Amar

If it's easier and not too bulky, I can perhaps pick up whatever you are able to lay your hands on.

Not coming to he meet?

Ok then, I've just had a phone call from a young lady called Kelly, who is the PA to this Konsbruck fella and first of all she would like me to pass on their sincere apologies for not dealing with this in a better manner.

As for merchandise, she will be emailing me confirmation, but in a nutshell, she is sending me a box of merchandise that will include pens, wallets, cuddly toys and other bits and bobs.

Plus, a BIG prize by way of apology:

She is sending me two tickets to the Goodwood Festival at the end of June, including lunch.


She asks if I would like these personally, but I'd rather these were put up for the raffle, or perhaps better still due to the value, that these are auctioned with the proceeds going to the charity of course.

She also told me that she had been trying all day to try to arrange a loan of a D4 S8 for the meet weekend, but had been unable to get one for the dates required. She did however say that she would be happy to make arrangements, through your local Audi Centres, for any of our members to take extended test drives from the end of June onwards.

All in all, a much better outcome to this, and I'm really really pleased with the gesture

Finally, I have also promised to send her photos from the event, can I assume you would all be happy to consent to these being used by them for PR if required?

I think we'd probably all want number plates blanked out first.

Difficult to say how much those tickets are worth, as most are sold out:

https://ticketing.goodwood.com/Packages1.html

But I reckon they've got to be £300 + each?

Well done Sarg
I'm happy for any photo's to be taken, most will be posted up here anyway. Just throw the lot into the prize pool, cost isn't important as they have been gifted anyway and someone will be a lucky boy or girl.

Well done Sarg. Nice to see that your rant on their Facebook page has finally paid dividends. It's just a shame that it had to come to that before they agreed to help out.
