I know nearly no users of this particular forum ever look at the buyer/seller feedback one (I actually think most users here think TS consists only of this forum and the classifieds!).

Anyway being a vendor I review it occasionally and I discovered this on Terry Kay's f/b thread:

Quote: For anyone who has orders pending with Terry, I spoke with him by phone last Friday (5/17) and he is presently suffering from major lung problems associated with long-term fiberglas inhalation. He is on Ox, full-time and hardly has the energy to talk to his customers on the phone. He said he was very concerned that he hasn't been able to process his orders and knows customers are wondering whats-up, why haven't they gotten their stuff.
As health comes first, recovery should be his first priority. Please send Terry your good vibes for a quick and full recovery.
I've been communicating with him on a big order and have received the items he hand-made, which are fine pieces of work to re-fit the original junk that VW put on the Vanagons. Customers be patient; give him some time to R & R."

Everyone please send some good juju Terry's way.

I've always appreciated him for taking a strong stand and helpful advise regardless of popular opinion.

best wishes TK..

Mmm, that's lousy. TK's not exactly a sensitive New Age Guy but he's got a lot of automotive knowledge.

Good Luck Terry!

I am a big buyer and follower of Terry, he can take as long as he wants.. rest up.

Thanks for posting this, Chris. I will certainly keep a good thought for TK. I know he has ruffled a lot of feathers here, but he's a human being just like all of us and definitely deserves our best wishes.

A couple of guys I've worked with over the years had problems like TK might be having. Symptoms like bronchitis would give. They both came through it ok. One was in his 50s and one nearing 70.

Hope you get better soon TK.

To the man responsible for my brighter headlights and who introduced me to the wonders of Penetrol, get well soon!

I have no idea who I've purchased from anymore......like the Grateful Dead saying, 'it all fades into a dream,' but I do want to wish TK a speedy recovery. Not only does he have knowledge to share, but he can be very entertaining too!

As one of those who has butted heads with Terry,.. :D... often... :shock: I wish you a complete and speedy recovery.

Gotta get back to it, Terry!
The board is nowhere near as colorful without you.

Here's to the good vibes coming at ya from the land of fruits and nuts.

cheers!

I've purchased from Terry, and been informed, entertained and sometimes apalled by his post. Hmm, sounds like I'm describing a friend. Get better soon Terry.

Fri May 24, 2013 10:34 am

I did not post the news initially.

Here's his f/b thread, and I cross-posted so TK will hopefully see everyones' warm wishes.
