I haven't been able to access The Sermons of Bob Hoover for ages. Has the site been taken down? I hope not, because it was great!

ok I have put it up for the world. It is a self extracting archaive so just double click on the file and choose a targed directory. The site will be extracted to a directory called the sermons of bob hoover. >>>>DOWNLOAD FROM HERE<<<<

Guys,

I don't not what to say. That WASN'T Bob Hoovers site - it was a reflection and the reason it goes down every now and then is that Bob threatens it with copyright violation.

It's a long story but basically Bob believes very strongly that he owns the copyright to his writings (which he does and they are fantastic) and he wishes to protect that copyright. The sermons were on a site he approved off until he got cheesed off with the VW community (or the sharks in it) for one reason or another and then he requested that the sanctioned site be taken down....

Making his copyright sermons available for public copying/use is NOT what the man himself would want at this stage. So I leave it to you........

Hmmm I believed that Bob had passed away and the info on this site was returned to the world by his wife. I will remove the file if you are certain that you are correct.

I hadn't heard that but it could be. I'll check and get back to you.

And next week on "Days of our Volkswagen lives"......................

well if anyone wants it they can u2u me but I'll take it down as I'd really hate to get in the shit over a copyright breach.

555bug, you have a u2u ;)

And the site mentioned in the very first post is apparently operating out of Turkey and Hoover's not happy about it but doesn't have the legs to shut the guy down.....

Said site has no endorsement or permission to make Hoover's copyright works available (and if you look at any of the sermons the all have a copyright declaration on them).
