Default What has happened to the "REV"?

Sam: I miss your posts bro... What's happened to you? I hope the XK has not pissed you off to point you are no longer interested.

The Rev was very helpful to me and my initial problem with the XKR... I truly do not think that I would have figured it out with out his input,,,

Long story short- the vehicle would not shut down properly and sometimes would not start at all... Had a brand new battery and everything checked out fine... The problem was intermitent but annoying,,,

The positive cable from the battery had a poor connection at the terminal and the other end that is connected to the terminal box in the trunk on the forward wall...

Put it in a vise recrimped both ends and checked the torque on all 4 locking nuts in the terminal box... Everything is perfect...

That would have been a tuffy with out the Rev's help...

Thanks Sam

Hi Sam

I have watched all of your videos time and time again to learn as much as I can.You were the first person that inspired me to want to have a go.
Hope you are still out there.

Cheers Al

I had occasion to swap some email with the Rev in just the last couple of days. He's still out there, but has a few things on his plate at present, so I don't know when he'll be checking in here. Then again, it could be today. Just don't know.

Anyway, I Thought I'd post this assurance just in case he does not check in here for a while.

This movie clip should answer any questions to the mystery of our missing Rev.

If anyone has some 'real' information about our missing Rev Sam, please pass it on to me via PM.

He is a GREAT member of this forum, and I'm sure that none of us would wish to lose him from here, and certainly I would wish to extend a hand of friendship.

As would any of the members in any position here.

Thanks,
Richard

Give him a break, he needs some time off for filming or even sleeping.

He posted noods of his wife and he's been grounded for a month. I'm sure he'll be back when he's allowed on the computer again! ;D

LOL! She likes when I post noods, but only if I tell her and let her read the comments.

Actually I've just been throwing up and smoking pot. The pot stops the throwing up much better than that worthless but expensive crap the doctor prescribes. Hopefully I'll quit throwing up soon, but I might keep smoking the pot.

Oh yeah... thank's for your concern everyone. I've been daydreaming about all of the stuff I want to do to my car. I'll make videos, of course.

Ah, sorry to hear man. Hope you feel better soon. I'll think of you the next time I spark up.

By the way... I hope every single politician who opposes medical marijuana gets cancer and has to endure chemotherapy without it. It's like a miracle drug. I just wanted to shoot myself before my college student son hooked me up. I think I probably would have just said "**** it, no more chemo" without marijuana.
