Guess who attended a party at my work tonight!

Danny · 30-07-2005, 12:46 AM

Got into work today and theres a booking for like 40 people for a Bithday. GREAT! I thought, I'll be here for ages! anyways, the party begins to arrive and I'm working on the bar serving drinks and such.

Annyways, I go to my next customer and realise that his face is very familiar...... In fact, I remember doing an assignment on this famous australian for year 7 history being an avid holden fan back then....

The king of the mountain himself!

He was here for his PA's Birthday party, and I found all of them pleasant and friendly people to work with. I chatted to Peter for about 10 mins or so (we were very busy) and their party stayed until late, Peter was chatting and drinking and having a great time, he got along well with everyone at his table, and everyone was at ease. Seemed like a great bloke. Great driver! Great to meet the man.

A very important tip about how to align his fuel molecules properly.
That said, not bad, seems like he's a decent bloke.

Awesome! I spent a day with him once on a Monaro launch day and he is a really top bloke. Good on him for posing for a pic too!! Love those mobile phones!!

So that would have made your night at work a very memorable event then, especially getting a pic!

Danny · 30-07-2005, 09:52 AM

That's pretty cool Danny. You should have asked him about the Brock EA's. :hihi:

Psycho Chicken · 30-07-2005, 06:51 PM

Ha! Can't say I've ever been likened to Brocky before. But if you must... cough.

Tornado · 31-07-2005, 09:19 AM

I see him on a regular basis.
He goes to the same gym as me, although I haven't been there for a couple of weeks now. He is a good bloke and very approachable, not like some other stuck up celebs.

Mike Gayner · 31-07-2005, 10:15 AM

Can people please just get the hell over the polariser thing? Seriously, you don't need to make some stupid bloody joke about it every time Brock's name comes up.

Danny · 31-07-2005, 12:02 PM

Who made a joke about it?

Falcon Freak · 31-07-2005, 12:08 PM

Why doesn't anybody ask Peter Brock why he removed the Ford badges from his Sierras???

whats the biggest difference between the au1 and 2. just getting of the track of celebs

XplosiveR6 · 31-07-2005, 04:17 PM

yea, brocky lives around eltham way, heard some funny and not so funny stories about him lol

jonbays · 31-07-2005, 04:48 PM

I met him once ages ago 1976 or so in Frankston in Victoria and he certainly impressed me as a decent bloke back then. He had this 2 door V8 monaro probably a factory car to drive. He was easy to talk to and had time for fans. Pretty normal really. I guess if you are succesful it will always pay someone to write bad things about you. I must admit I cringed at the polariser and felt he had been overly influenced by some hangers on who were just trying to make a buck off him but even to this day he still backs it??

Anyway a charming man with no chips on his shoulder who really could DRIVE and in a nice super smooth controlled way you just had to watch and admire.

**Peuty** · 31-07-2005, 10:54 PM

So tell me danny, what's Pippa like?

lol

bindi · 01-08-2005, 06:41 AM

Hey Danny, that is awesome

All through the Dick Johnson/Peter Brock years I always went for Brockie... and yes, I still think Dick lives up to his name (whenever he crashed, it was always someone else's fault lol).

Brockie is a freaking legend, and that whole Polariser episode - well, I didn't laugh.

For example, whenever I drive our Ford, something happens more often than not. But when hubby drives her, she's fine. I swear she hates me and could really do with one of those Polarisers (it's the hippie in me).

There you go Mike, that's all I am saying about them (I'd bloody well try one out if they had made them - I think the EA is possessed by the Devil himself).
