I spoke too soon.
My contact is moving on from Audi later this week but has passed on my request to someone appropriate. Fingers crossed.
I've explained that we are having a raffle in aid of prostate cancer charities so I hope that helps.

Result.
I've been asked by Audi for the contact details of one of the organisers, so they can send some stuff.

Don't all rush, but one of you please PM me with a suitable home or business address for delivery.

I've also been having a go at Audi Customer Services' lack of response on their Facebook page, they have replied there asking me to email them again.

Watch this space...

My request actually got passed on to BBH, who presumably represent them in the online "Community" world where my contact is.

As we're not an official or organised group with a membership process we're not on their radar so my contact is rather indirect and actually via AudiSRS.

It's the largest collection of their range topping cars in anyone place in the country, who gives a **** if it an "official club"

What they do now it's a direct reflection of the Audi Group toward their range topping customers. If they can send me a box of wine for monening how rubbish they are then the least they can do is send a pen to the group ffs.

Anyway i'm a member of the A8 owners club, well i was, i'll make sure that the plate is on the car if Audi UK need that for a 20p gift. What would our A8 owner friends in Germany make of it all?
