Re: UK quattro Owners Club - Contacts

Steve & Phil,

Wow, there must be some telepathy happening. I was just thinking of
sending out some feelers to the net about finding if ur-quattro owners are
interested in joining the QOC UK too.

>I don't know.  I'll get in touch with the membership secretary and 
treasurer,
>and we'll work out a price.

I have been in touch with John Gittens about joining the QOC UK. The quote
I have gotten was 30 pounds sterling. I have found a bank locally which
will cut a check for an $8US service charge. I was rounding up the funds 
from
Thompson Smith, Ben Howell and myself, getting a cashiers check printed
and becoming members. BTW there are no members from the US at this point,
so a group of us could become the first wave from the US/CA. I will volunter
for the financial mail-point, or if someone else is interested, you are more 
than
welcome to organize it.

>No, but it seems a sensible idea.  Our next committee meeting is in 
October.

I was thinking more along the lines of the TQC Registry becoming friends
with the QOC UK.

I was attempting to round up copies of the previous newsletters to form some
type of archive for this info. The US printing and distribution is a great 
idea.

Look forward to hearing from other ur-quattro owners interested in 
membership.
