Rip Dave buddy
 
My engine was built by dave and darren, it's run beautifully ever since. met him when I collected it, seemed like a very nice guy.

the whole motor enthusiast community is poorer for his loss.

Thoughts go out to Darren and family, RIP.

My goodness, really can't believe this is true! Spoke to Dave many a time on the phone, always had time for the many sometimes pointless questions.

A tragic loss to the Starlet community. My thoughts are with his family.

RIP Dave.

a Legend of TGTT,

this was my experience of the man too. always had time to answer his phone to answer questions. great way to run a business.

hope darren and the whole family are coping ok without the boss.

all the best to them all.

I have not been on here for a number of years, in truth the only reason I am here now is because my old GT is for sale.

What a shock to see the front page, Dave helped me so much when I first got my GT and helped me spec my engine. This is such a shame and my thoughts are with his family at this time!!

Dave you will be missed, E x

I haven't visited the site for a couple of months, I spoke with him a few times in the past and ironically the last time I was here I talked to Dave and bought a panhard rod from him. He seemed like a true gent, friendly and always happy to help. A tragic loss, you will be sorely missed. Rest in peace Dave

Wow !!! I know its been a while but i just jumped on toyota gt turbo to check an old post of mine and just seen this.
Deepest condolences to Daves Family. I know where ever he is he will be looking down on the great praises and thanks given by the starlet community. As many have said this is a great loss and still hard to digest this.
I have known Dave for quite sometime (since close to 2000 i believe) on both a business level and a forum level and he has always been straight forward and easy to deal with.
RIP Dave.
 
RIP & God Bless, Dave Burwash... You Were A Great Trader With A Wealth Of Knowledge You Shared Freely To Help Out Everyone You Could, You Will Be Greatly Missed

A legend will be missed but never forgotten, helped me numerous times over the years and sold me a few great deals.

Thoughts and prayers out to his family.

Can't believe I'm reading this, I knew dave for many years whilst building my ep82 and also owned the 320bhp ep that he built for a good while. He helped me for many years import the parts I needed from Japan to make my car what it was. Massive sad loss for the community and my thoughts go out to his family and friends.

Rest in peace my old pal, olly
