Robert was also the reason I bought my used Volvo. Ran into his YT channel, found the site, figured why not?

I hear he's up and about :)

This is awesome!

Not that Robert is sick, but that EVERYBODY who has worked on old Volvos knows and loves him. Fantastic guy!

Really glad to hear you are on the mend my friend. As someone who has a family history of heart problems they have had me on meds for years as a precaution. My elder brother had a triple bypass at 51 and is now doing very well, so there is hope for all of us. My father had angina for 15 years and lived to 85 so hope we can all manage to do that with careful maintenance and regular service check ups! Make sure to look after the OE parts as aftermarket are of unknown quality!

Regards and best wishes,

Neil.

Hello there Robert,

I hope you are getting better now and have a good solution for that health issue for the future.
It's always sad to hear that someone so valuable to society is not doing well, and all we can do is hope and pray that the situation improves for them. You're definitely in my prayers.

I dont think it will be too bad for you though because there are a lot of old Volvos out there that need fixing and so God wont let anything happen to you until they are all fixed :-)
I’ve been driving a Volvo long before anyone ever paid me to drive one.
That's probably because I've been driving one since 2015 and nobody has offered to pay me yet.
