David Pickles (get called Pickles most of the time)

Born in Geraldine, moved to Dunners for 13 yrs then back to chch when I was 13.

I am a Wholesale Manager at The Funky Pumpkin, deal with alot of head chefs daily.

I have a partner in Nadine & we have a great wee 2yr old daughter Danica (named after Danica Patrick)

We live in the mighty Christchurch in the bexley area.

My first car was a dirty ke30 rolla.

I now own a dato 310 sunny which I drive daily, & have 2 more on the go trying to get back on the road.
I have a Ministock too (dato) which I have been racing for 7-8 yrs now, I know how some of you feel about us, but we not all the same, I only wreck the ones that are F**d, not the good ones.

Into mucking around in the garage working on the racecar & dato's, keen to help out if anyone needs it too, just let me know if you need a hand, dont mind at all.

Mint!

That explains why I always see your sunny parked outside the mobil on huxley st.
I assumed you must live in that old house across the street.

Hi everyone im Jimi (AKA) Datrebb amongest other things, none of them have anything to do with underarm bowling and i can hear you guys sigh right now when i say that im from oz. Just joined to read and browse forums from here as well as ozdat so i thought id do the right thing. Im a truckie that i guess love's to drive. Hence i have owned my 1600 for around 22years. l recently restored the 510 for the second time in that period and the resurgence this time around has been done well for now. And thanks lewis for the info.

Been around SDU and SSE for a while hence "MSPEC"
Ive got a Nissan parked in my garage and would be keen too get it out for a few cruises with some classics, now and again.
