Sunday 9 August 2026, and here we are again with another instalment of Cardle of the Day, Tarmac Life’s daily ritual of squinting at progressively less cropped photographs until I figure a car out, or my patience runs out. If you haven’t played Cardle before, the premise is beautifully simple: one car, five photo clues, each one a little wider than the last. How Today’s Puzzle Played OutToday’s puzzle opened tight, showing what could have been almost anything purple. With enough of the car finally visible, today’s puzzle landed on Nissan Silvia, or 200SX if you really are Kiwi-centric. Yep, Silvia, not 200SXThe Nissan Silvia has a history that stretches back to 1965, when the original hand-built S10 debuted at the Tokyo Motor Show as a genuine grand tourer.
