I had the pleasure of spending an hour or so with Dave over coffees when he visited Adelaide a few years back. we had a great conversation on our hobby in that time. He was one of nature's gentlemen.

Yngwie 17 Report post Posted April 27, 2016 WOW. Dave was one of natures gentleman. Had the pleasure of racing with (in teams events) and against Dave and he was always a crafty bugger to get passed (which didnt happen too often). He will be truly missed by all. RIP Devious!

teamredracing 10 Report post Posted April 27, 2016 Just read the news. Dave was a gentleman of the slotcar world. He was a good friend and helped me out with my racing. Dave was the man who invented the KISS rule . He was the only bloke I knew who could build a car for a race meeting and turn up with a completely different car and run well. The man upstairs better have a good setup because he's got a bit of competition. RIP my freind . I too was happy to have that couple of hours with you.

tsmsoccer 11 Report post Posted April 28, 2016 He was loved by many and he will be missed. As others have said always the gentleman and always willing to help anyone who asked for it. Had the pleasure of knowing the Big Fella for quite a few years his one passion and maybe vice was his love of slot cars an in particular building them. Remember so many times that he had no hesitation in buying a car completly pulling it apart moving mortors to different locations once he had finished you would not recognise the new chassis from what was once the original. Once he put in on the track though was it good. Some of the best cars I had ever driven had Dave's .magic hands run over them To his daughter Jennifer we are all sorry for you loss RIP BIG fella may the slot gods smile on you up there Charlie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
