[s-cars] Looking for 92 spec build date and features info

[David Forgie]

Nope. Never knew that.  I know of a few of those cars in Canada but did not know
the Emre's was one of the same group of early build "show" cars.  That would explain
some things.  His VIN was NN09nnnn (Feb 92 build) so I assumed it was part of the 
normal US delivery.  Gabriel C.'s (local to me, lskolnick on quattroworld) was one of
show cars (for Audi Canada) and has the tuna can. But his was an 11/91 build date car.
