I wondered if Capt. Dave was alive and on this forum given some of the posts and threads I see being written on the forum now.
Remember,but would like to forget....... ::)
Saw him at SAAC 42 over near the Cobra's and saw him again at the Simone Museum when they had the Shelby Trans-Am show

he is alive and well, not to mention a very accomplished photographer
Yes, he is on Facebook posting his pictures on different Shelby groups.
I remember him.
QSS
I ran into him at a local car show here in Northwestern NJ last fall.
He has a very unique personality.
Spotted at Pocono SAAC

If he is not here in body posting then he must be here in spirit or as a muse to someone posting here.
I think he disappeared after a epic shellacking or two. Like Rick said once, dont poke the crocodiles.

I don't know anything about that. :o
Did that have something to do with his '427'?

Do you have a full name so I know who it is when seeing his pics?

He has nearly 5,000 friends, after seeing his Vegas pics, I am surprised it isn't more than 38.
OK. Maybe I'm missing something...who is this guy? There seems to be a common back story that I'd love to hear.
...where's the popcorn emoji when you need it? ;D
I still have a few of the red and white "I'm Not Capt Dave" bumper stickers. I can't remember who sent them to me. I think it was Dan "Cobrask8". I'll post a pic of them next week when I get back home.
Cheers,

That's fine. Just don't give him your phone number. ;)
I recall him talking about himself when no-one asked. There was a few of us talking about a GT40 and he interjected out of nowhere. He bragged about who he knew, and what he was up to.
::)
Normally one might be interested, but he was just off putting. I couldn't getaway fast enough.
I remember him being marooned in Brazil for a week waiting for a repair on his plane. I don't remember if he posted the picture on the Forum or just sent it to me.
The plane had sucked in this huge bird on take off into the oil cooler in the wing. The legs were sticking out like the legs of the Wicked Witch of the West under the house.
It was like he killed Big Bird.
He said that they had to replace the entire wing and he had to wait for it to get shipped down from the 'States and watch them install it...or maybe it was his boss was making him install it? I forget exactly now?
He blamed me for the Forum turning on him. Probably for the bird too? Jee-se?
With Sullivan they made a movie about it staring Tom Hanks. That one was believable. His story wasn't. ;D
wasn't he into miatas?
The Miata was at the time his GF's. I think he finally married her. I don't know if he blew up the engine? ::)
Are we concerned about the Capt. and his desire back then to being the number one in posts? The battle could return, if he does. I do like his photography, though. 8)

You mean he is going to be welcomed back with open arms? He kept saying "Rick says ownership isn't required". Rick kept saying, "I can't believe you guys are letting him go on and on?"
No one ever told him to get lost. He did that on his own.
I can't believe there's a whole thread dedicated to him ??? Why????
QSS
It's part of the former hysterical record lost to a previous time and server.
He is a legend.
Just like Shane and a numberof others.....

Closure?
It's a funny thing about things like threads, tv stations, radio stations though? If for some reason they displease you, don't read them or more exactly, just change the channel.

^^^ Capt. Dave and Shane - good times....

Wasn't Shane a character from a "Western story" who is some kind of a mixed dog/wolf?
found this with my SAAC33 pix:
