The Old Man & His Dog has asked me who Peter Brock is, besides obviously a racing car driver. I think the best way I can do this is to copy from Wikipedia as well as link so you can follow up with more research if you would like to. So this is the copy:
"Peter Geoffrey Brock AM (26 February 1945 – 8 September 2006) otherwise known as Peter Perfect, The King of the Mountain or simply as Brocky was one of Australia's best-known and most successful motor racing drivers. Brock was most often associated with Holden for almost 40 years, although he raced vehicles of other manufacturers including BMW, Ford, Volvo, Porsche and Peugeot. [1] He won the Bathurst 1000 endurance race nine times, the Sandown 500 touring car race nine times and the Australian Touring Car Championship three times. Brock's business activities included the Holden Dealer Team (HDT) that produced Brock's racing machines as well as a number of modified high-performance road versions of his racing cars."
Most motor car racing in Australia is Holden v. Ford endurance races. Jared is a Holden Man (well, young adult) through and through. This is Jared's hero for ever and a day.

Thank you my Aussie friend. Now I know who he is and Holden also. I'd never heard of either. Holden has some nice cars! Can you please send me one?
