I think everyone here knows Robert Spinner through his dedication to Volvos and his vast array of DIY videos.
He needs our love right now. More to come.

Posted a little note over on the non-car talk forum earlier too.
Folks following his YouTube adventures know he's in Vegas at the moment. That's a long way from the rest of his family, so he's dealing with this alone.

Oh Boy! Have Robert and Dianne been through the wars health wise. For 2 such big hearted people life has surely not been fair to these two wonderful people.
My thoughts are with them both.

Thanks for the update. I'll be thinking of the Spinners and wishing them the best. And to Clemens's family, I hope you can navigate the cancer care system for the best outcome for your father-in-law.
I recently spoke to a kind woman who had lost her husband quite suddenly. "Life is short. Do the things." she told me. Makes me wish I'd get that P2 V70R and enjoy it while I'm able.

In the midst of all this sadness, a laugh-out-loud moment at ca. 13:17.
