Will Becker, Minister of Economics, would be interested in knowing if Wunderburgen Autos would like to sell their vehicles in Vitolia.

We would be more than willing to open a regional dealership in your nation Mr. Becker.

Outstanding.

Look Inc. is interested in a partnership with Wunderburgen Automobiles.

To: Leaders of Look Inc.

While we are looking to possibly partner with a foreign manufacturer to expand our offerings to our valued customers, we have stipulations for who we would partner with. Listed below are the basic requirements, with further requirements that will be detailed during negotiations.


A detailed look at your Automotive Offerings
Current production costs vs expenditures
A tour of your main manufacturing facility


If you are willing to provide these simple things for us, we would be willing to possibly enter negotiations with you. Until then, have a wonderful day.

Signed,

Look Inc. is a electronics company, we also export oil and natural gas. We are the largest corporation in Greal, and probably one of the largest in the world, we just want to help spread your influence throughout the world.

Currently we do not see how partnering with an Electronics Company would benefit us, and have to respectfully refuse the offer.

To: Wunderburgen Automobiles,

VLT Automotive Group N.V. is always interested in acquiring additional assets. This not only means we are interested in buying automobile manufacturers, but also engine manufacturers, automotive electronics companies and parts distribution corporations. In this brochure, we will be explaining you why your company should join VLT Automotive.

Who is VLT Automotive?

VLT Automotive is one of the world’s largest automobile manufacturers. With an annual profit approaching 30 trillion USD, and sales around 1.2 trillion units annually, VLT cannot be neglected on the Automotive market. Grand Duke Koen van Luxemburg of Van Luxemburg owns the majority of shares in VLT Automotive, with the Van Luxemburgian Government owning all remaining shares. As an N.V. not noted on the Stock Market, VLT cannot be bought by any foreign conglomerate, meaning a safe and stable future for your company.

VLT Automotive was founded in 1946, and has produced a successful model range ever since. Since 1995, VLT also has the licenses to domestically produce all cars destined for the Van Luxemburgian market, meaning VLT has almost got a monopoly on homeland sales. When your company is taken up by the VLT Automotive Group, you will also be offered a vast new market: Van Luxemburg. With total annual sales exceeding 180 million, and still rising, Van Luxemburg is an excellent opportunity for any VLT Automotive subsidiary.

Why VLT Automotive?

There are a few reasons why you should join VLT Automotive:

- A stable new market: Van Luxemburg
- Access to VLT technology and engines
- A certain degree of independence guarantees your identity
- VLT-allocated budgets allow for better cars
- VLT stands for good treatment of your employees
- Better for your economy, since VLT will produce most cars destined for your markets in your own nation
- VLT Automotive is always expanding, meaning new markets will be opened up continually
- We pay for the acquirement of your company in lucrative amounts, related to the size of your company.

Mrs. Becker,

While we are duly impressed with your offer, we have no choice but to turn you down. As the largest auto manufacturer in Soulia, and one of the largest in the world, we do not feel the need to become a subsidiary of a foreign company. We look forward to competing with you.

Unsigned

From: Kristin Becker, Board of Managers, VLT Automotive Group N.V.
To: Unsigned, Wunderburgen Automobiles, Flaming Souls

Dear Sir/Ma'am,

We are sorry that we have to hear about your decision by an unsigned letter, but things seem to work out this way. While you have turned our order down, we encourage you to keep our order in the back of your mind, it will remain valid.

On another note, we wish to place a sidenote at your claim to be one of the largest automobile manufacturers in the world; We have not yet seen any sales and profit records of Wunderburgen, which would have to prove that you indeed belong to the select group of brands that can call themselves the largest in the world.

Signed,

Kristin Becker,
Board of Managers,
VLT Automotive Group N.V.

Mrs. Becker,

We sincerely apologize for sending an unsigned letter, one of our interns was a little out of it the other day. As to our claim of being one of the largest in the world, it is not so much a claim as a promise. We will be a contender on the international scene, no two ways about it. Again, we apologize for the unsigned letter.

J. Finklestein

(OOC: Sorry about that really, I got a little rushed and had to go to work for a bit to cover someone no call no showing.)

From: Kristin Becker, Board of Managers, VLT Automotive Group N.V.
To: J. Finklestein, Wunderburgen Automobiles, Flaming Souls

Dear Sir/Ma'am,

This is no problem; We all have such days. Concerning your promise: we welcome you to the international scene.

Signed,

Kristin Becker,
Board of Managers,
VLT Automotive Group N.V.

(OOC: No problem.)

The new 2008 Eco is the perfect car for around town. Simple, efficient, and elegant, the Eco is the first in a line of environmentally friendly, fuel-efficient vehicles. Able to run off of organic fuels as well as standard fossil fuels. If you care about the world, this is the car for you.

A number of Imitoran automotive experts would like to query Wunderburgen Autos if they would care to race.

Also, we would like it if you would define your use of the term bio fuels.

We would be interested in a race. If you can provide technical data on the car(s) you will be racing we will see what we can arrange.

Thank you,
Wunderburgen General Management.

As for our Eco's use of organic fuels, we refer to Bio-Diesel and other organically produced fuels.

Vehicle information:

Internal Motor:HKS Cams
Fuel System: 1600cc Bosch Injectors; WOTM -10 Fuel lines; Weldon Fuel Pressure Regulator; Walbro Fuel Pumps; AEM EMS with Custom Psychosis C16 Fuel Tune
Brakes and Suspension: Brembo full BBK, Stainless Steel Lines; Tien EDFC Coilovers and controller; 19x9.5(F), 19x11(R) HRE 847Rs Wheels; Bridgestone Potenza RE010A tires at 265/30 Front, 295/30 Rear
Driveline: Tilton Tripple Disk Clutch; TMS Carbon Fiber Driveshaft; Six Speed transmission; Unorthodox Racing Flywheel

The car is capable of speeds in the 220-230mph range, pushing around 1500rwhp. Quarter mile times are in the low eight second range on the six speed transmission, with trap speeds around 175-180mph. It was built as more of a show car for Psychosis Motorsports capabilities. However, after the first build was complete, Psychosis Motorsports has become the Imitoran shop for high horsepower Supra builds, turning out 1000-1100rwhp vehicles regularly. Shop owner Ryan Fortier personally owns a 1600rwhp 250mph Supra (among a rather expansive collection), and the shop is working on a drag built Supra to compliment its stable of Vipers.

The assumption was made for a top end race, or the standard Imitoran five miler race. However, if you are more interested in a 1/4 mile drag, road course, or all around vehicle competition, please let us know so that we can supply an appropriate vehicle.

If this car is deemed to fast, we have a few lightly modified sport bikes that may be more of a competition.

As for our Eco's use of organic fuels, we refer to Bio-Diesel and other organically produced fuels.

So...how does it work? Running diesel through a standard fuel motor?

It actually runs a diesel motor specifically designed to operate on organic or fossil fuels, so it works like a standard diesel engine.

So is it a diesel motor or a standard fuel motor?

OOC: Diesel, which was not mentioned in the details above due to being tired and forgetting things.

TO: Wunderburgen Automobiles, Flaming Souls

Your entry into the NS world of automotive design and production is most welcome, and while the current TMZ Automotive Excellence Exposition (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=537722) is currently ongoing, I hope that you will be willing to bring your offerings to our next one. We wish you every luck in your automotive endeavors.

Sincerely,

Captain Abagail Hardcastle

So what about the race?

Unfortunately we have to decline. We don't see the point in your challenging a car dealership to a race with your rice burners. And as car modifications to that degree are considered "silly" in Soulia, we wonder as to your motives.

Since when has 1500rwhp been rice? Oh, since you were to afraid to race, thats when. Oh well, just goes to further prove the point that no one in the world can race with Imitorans. Yet another nation full of frightened children. Be sure to give us a ring when you grow a pair of balls, by then you might have something that could keep up. Good luck selling the shit you sling,

Ryan Fortier
Psychosis Motorsports
