[s-cars] Audi billboard from IAA

[Mihnea Cotet]

Was it a Renault 12 or a Dacia 1410? AFAIK there's been quite a few Dacias
exported to the US, at least at that time there used to be a "Canadian
export model" of the aforementioned model.... dunno if it was actually
being sold there though... that was the first car I've ever driven, I was
11 and I drove it for 10 kilometers without the authorization to do so :-)))
