What happened to Richard?

Here you can talk about the joy owning a Volvo 480 brings. Non-technical discussions take place here, like what is the difference between an ES and a S version.

What happened to Richard?

Post by TWR » Sun Apr 15, 2007 9:24 pm

Hi there,
I know it is a bit unlikely that my first topic in this forum its like this, but
my english isnt very well, so I prefer to read only and not to write so much.
:dunno: :oops:

But I have a massive problem. I cant contact rpruen anymore. Does anyone out there know where he is or what happened to him? I´ve send him my ECU and get a reply that the ECU has arrived, but this was on 23 march. I am a bit concerned because he does´nt say anything that he is in holiday or something like that.

Is anybody in contact with him outside the forum?

Greetings, Daniel :dunno: :oops:

It has been a long time, longer than I thought. His last post was 19/11/06

I’m sure there is nothing wrong, Rich is very busy

19/11/06 !? - That's wrong wherever you got that from...

I was last talking with him here:

http://volvo480.dragons.org.uk/forum/vi ... g&start=40

And i'm sure there's been other posts..? Maybe his car took off into orbit with all those new tweaks?!

Nah, he's fine, he usually pops round to mess about with cars of a Saturday.

I think a lot of us have stopped posting as often as we used to, different priorities these days I guess.

Sorry to resurrect this topic, but I am a bit worried about my blue label ecu that I sent him on 5th June. I have heard nothing from him despite repeated emails.
I, at least, want to confirm that it has arrived.

Can anyone who knows/sees him confirm that he is still alive/well and still doing Richmods?

I have his phone number, so if I hear nothing from him by next week I may ring him up.

Cheers,

Antony
