We will no doubt find out the answer later today, but if any of you would like to join in with the speculation, here is the scenario and the clues so far. My wife visited her elderly parents on Saturday and among the other family news from her mother was that apparently my wife’s sister has a new car. When my wife asked what it was, she was told that it was white, quite small and on an ‘18 plate. No other details were remembered other than it was petrol, manual and that it came from the same dealership as their Touareg, oh, and that it was thought to begin with a “C”. My wife asked if it was possibly a Corsa, a Clio or a Citroen, but that proved to be too hard a question. I’m going left field and betting on a Seat! Anyone want to pitch in with a guess? ;-) Reply to this message | Report message

Yes I think that is probably the only given. I’m still going with a Seat, her previous car was an Ibiza… I could of course just ring my brother in law to find out, but I’m quite enjoying the suspense. ;-) Reply to this message | Report message

Well, the garage is a VW main dealership, not that their used stock would necessarily be that brand. Reply to this message | Report message

Think they do them in white though, so it’s in contention. Reply to this message | Report message

>> Think they do them in white though, so it’s in contention. >> They do indeed - I recently saw a white Cullinan with the number plate GYP5Y. Surprisingly there wasn't a travelling caravan hocked on the back. Reply to this message | Report message

Could be a Corolla I suppose, but would that qualify as small? The tension mounts eh? ;-) Reply to this message | Report message

Guess it could be a C3 or a C4 Citroen, and Mazda do some C things I think. Edit- then there’s the C-Max of course. Last edited by: Runfer D'Hills on Mon 27 Feb 23 at 15:15 Reply to this message | Report message

Right well, now we know. It is white It is small (well, not all that small) It is a petrol It is a manual It is on an ‘18 plate It did come from a VW main dealer It is also a “Bluemotion” apparently (whatever that means?) It does not begin with a C and never did. It is…a Golf. …and evidently she loves it, so that’s good. ;-) Reply to this message | Report message

What is Bluemotion? www.swanswaygarages.com/blog/what-is-vw-bluemotion/ AIUI, in Germany at least, the word for Green is too political to be used in the sense it might be in English, hence Blue. Last edited by: Bromptonaut on Mon 27 Feb 23 at 21:50 Reply to this message | Report message
