German type 44 scene

[Zsolt Kovacs]

Hi Michael,

I have a hunch that car could actually be from the US. Probably a military guy
who owns it. When you're in cities where there is a base you see quite a few
of those cars. There is also a pic that shows the USA sticker on the back. I
bet this is the Audi.

I have a friend who imported his 86 Pontiac Parisienne to Germany when he
moved home (don't ask why). He had to go through quite a bit of hassle for the
alterations.

Cheers,
 Zsolt
