares as to what Brock died driving.

    The millions of Brock fans love him for his winning ways - in so many Holdens.

    (What was that thing?)

    By that supposition, the tree it hit (or jumped out in front of him) would also be a chargeable shrine.

    Fifteen bucks to look at the car the killed Brocky? He's gotta be dreamin'....

    I don’t like the idea, who wants to remember how he died. We should be remembering him for how he lived and how he drove not his last mistake. The car should be scrapped for parts.

    A friend of a friend owned the car I wonder how it all worked out (I nearly used the phrase "came to pass")

    dont think i'd pay $15 to see a smashed car that someone died in

    i can go to the wreckers for free and imagine how many poor buggers died in those cars

    If it had stayed, it may have become a shrine.

    I'm in two minds about it myself. On the one hand it is tacky as, and there is no way I would pay $15 to see a car of any type.

    On the other hand, brocky did a bit for road safety. leave the car as it is, a broken wreck to reinforce to revheads that you are not indestructable.

    Initially I thought no way that is tacky as I am a big Brock fan. But hearing that it will be rebuilt, maybe as it is a piece of motor racing history now. $15 per head just to see the car is a joke, there are enough photos around to look at and in Queensland?????
    Should really be put in a motor museum of some sort, Bathurst, Birdwood Mill maybe Fremantle or York as it happened in WA.
