Went too old, possibly because I usually go too new...

Cardle | A Daily Car Quiz A daily quiz for car fans, inspired by Wordle. Guess the car from the photos. Each wrong guess gives more clues.

I got one! Possibly not as old as it first appears.

My logic is that meals for one are designed for old people, and are therefore half portions.

One of those rare occasions when POA is probably justified.

Cardle Guess the car in 5 tries. A new car is available each day.

I should have got it second go, but I had a pre-caffeine brainfart and guessed the same year twice. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

That should be in the Vatican, for use exclusively by the Poope.

Nearly. I should probably have gone with the make I thought it was to start with.

The only people who truly believe Bluesky is "becoming a ghost town" are those who measure engagement entirely by the number of likes they get on their shit takes. Those people should probably stick to Xitter and LinkedIn.

There’s a few of us who tend to look like that. 🫣

Remember the launch of online tax returns? That was a good one. You submitted your return on a shiny new web front end. Then somebody in Telford printed it off and keyed it into the legacy system.

Been having a go at the other Cardle. This version is very much biased towards UK classics, which it turns out I'm not very good at. Five goes to get the make and model exactly right. Anyway, finally got one. Probably should have got it first guess.

The formal apology about his AI twin saying a particular sector of his consistency should be placed in camps will be entertaining to say the least.

Oh, I'm sure it's what they genuinely like, but in a sort of obsessive, can't help themselves kind of way. Like hoarding but blingier.

There's definitely more fake gold. 😬

I know where that lives. It appears to have been, erm, enhanced since I saw it.
