There is a bare stage, with a giant flag as the backdrop. A lone figure strides into the center of the stage, he wears a military uniform that has nary a wrinkle or crease. His thick-soled boots shine in a mirrored polish; his hair is cropped short and smart. He salutes crisply and falls in to a perfect parade rest formation.

"All right you’se apes, we have a car show to set up. You each have your individual assignments but were going to take a few minutes to familiarize you’selves with the as they call it ‘venue’” the Sergeant in charge looked at the assembled troops with an evil gleam in his eye, his thick Brooklyn accent clearly evident. TMZ recruited from everywhere, the best available and the Sergeant was, like all of their recruits, one of the best, a professional military man.. He loved giving out facts and figures, then asking that they be spouted back at the most inopportune of times.

Five thousand attentive faces looked back at him as he began the overview. Behind him the giant TMZ flag faded away to be replaced as silently the accompanying film began to be projected on multiple giant flat panel displays. behind him. The throat mike picked his voice up and it carried clearly through out the giant briefing room, but then again Sergeant Villanova's voice could probably been heard without digital amplification.

“You all know we’ve been building The Militarized Zone International Airport for three years now and in just under two months time it opens for the first flight. How so ever before that, every car maker that can get a model here, every race team that roll, every tuning house that thinks they cars they tune are the fastest, every off-roader that just knows they can carry the humps, every little parts distributor with more than three stores under their logo is going to be hauling rear axels in here and setting up shop. But for them to do that we have to set up first!”

"Points of Interest" He held up a thick finger. "“TMZIA” He pronounced it ‘Tim Zia” has the world's tallest control tower, at 635 feet tall, and the world's largest single building"


Terminal and Concourse Facts:

The airport terminal and concourse, which encompasses ten levels and covers 2,450,000 square feet. This is the main display area, but not the only one. The installation of the official décor of the terminal has been delayed so as to have wide open spaces to display the various vehicles, though there will be plenty of plush seating for foot weary expo goers. However the engineers have thoughtfully slowed the moving slide walks for ease of display viewing and that should mitigate some of that problem. Plus everything has been designed to handle the handicapped a well.

There is, as I am sure you have all heard, a StarMarqe mega theater within the concourse. It has fifteen theaters with seating for up to three hundred in each theater, with roomy doublewide stadium seating. Every car movie ever made will be showing, including every Bond movie, as every Bond car will be on special exhibit. We also have the honor of having the United States National Museum, the Smithsonian loaning us the vehicles in their exhibit "Car's a Century of Progress"

And refreshments? Look no further than the three full-scale restraunts on each of the ten levels. Thirty of the finest restraunts from around the world have agreed to temporarily open their doors here just for this exposition. For lighter more impromptu fare, there will be countless food and beverage kiosks on each level as well. Alcohol will be sold, but hard liquor and wine only in the lounge areas that twenty of the restraunts will be operating. In the concourse and in the hangers and demo areas it will be beer and hard cider only


Exterior facts:

The airport operations covers over 20,000 acres of island, more than twenty five square miles. The island which is just over thirty seven square miles lies less than a mile off the ‘Big Island’ and is connected by a pair of five lane double decker bridges, as well as high speed monorail.

There are 4 parallel runways. At 100 meters wide each, the shortest one is 6,000 meters, one is 5400 meters, and the other two are 4700 meters long respectively. There are 8 parallel taxiways. The runways and taxiways will be used for the various racing and performance events. There will be seating for spectators both inside the terminal and outside in the stadium to watch the Formula One racing, the NASCAR Racing, the Drag, Top Fuel, and Funny Car Racing, Destruction Derby, and the Drifting Events.


Secondary Expo spaces.

The five airlines that will be maintaining ‘home port’ status at TMZIA have graciously offered their newly constructed hangars for the use of the invited racing teams and any tuners or other groups that wish to put on demonstrations. There are 30 hangers capable of housing multiple wide bodies. The smallest ones have bay areas of 985 ft long, 295 ft wide with ceilings of 115 ft high. The largest ones are double those dimensions. These all have shop facilities, and luxurious office space integral to their designs, as well as our very special top-notch security. The racing teams will be showcased there, as will the funny cars, drifters, and off road vehicles. Electric trams will run from multiple departure points in the main terminal to the hanger zone, and there will be food and drink kiosks in that area as well.


Medical-Fire-Emergency:

We have already set up 60 Aid stations and 30 medical bays in the main terminal and a medical bay in each of the hangers. There will be one at each of the racing and demo spaces. All will be fully staffed at all times, even after the expo closes each night. Also HQ’s Main Hospital will have thirty ambulances and crews by on site, as well as two air ambulances on call. We will have three full companies of fire fighters on site again twenty four seven and a dedicated SAR crew just to be safe.


Hotels:

Between the closest airport hotel, and the terminal building are the four 5-storey car park buildings with a combined capacity of 20,000 cars, and we will need every parking space. The major players have already reserved 98 % of the hotel rooms on the island, and the ten hotels closest to the island are reporting reservations filling some ninety percent of their rooms. The names are a roster of every manufacturer out there, from Acura to Volvo and all in-between!

There are six luxurious hotels on the island - three are hotels with casinos- and all are attached to the TMZIA terminal via both subway and overhead monorail as well as surface streets. Each of the six hotels has nearly a square mile of gardens and green space, set with swimming lagoons, tennis courts, spa’s, hiking, biking and riding rails and more. There is also an eighteen-hole golf course, a complete athletics center, and day care center. Two of them have private beachfronts with pink powder sand beaches stretching for nearly a half mile on either side with plenty of water sports equipment. They all offer access to the nearly five thousand acre nature preserve and biosphere.

Those on the ‘big island’ have closer proximity to our just opened last year world-renowned theme park, War World. I don’t have to tell you about War World, but expect there to be extreme interest in the many specials it will be offering for that month as well.


The TMZ Automotive Excellence Exposition. The first of it's kind at Nations States. If you have a racing team, or are a vehicle manufacturer, a tuning shop, a design center, you are welcome to enter the Expo.

if you are just interested in hot vehicles you are welcome to come and peruse the offerings. The best of the best will be on display and in action!

'The UD or UF1RTUDATM as was the official name (Uir Ducks and Uir Formula 1 Racing Team Using Ducks As Thier Mascot) were quite pleased to get an invitation to the TMZIA. It was the first time they had been invited to anything. Of course, they also had to notify the UMMC or Uir Mobile Merchants Club to bring them along as they too would profit from the Expo.'

Please note that there will be no Mascot brought, only pictures of ducks on a few of the cars and on the UD's race/engineering suits. We shall need accomadation for 34. 25 merchants, 3 drivers, 1 coach and 5 engineers. We shall bring 3 F1 models and 10 of the latest models from Uir manufacturers.

Pan-Arab Barronia will be happy to showcase some of her emergency service vehicles, and the BAW Racing Team will be attending, along with various vehicles from BAW's fleet, including the pioneering Acel H-X54 Hydride Bus.

If possible, one hanger would be preferred, as our stall will require a lot of equipment, upwards of 20 engineers, 50 drivers, 25 merchants, 5 coaches, 1 helicopter, and several mobile homes.

Looks interesting. Keep a spot open for me. I'll return with info later.

We have a few cars that we would like to show off to the public and are certainly interested in participating in this event. Below is a list and brief discription of the cars we plan to show at the convention.

The interior and sound system is of the highest standard with mobile phone technology integrated into the car to support basically any mobile phone in use.

Verona Lear - A Stretch Limosine with a difference designed to be bullet and explosion proof the Lear is the pinnacle of armoured limosines with a hardened outer shell, and disperses energy from under car explosions to out the sides. The Lear is in use by the Government as a diplomatic limosine.

I will be glad to reserve our largest food kiosk, placed on the second level where the greater majority of the expo attendees must pass both on arrival and departure, for your company. The kiosk has thirty serving lines, with both a walk in freezer and refridgerator in the 'core' of the kiosk. It has, I am told, the kitchen facilities equal to those found in the largest professional catering kitchens. Your technicians can email our Master Sergeant Kittiboro for more details. The Master Sergeant is in charge of handing all cooking, catering and dining venues for the Exposition.

Sincerely,
Cpt. Abigail Hardcastle

(OOC: I don't have a lot of time to make a detailed post, but consider me signed up: The complete VLT Automotive Group, including VLT, Monteluci, Bar-Hahs and Motortrepale Londii, aswell as the Monteluci F1 team, VLT and Monteluci Touring Car teams, aswell as all the other teams run by VLT, including a Le Mans/Endurance racing team, and several classic cars.)

From: Hans Schmidt, Sales Division, VLT Automotive Group N.V.
To: TMZ Automotive Expo, Cpt. Abigail Hardcastle
Subject: Signup

Dear Sir,

VLT is honoured to exhibit it's full model range at your exposition. All models currently produced by the brand and it's subisidiaries will be present, including the Monteluci F1 Racing Team, VLT and Monteluci Touring Car teams, VLT Le Mans 24h, etcetera etcetera. They will be giving demonstrations and shows one at a time, giving the spectator the possibility to see all demo's.

Other interesting vehicles:

The VLT L8, with a price of $1.5 million USD and a production limited to 1 car per person and 5 vehicles per nation per year, will also be shown on the expo.

A 1911 Monteluci Pangea, one of the first Monteluci cars. Although 1911 was the fourth year of production for the Pangea, this is generally found to be the best Pangea of all. Partof the Van Luxemburgian Classic Preservation Fund, Property of the Grand Duke's Automobile Collection inventory. Current Price Estimate: $1.2 million USD. Vehicles Made: 27

a 1934 Monteluci Tipo 188, one of the most successful Van Luxemburgian racing cars ever to be made. Property of the Monteluci Family inventory. Current Price Estimate: $22 million USD. Vehicles Made: 3

A 1947 VLT L3, the very first car made by VLT. While founded in 1946, VLT did manage to start full scale production by 1948: All vehicles before 1948 are extremely rare, and at least half of them have been digested by rust or ended up onto scrapheads for other reasons. Of the first L3, which has been produced from 1948-1962. Property of the Grand Duke's Automobile Collection inventory. Current Price Estimate: $180,000. Vehicles Made: (1947) 500, (1948-1962) 20,000,000

A 1975 VLT L7 Staatslimousine, VLT's most luxurious top model in the 70's, used only by the Premier of Van Luxemburg. This vehicle has been lovingly restored by the exports of the Grand Ducal workshops, where highly skilled mechanics only work with the best parts, preferably original or high-quality remakes. This particular vehicles has costed more than $100,000 USD to restore, since L7 parts are extremely rare, and had to be custom-made. Property of the Grand Duke's Automobile Collection inventory. Current Price estimate: $300,000. Vehicles Made: 5

This is only a small example of what we will take to the exhibition: VLT will require a large amount of storage and exhibition space. Due to the delicate nature of the classic vehicles, we prefer to exhibit these vehicles in a heated and dry place, with at least a little bit of protection from sunlight.

I believe our department can arrange hotel rooms for everyone, so that won't be a problem.

Signed,

Hans Schmidt,
Sales Division,
VLT Automotive Group N.V.

Alfegos wishes to participate, with a display showing the latest range of sports vehicles from AFC vehicles.

We will be sending 4 cars by air.

The rooms, suites actually were going to be offered to the various exhibitors as part of their packages. The hotelsl are very luxurious with all of the amenitites such highly rated establishments are exdpected to offer.

Velog is also interested in sending cars for the expo (probably 3).

The same happens with Zap Carros, another big car manufacturer, which will probably send 2 cars.

Thanks for inviting us

I'm sure we can arrange something, we're just worried about space for the cars. Besides, its probably better we don't stay anywhere that has anything expensive at easy access. The boys and I have been known to tear things up in a good party, so I'm not sure what hotel would really accept us anyways. Unless they don't mind keggers and throwing TVs out windows. We tend to be a bit Motley Crue like that. I'm sure we'll be seeing you at the show,

We'll need a concourse spot. And the hotel sounds wonderful. Looking forward to it,

However you choose to set us up works for me. I'm not all that concerned really, just want to show off some of my cars. Hope to see you there,

Thomas Gibbson, New Owl Customs
____
We will need hotel rooms, prefrably individual rooms for the shop employees. The apartments will be fine for the support personel, as they will need quick access to the concourse in order to set up for show. They'll be setting up for the most part, then taking part in different show activities. Hope this is acceptable

It's a stroke, it's the bore, it's really not a pity
To be looking at the timing, not looking at the city

[THE IMITORAN]
Whaddya mean? Ya seen one crowded, polluted, stinking town --

[COMPANY]
Beer, Guns, Cold ‘n and Hot,
Come see all that Psychosis has got

[THE IMITORAN]
Lay rubber! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks behind the wheel, for real

[COMPANY]
One night against Psychosis makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night racing Psychosis and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the Cobra rolling next to me

[THE IMITORAN]
Exposition's gonna be the witness
To the ultimate test of automotive fitness
This grips me more than would a
overcrowded casino or amusement park-a

And thank God I'm only watching the race -- controlling it --

I don't see you guys rating
The kind of racing I'm contemplating
I'll let you watch, I would invite you.
But cars we use would way too excite you.

So you better go back to your bars, your wars, your massage
parlours --

[COMPANY]
Hand it over to Psychosis and your car’s perfection
The boys got your template but the parts ain't free
You’ll win the race to every intersection
Since you’re lucky then your car’ll be
I can see the Evo rolling next to me

One night against Psychosis makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night racing Psychosis and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the Dominator rolling next to me

Giggle madly. Be wary of the wolf, he doen't play fair.

I am editing to add that this post was made LATER that Imitora's below me!

Dear lord...

We have a jingle. This could get very bad. Or very good. Or the Psychosis cars could sweep in, whup up on eveyrone, take the cash, and leave.

Shakes head sadly - I don't think I can find a decent karaoke version of One Night ..oh well

The Candrian Empire contacted me by TG and aswked that I note that they will be bringing several automobiles for the Exposition. I must say that I am very plese with such a wide response and I will reserve the appropriate space for them, and their fine automobiles.

We will participate, we will send 4 Afterburner Automotive Thunderbolt sports cars to the event, as well as 5 M-501 Duce and a Half vehicles, along with some of our emergency vehicles.

Sincerely,

This is an important request from the GM

Please, if at all possible, when posting in the IC thread, please don't put sigs. Just remember to uncheck the box in the Misc. Options before you submit a post.

Many thanks

Abagail

Noted. Any particular reason for this request?

It just gets to sometimes I can't tell where the actual post stops and the sig begins.

Also sigs can be aweful distracting if the post is shorter than the sig.

Abagail the nearly blind.

Now that I have time to relax and post, I am responding to the invitation TG. However, I am quite tired so it will be purely OOC at the moment.

Executive Motors will be the only company to attend.
They will be showing off two cars and a soon-to-be-released "concept."
Thus they will need only a little bit of room.
Total personnel will be 5 including CEO Stone Vitleza.

Good to see ya here DMG, but how bout getting some sleep? Tis more important than posting.

lol, it's more of exhaustion from school and soccer rather than lack of sleep. Just a little burned out and in need of some resting and relaxation... which I am getting now.

Dear Mr. Vitleza.
CEO Executive Motors

We are most please to see that you are able to attend! We have secured an exhibit space on the second floor, near the exhibits from HotRodia and Van Luxemburg. Also you have suites reserved at the Hotel Tres D'Or.

Sincerely,

Cpt. Abagail Hardcastle

Hey Tarl, Long time no see! Good to see you here - we'll be contesting against each other with good old american motor power I see - Nice cars!

Thanks! Great to be back.

The Revel-Celestar WGPC team will display the car at the expo. Visitors will be invited to wear the team jumpsuit and take photos of themselves pretending to be a World Grand Prix Championship driver.

Good to see you, Kelssek. :)

And as a note to TMZ, I'm sorry about leaving my sig on for that first post. I forgot. But I went back and edited it out today.
