What car?

[Drago]

Regular readers of my alcohol infused alzheimers enhanced ramblings know that in 2020 I was left an XC90. As lovely as it was, it was a bit unnecessary and a lot of money to insure, tax and maintain, not to mention keep fuelled.

I decided last summer that enough time had passed to sell it without seeming ungrateful so sold up and went carless. However, this state of affairs did not last long as a visit to the doctor about my increasingly painful hip confirmed my worst fears - I am going to need a new one (hip, not XC90) before I'm too much older.

Running has now stopped (7:07 mile for anyone following that thread) and on my worst days I don't even fancy cycling on the ebike, so another was regrettably in order.

So what did I end up with? A G-Wizz, or a Pinzgaur? Another Smart, or a Stolly? Best guess wins a free fitting at Accy's tailor.

Welcome back @Drago

A couple of questions; firstly, if it's a hip-thing then do you need to be higher up? And how much space do you need?

That's from someone who had about 12 hours to decide how to spend a £30k prize win on a car last April, and ended up with a Honda CR-V hybrid, primarily due to space and height requirements. The hybrid's a bonus.

What budget?

What height?

What role city driving or cross country??

Diesel petrol hybrid or electric??

 

[Drago]

I'll give you some small clues.

The boot is big enough to take a large Labrador...just.

It's diseasel, although the model is available with petrol too.

It's European.

It's not a Dacia. Couldn't have one of those - their owners possess an inverse version of Tesla owners smugness, so even if they cured cancer and brought about world peace I'd never own one.

Gavroche would grudgingly approve.

 

[DCLane]

If it's a Gavroche-type car I'm suggesting French, and a little bit stylish. But with space, so Citroen and Peugeot are out.

My guess is a Renault Grand Modus.

But then I know very little about cars.

Citroen C5 crossover thing 🇪🇺 ( couldn't find french flag)

 

[Slick]

I picture you as a Skoda Yeti.

 

[Drago]

Non, non and non. Detective Co stable Lane is closest, a,though it's not a Renfault or a Modulus, and 13 Rider is warmish.

 

[Jenkins]

Berlingo Multispace

I'll give you 1007 guesses.

 

[Jameshow]

Pug 1007! 🤣🤣

 

[Drago]

Not that obvious! But you're getting warmer...

 

[biggs682]

It has to be a Nissan Juke , it has the same manly image as @Drago has

 

[Drago]

Wrong make, but you're on the right lines for everything else.

Here it is. NEXT!
