David "Dave" Pinkney (born July 5, 1957 in Harpenden, Hertfordshire). is a British auto racing driver. For 2006 he races in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) in one of the 2005 championship-winning Honda Integra cars. He took a pair of top 5 finishes at Thruxton in rounds 11 and 12, following it with 2 more points finishes at Croft.
David was a semi-regular BTCC driver in the late 1980s and early 1990s, in a BMW from 1992 to 1993. He also briefly raced in the series in 2001, in a rather unreliable Alfa Romeo 147, leaving the JSM team after four rounds.
He has won the Vectra championship twice, in 1996 and 1999. He also raced in the Porsche Carrera Cup in 2004, and the Seat Cupra Challenge in 2005.
His car liveries generally contain a large amount of pink, in deference to his name. The slogan "Pink My Ride" (a play on Pimp My Ride) appears on the top of his windscreen.
