Sadly, my contact at Audi (who apparently provided some nice gifts that I wasn't there in the evening to see last year ) has not responded this time.

And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

That's a shame - but at least we will be honoured by your presence.

Audi are as tight as a duck's a**e. Brian tried them and they really didnt want to know.

I'll rustle something or other up, but it may in part be a repeat of a previous donation. Can't remember what I've sent previously

thanks for trying, as David points out Audi, both National and Local have been dreadful, National gave me some blah blah nonsense, and Glasgow Audi didn't even see fit to respond - not great really

I also wrote to Audi customer services and haven't even had the courtesy of a reply, despite the email also enquiring of the availability of an S8 to test drive to replace the M3.

Guess I won't be buying Audi next time either, shocking customer service

I've been racking my brains to see what I can put in the pot from here but I can't think of anything that would be useful for you guys.

Unless you want some A4 parts or other random Audi parts but nothing that's of any use to you guys.

I will keep looking.
You never know what I might find.

Which Audi dealer and what's he doing there?
