    Fellow members-
    Sadly, I have just learned that Pete Brock was killed Friday during a rally in Australia while driving one of the Superformance Coupes. For those of you who knew or met him, you know what a very kind, soft-spoken and talented gentlemen he was. We've truly lost one of the most revered personalities in motorsport and automotive design.
    Regards, Stan

    Not the Same Pete Brock of Daytona Coupe fame - an Australian Rallye Driver with
    the same name.

    Thanks for the correction! Ironic he was driving a Daytona Coupe.
    Still, another tragedy for the Aussies.

    >>>Funny--I knew right away when I first heard the story that it wasn't true.

    And this morning Pete just told me that he wasn't killed.

    PETER Brock was killed, in Australia, driving a PETE Brock Superformance
    coupe (ironically enough). PETER Brock is an Australian rally and racing legend,
    who went on to great success racing in Europe. PETE Brock is our friend and
    Shelby buddy and now motorjournalist, who is alive and well!
