Hello Hans - living right down the street (Audi design is Simi Valley, CA), 
so to speak, from Freeman Thomas - one of the New Bug designers, I will tell 
him.  Freeman left Chrysler to go back to work with his old Audi design 
boss, J. May.  They are both at Ford - maybe for the last couple of years.

BMW has a design center over in Newberry Park - fun thing to do is go over 
there on a Sunday when no one is around and go to the back the design 
building.  Outside there is a turn table while the all glass building 
surrounds it - go over there to see what will be put on the turn table on 
Monday.  ah ah ah

Freeman is an interesting fellow.  When he was at Ital Design, working on 
the Audi TT, he mentioned there are several companies that use Ital.  So you 
may have several hot new cars being built there, behind closed doors - so to 
speak.  Every once in a while they would get together for a dinner - most 
boring thing that could happen - - - no one was into sports, and they 
couldn't talk about work.  ah ah

PS - enjoyed your pictures.  Fun stuff, eh?
