I haven't seen David post in 2 or 3 weeks and that's VERY unlike him......since he's relatively remote I'm slightly worried, and hoping everything is OK. [confused]

I was waiting for someone to post such a thread. Since I am Canadian here, I am also a bit worried here. Last known activity of David is him taking apart his front bumper.

I got an email from him July 6th but haven't gotten a response from him (which is unusual).
Hopefully everything is okay.

Watch, David will be back w/ the RS5's crown gear differential and rear power spoiler retrofitted to his A4 [>_<]
Maybe he's just testing us.

Oh I forgot he had a BB. Maybe we'll do just that.

Thought I was the only one. Sent him a PM a couple weeks back and never got a response, then recently checked his activity and noticed he's been MIA way too long.
Can't decide whether to move this post to the chatterbox or make it a sticky...

i bet he just finished modding his car with an anti-gravity device and is going for a spin around the globe
Greg Nelson

I emailed him on July 1 with no reply.
Sent him some LEDs and holders on June 9.
I've been checking daily for new posts
I also noticed then his last post was 6/29[:(]
Glad to notice someone here got a more recent email from him[;)] and that others have noticed his absence.
Hope he went into 'quiet mode' to catch up on his modding.
David, call home - we miss you[:)]
Cheers[wrench]

I just thought he left because of all the BS post such as "Do I have a Quattro?" Or "how to tell if I have an Auto" post.

Agreed, there's some serious rookies here lately with some dumb questions who don't search or read - I want an answer and I want it now[:(]
Next will be: Which side of the car is my gas filler door on[:D], or How do I know if I have Tiptronic[:(]

Holy crap!!! My B8 has reverse?!?! I thought that 'R' meant that I was driving on the "Road". Next you will tell me something really strange, like the B8's have electronic turn signals and I don't have to put my hand out the window anymore. Maybe when David gets back (from wherever) he can give me a retrofit. Come back soon, David!!!

Maybe the dog sled is taking longer than expected to get to Waterfest.

I have been wondering the same thing the past week. He is probably just getting all this mods done so he can get his living room back and right now he is driving down to NJ for Waterfest.

Just BBMed him as well. This is really bizarre. Last update on his site is 6/14 from what I can tell. =0/

He last logged in on 6/29 from I can tell from his profile.
I need him to come back and post VAG-COM codes to covert my FWD into a quattro.

All jokes aside, id like to know if he's fine. Not so fun driving where everything is like ice, it can get dangerous. Hope everything is ok and nothing happen..

I agree, I think we all hope he is OK. Lets just hope he is on vaca in the Bahamas or something. I think we all appreciate his hard work.

What about trying to contact the person who helped design his webpage? He should have a way to contact David besides e-mail, right?

I was able to find his Facebook page and he's still active on it as of this morning (playing games). So I think it is safe to say he is still alive and well, just not posting on Audizine.

Good information, thanks! I was getting seriously worried about the guy. Now let's see what we can do about getting him back on the 'zine.

Agreed, He has some pretty cool and unique mods which was a definite contribution.

I agree, but I'm sure he's got his reasons. At this point I think we should respect his privacy and his decision not to post.

I communicated w/ him via email sent to the email address he posts publicly on his website so unfortunately, I don't have any "special" access to him or anything. I'm confident that he's fine, just taking a sabbatical of sorts.

Looks like he's fine :)
