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...

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.

Fundrzr / paypal combo worked ok for me today.

Likewise. Managed to do it on my slightly clunky Android phone, seems to have worked OK.

Great job on BUSTING THAT TARGET TO PIECES everyone.

9,684 · August 4, 2018

Worked for me. Donation made.

No issues with payage here. R.I.P Dave.

That was the car he had the accident in.

29,302 · 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.

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.

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.

44,478 · August 4, 2018

Done. That's a nice little total brewing there. I hope it brings some comfort to those who knew him best.

1,704 · 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!

7,019 · August 4, 2018

Couldn't help but contribute given all the laughs Dave gave over the years.

Given Dave's mgf was a roffle from tonedepear/scaryoldcortina, a roffle might be a plan.

I'd have a ticket.

7,754 · 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? Or at least that option should be available to them maybe?

4,315 · August 4, 2018

MGF?

I'd have a ticket too.

3,895 · August 5, 2018

Well bugger me. We're into four figures.

oh i thought it was in the naughty corner still

I think this is a very good suggestion, it may help ease just a little pressure at this terrible time. Plus they're the people who'd know which charities Dave might have favoured.

I'm pretty sure Save The Ford Ranger is not a worthy charity , for example.

1,704 · August 6, 2018

As there was some encouragement, I've stuck my F up as a roffle, with a donation to the fund to be made from the proceeds:

Dave’s sister did ask if there was a Grumpy Retired Mechanics charity.

Bop her the money, I've been through a few crematorium runs recently and the pressure of unexpected invoice amounts is not helpful.

That's half the members on here isn't it?

39,801 · 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!

I think the uk automotive charity is Ben.org.UK not sure if you have to be grumpy though.

39,801 · 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:

Thanking you most humbly for your generosity.

The link for the fundrazr as it took me a while to find it.
