beko1987 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Crikey that's jumped up a bit. We may have enough to send wobbler out with a camera to bring back one of his cars, which will probably overheat and die en route in memory of its departed owner...

Cavcraft Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Wow, that's up to an amazing amount. Testimony to his popularity and everyone's generosity, it'd be great if we can make four figures. Well done to all concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserone Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Not sure if I'll phrase this the right way, but if there was a car for him to have been in, that's the one. Slartibartfast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Unfortunately they also have the structural integrity of a crisp packet in a crash. If it was his MGF or Pickup trucks, he quite possibly would be recanting what happened to us right now. I'm still finding it hard to think we won't see his name pop up on here again.

Stanky Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 Dave's funeral will be held in France on Tuesday, we have arranged for a wreath to be sent in time for the funeral from existing funds. £105 was the total for this. We will keep the Fundrazr open for anyone else who wishes to donate. All money raised, less the wreath, will be donated to a charity of the family's choosing. We're waiting for them to suggest a suitable cause. red5, egg, BorniteIdentity and 13 others 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Done. That's a nice little total brewing there. I hope it brings some comfort to those who knew him best. Cavcraft, Jim Bell and GrumpiusMaximus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warninglight Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I'm currently travelling back from France, and I have a rhd MGF I don't need. I have £600 in it, and it has a years test. Would it be a good idea to run it as a sort of auction? If I got my £600 back, anything over that would go into the pot for donation. May be a crap idea, but as I have Dave, France and MGFs on my mind it just occurred to me and seemed fitting. No idea if there would be any interest here! warren t claim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drum Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Just a thought, but I wonder if the collection, or part there of, could be used by Dave's family to help settle his affairs in France?

Datsuncog Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 There's a small roffle of donated diecast minishite going down, which has now sold out - monies are making their way in for a Wednesday draw, the proceeds of which will all be going into the Memorial Fund. Will advise in due course! GrumpiusMaximus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datsuncog Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Folks, Not wishing to clutter things up, but owing to the phenomenal response to the MiniShite Grand Prize Roffle for the DaveNumbers Memorial Fundrazr (drawing tomorrow night), I'm aware a fair few regulars have expressed some disappointment that they didn't get a crack at entering. Although there's not much that can be done when the roffleboard is filled, there is however a special bonus Friday Night Mystery Prize Sub-Roffle now available for those who missed out for whatever reason. The Mystery Prize is a rather nice 1/43 model complete with acrylic display case, and will be posted out to you, still incognito, for the winner to reveal at their leisure. Overseas and ROI shiters are most welcome to participate. If you win, I'll make sure the prize gets to you. Entry is a suggested donation of £2 (or whatever you fancy) via PayPal/BACS/Cash or whatever, all going towards the Dave21478 Fund. There's no limit to the number of folk who can participate (within reason, obvs), but we're keeping it to one entry per shiter, thanks! Full sub-roffle details here: http://autoshite.com...open/?p=1573264 Thanking you most humbly for your generosity.
