    New Magazine.."Brock & I, The Making Of A Legend", by harry Firth.

    Just bought & read this "magazine" bought out by Australian Muscle Car.
    It's written in fairly basic language & form by the old "Silver Fox" himself, Harry Firth, in his usual "no B/S" fashion.
    BUT, it contains some VERY interesting stuff....about the early days of Brock, & the background to some of the cars.
    If you have any interest in P.B. or H.D.T., then I'd say this is a "must have", and good value for $14.95.
    Cheers, Pickles.

    Good stuff. I saw this magazine the other day and thought about getting it. Now it’s been recommended I’ll go back tomorrow and grab a copy.

    Well, I reckon you'll enjoy it......it's written in very simple terms....but Harry tells things exactly as he sees them....ie, NO B/S!
    Cheers, Pickles.

    ..bought my copy on Satiurday as I saw it in my local news

    pretty much Harry spouting off about everything..Brock HDT Bathurst
    but I think AMC have used a bit of journalistic licence on occasion
    in several of the stories..overall a good read

    Re: New Magazine.."Brock & I, The Making Of A Legend", by harry Firth.

    Bought it last week and sat down and read it today.

    Very interesting read, no doubt Harry Firth was a genious but I didn't like the way he was always putting Brocky down and taking credit for all of Brock's success.
    Even taking credit for some of Brocks success with the Gown Hindaugh/Cheney L34 and the HDT A9X's when John Sheppard was the head mechanic long after he left Firth !

    Obviously a bitter / jealous geriatric man with one last chance to get a bit of media attention before senility sets in, at the expense of a man that was every bit as talented behind the wheel, more successful in business and sadly unable to reply to Mr Firths ramblings.

    Brock will be remembered by the masses, Harry Firth.............who is he !

    Just started reading this today, not bad but there is a little bit of putting Brocky down in it.
