Hello,
Wow, very sorry to hear the news. Sorry for your loss Robert.
RIP Dianne.

I’ve been driving a Volvo long before anyone ever paid me to drive one.

I carried on a text conversation with Robert yesterday. He had bought a couple project cars during his western swing, and when Dianne first presented at the ER, he sold off everything except the new yellow T5, so at least the car part of his logistical challenge is slightly lower.

All these money issues, always and again.... even in a situation like this...
I won't let the helplessness and confusion add to his pain.

I was just thinking yesterday that this should be shared on here, I was happy to see the banner on the forum today. I hadn't run into this or the previous thread yet.
Such a sad situation, but it's amazing to see the Volvo community come together for someone who has made such a huge impact on all of us, and does so much good. We love you Robert!
Rest in peace, Diane.

I too was following the developments on Robert's YT channel. I'll see what I can contribute - he has a greater need than I at the moment and like may others, saved me from needing to ditch the car.
Both Robert and his wife are good people, you could tell by the videos. So much pain and Robert always gets back up.

Wisdom requires knowledge as a prerequisite, but knowledge can be developed due to a lack of wisdom.
In order to learn how to fix something, you must first learn how to break it.

Although I did whack the GFM pool to help get it going, I still like a direct PayPal "gift"; I signed up for a small monthly stipend some time ago, so I already have a link.
