Yes, return it to AoA at all costs!
 
Heaven forfend that anyone should show off the Audi logo at _another_ 
enthusiasts' meeting.  We must get it back into their storeroom, so that it 
doesn't besmirch any more television screens at peak times.
 
(I think something must be a little twisted in the good ol' US of A.  Over
 here, it's _Audi_ who ask if they can attend _our_ events.  Something about
 _us_ being the customers and _them_ the suppliers.  I think I got that the
 right way round, anyway.  One year we asked all the members to tell us how 
 many Audis they had, apart from their ur-quattro.  The answer made David 
 Ingram's eyes stand out.  I think UK Club members have around 1,500.)
