Information and Apology

["ERIC L. FRIEDMAN" <102127.3300@CompuServe.COM>]

TO: All that received my companies press release of the other day.  
FROM: Eric Friedman at The Creative Showcase, Inc.

I wanted to explain who I was and why this company downloaded a press release to
all of you.  Additionally, I'm sorry if I offended any of you.

  
Firstly, I'm an owner of 1995 90 Sport Quattro(#WAUCA88C6SAO43419).  It's 18
months old and has logged 65,000 miles!  That's a great deal of time spent in
one car.  

Secondly, I'm now the regional representative for the QCUSA New York City
region.  OK, OK, say what you will but I'm sending out notes to everyone to get
them organized and I think we will get somewhere.  

Last but not least, my company is specialized automotive marketing group that
has been a vendor to Audi, a bunch of other car companies, fuel companies,tire
companies, etc.  We create ads, brochures, and a buch of other items you have no
doubt seen.  This company is actively talking with the powers that be here in
the US and in Ingolstadt about a whole host of future projects that may make
your lives as Audi enthusiasts more interesting.  I was in Ingolstadt for
several days last month talking about things like increased PR, a motorsports
program involving Joe Hoppen, factory support of a multi-layered motorsports
program, etc.  As things progress, I would be happy to contribute some updates.
By the way, I drove a couple of cars a saw some products like the S6 Avant 4.2
plus.  It's an S6 wagon with the engine from the A8 mated to a six-speed.  It's
got an interior/exterior appearance package that's exceptional.  It's really
encouraging to see Audi make products like that and is a sign of things to come
in this country.

I put together that lithograph as something that I found interesting as an Audi
enthusiast.  Half of you blasted me but the other half could look between the
lines and see that no one else has created something like this and it's not all
that easy top get all those guys to sign something like that.  I really just
wanted all Audi related people to have first crack at it before the general
public gets a hold of it. I has to go to California, Florida, England and
Germany to get those signatures for God's sake!  This company fronted all the
money.  Hey, it's not some t-shirt.  

I appreciate your patience but I think some of your responses were short
sighted.  I hope that explains my motivation.
