Where is Glyn?

This is most probably off-topic, but does anyone know why Glynn M Ruck has been so quiet lately?

Seriously, he hasn't posted anything in 4 weeks. Normally he is very active. I have been following this forum as a guest for a good number of years...

Glyn may be half man half machine but even he needs a break. Until then us minions can band together to solve the finnicky problems these great cars give.

Obviously, he's off saving fair maidens whose Benzes have broken down, while at the same time, boring them with exactly what went wrong with their cars in excruciating detail.

Maybe he got rid of his Benz and got a Fiat ;-)

Hope all is well with Glyn and he is enjoying some vacation time.

Japan is awesome. I don't travel that fancy though. I've been to Cuba and Mexico because I get those trips at awesome prices at last minute

Personally I thought he'd moved on to more current MB territory.
Seemed to be a lot of posts in newer forums.
We of the W203 ilk, just aren't as interesting anymore. W205 is due to be out soon..we'll never she him again!


Never even got a response to the "drives" section of my profile or my avatar, which btw is an actual picture of Glyn.

Eh you guys jumping ship to BMW...
