Re: Audi Recall....

["Mark Radelow" <rpcprod@hotmail.com>]

Sure I'll definately take a copy of the recall info...plus whatever 
TSB's you think are important (aka most common problems).  Of course no 
one will know where  I got them from if you want it that way.  I 
understand your position.  Okay...My page is finally in full swing so I 
think it is time to get the chat sessions into full swing.  Here is what 
I am thinking.  We hold a Q&A sessions.  I will be moderator to make 
sure things don't get out of control.  In the future I will have a 
better chatroom that I can kick certain people out...But for now it is 
gonna be a little less advanced.  Anyways, we'll put all the TSB's up on 
my ftp server and people can dload them as they want.  I will say I put 
them on there so you don't get in trouble.  How does next Wednesday 
sound?  I want to give people enough time to get the word out about it.  
Say around 9pm your time?  Or would earlier be better.  Whatever works 
for you; I don't have class on Wednesdays.
