No legend, he has to keep living his life as plenty of people do after having
serious injuries just like the Indy driver a few years back ( cant remember is name )

I never liked him on sunrise, but when I found out he raced Brutes (at the time) I decided I liked him, But He's still got little man syndrome.

Good on him for getting back behind the wheel, he is a good steerer.

He's got guts, but if I were in his situation I'd be being very careful I didn't lose the use of my legs permanently. he can't have fully recovered yet so to my mind the risk of further injury has to be greater. His choice though.

Legend No.... Fool No....

I see him more as a bloke who has bravely gone back to what he loves doing after his accident last year! (This is what the Aussie spirit is afterall!. Right?)

I think the little fella just works to support his automotive habit, a bit like all of us. Not a big fan of him, but hey, we would all love to be in his boots, albeit small ones.

Yep that is about it exactly. If he was not the weather boy on channel 7 he would just be one of the many "also ran" racers that didn't quite make the big time and then went on a different path and had an oops.
There are lots of MX racers, roadbike racers, powerboat racers, horse riders, mountain bikies etc etc who have suffered similar events but as they had no public profile no one noticed.

This morning channel 9 had an important story that Paris Hilton has a new man and this time it is true LUV (last time it was PAL or Meatybites I think), Legend or Fool?

Personally I prefer Grant over Eddie McGuire any day ( as a host that is!) and say good luck to him for getting back behind the wheel!

he is young , and the careers he has chosen , pay his bills .
i'm happy for him , it's not just about getting in a car for him . as elated as anyone would be . he is back on track with his work.
Agreed, top post.
