New Strands Today (Game #438) – The answers
The answers to today’s threads, game #438, is …
- BEETLE
- Bronco
- Mustang
- RABBIT
- Impala
- Jaguar
- Spanggram: Cars
- My rating: Hard
- My score: 2 tips
It took me a while to get started today and the word my tip gave me – Beetle – didn’t help much as Beetle Drive is a game. Fortunately, another tip put me on the way: There is no game called Bronco Drive.
From Chevrolet Impala to Ford Mustang, American car manufacturers love to name their cars by members of the animal kingdom, especially land animals or slim aerodynamic beings such as Baracuda or Falcon.
This is not the case in Europe, where they like to give their different models letters and numbers, wind or compound wording containing the letter Q. The exception is of course Beetle, originally called Volkswagen Type 1 until its nickname is stuck.
How did you do today? Tell me that in the comments below.
