I'm sorry, most people in my nation would find these cars weird. So, having your business in my nation is going to be a loss to your company.

cute, but they'd need to be narrower, not shorter, with a human powered option, and not normally powered by any sort of combustion.

it would also help if they had hydraulic arms to climb over obstacles as we have no publicly maintained pavement wider then a two lane bike path. instead we have lots of very small railways, who's power and rolling stock are quite similarly proportioned.

cameroi is willing to consider licensing agreements to permit you to mass produce them (our micro-rail internals, with your superstructure designs) for other nations if you wish.

http://www.furaffinity.net/full/2910306/

is a reference image, indicative of proportions (quite similar to those of your roadway vehicles).
dimensioned working drawings available on request.

automotive vehicles are not normally permitted to be manufactured in nor imported into cameroi, but vehicles of the proportions depicted would not be unwelcome, provided they met the requisite environmental and cultural 'topspec'. (as mentioned in the first line of this reply)

To Sungai Pasat,

We realise that we are something of a niche market, if you ever feel that the demand for our vehicles is great enough to warrant us being there please do not hesitate to get in touch. Otherwise, we thank you for the time you took to get into contact with us.

To Cameroi,

We have found your proposal to be most interesting, and applaud your nations internal transit system as a hallmark of efficiency. We would be delighted to redesign a number of our models whilst keeping the design aesthetic intact. However, we must inquire as to the projected profit incurred from such a venture, before we undertake the effort to overhaul the design and re purpose some of our manufacturing lines.

To: Eastern Acadia

We have showed this too many people. Yes, it is unpopular in cities, where approx. 88% of the population live in, but the 12% of the population (About 60 million people, enough for your company to become the top 100 in our country) say that they want these cars. A bit awkward, but even more awkward would be if my nation did not allow this free-market economy to be open to this. So I decided to allow your nation to have an office building and several factories in the nation. But a warning: Our nation is FT. Be prepared to open another company that sells the same things in the year 2206.

>We are very interested in Quirk Motoring as your cars are econiomical and small what people need these days, so we would really like to buy your company or a part of it. The only thing that will change as soon as you become a member of the elite LeBlanc Automotive Group is that you will have more support, mostly financialy by us. We will also provide you with money and new designs for future city cars and we could also provide you with quality V6 engines to make Quirk cars even more reliable. Please give us an answer as soon as possible...

Thank you,
Matt LeBlanc, CEO and owner

We are most gratified by the opportunity to commence business whiten your nation, naturally, utilising the trans-dimensional wormhole our company keeps in the spare room we will commence designing hovercraft versions to be shipped to Sungai Pusat in the year 2206. Or maybe we'll just leave them in a warehouse marked *not to be opened until 2206*; whichever is most effective.

In the meantime, if you could helpfully fill out the attached form it will be most helpful to us. Once more we thank you for your custom.

LeBlanc Automotive Group


Matt LeBlanc, whilst investment by external entities to fuel the companies growth is always looked upon well we do not believe that we are currently in a position to commence discussions of joint-corporate ventures. Quirk Motoring, a sub-group of Quirk Enterprises, is owned 50:50 by Quirk Enterprises of Eastern Arcadia and Franken Motors of the United States of Allanea.

Currently, with this arrangement, since Franken Motors provided the capital investment to start this burgeoning project whilst we retain most control over design, naturally, as we are sure you will understand, we are unwilling on our part to relinquish this status quo in the companies management; consequently, until Franken Motors opts to sell their shares we will not, for now, be auctioning off any potential investments into the company.

However, we hope that in the future, under more preferential circumstances, we will be able to engage in fruitful co-operation; we shall add you to our hot list of interested investors for when the appropriate time comes.

To: Quirk Motoring
From: Shaffian Automotive Market Analyst From Minister Of Business

The goal of the market analyst in the Ministry of Business is to help foreign companies prosper in Shaff.

The Sultanate Of Shaff has a massive vehicle market. All of the automobile manufacturers in the world sell here. We have sales of over 250 million cars a year due to goverment policies. While your current lineup is selling very well right now, with a predicted sales of 2.5 million monthly because of their low price/fuel efficiency, but we predict that the "old" styling of your vehicles will begin to impact sales in the future. We recommend that your vehicles for the Shaffian market be redesigned with new creative designs or we feel that within 2 years, your venture in Shaff will be unprofitable. The popular fad of the "old" designs will not last long I fear. Choose to listen or not.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank You For Your Time,
Selena Khan - Automotive Analyst Of The Ministry Of Business

We thank you for allowing Quirk to establish a presence within your esteemed nation, we hope that your populace find our cars to be of excellent use in the rush of modern life. Given the size and high population of your nation we will be expecting to open up a sales centre in every major and minor city, but it is also dependant upon the distance between them.
