What do we know so far?

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

They have two RWD cars with a total of 6 cylinders.

Their cars are gasoline powered and each have 4 wheels.

Their cars are registered in the EU.

One car is a non AMG, non C, A, or S class, 4 cylinder Mercedes conceived in Baden-Württemberg, produced in Bremen.

One car is probably a Polish Fiat. The badge is just Fiat. It has 2 cylinders.

Their cars were made in 1998 and 1999

They are not PatBateman or Flavien Vidal

The German car is a Mercedes C, CLK, SL, SLK, or GLK class. All built in Bremen. I’m leaning towards C class, since I don't know of anyone who owns any others besides JGrabowMSt. Other car is either a Volvo, Maserati, Fiat, or Ferrari. So it's most likely someone with a C class and a Volvo if I'm not mistaken.

How do you know Mercedes?

He said its from Baden-Wurttemberg, which is the home of Daimler. And the five cars I mean ruined are built in Bremen, which he says is his car’s birthplace.

He said it was a car that had one circle in the badge and was from Stuttgart.

Could it possibly be Smart? Only 6 cylinders between both cars.

Update says it's a Merc, but the six total cylinders thing is throwing me off.

Well Smart is owned by Mercedes and has a 3 cylinder. That also means the other car would be a 3 banger.

Maybe one is electric?

They have two RWD cars with a total of 6 cylinders

total of 6 so that would mean 2 and 4 or 3 and 3 or 6 and electric?

OOOH! I think the second car might be a Fiat Panda TwinAir or another 2 cylinder Fiat. Fits the description perfectly. So that means they have a 4 cylinder Mercedes, most likely C class.

Edit: hang on, those are front drive. Maybe opposaurus is right about electric?

Has to be. But I can’t think of any RWD electric cars.

I asked if they were Flavien Vidal with the rotary NSU or 2cyl Panhard, but the NSU is German and he has more than one car so I don’t think that’s the answer.

Not electric.

Just saw. How is this possible?

Also, Mercedes makes no gasoline 3 cylinders (they did have a diesel 3 cyl).

Any other European 5 cylinders besides Volvo?

Van Man, rocks the Man Van > Slant6 03/10/2016 at 15:22

And it’s not a Volvo either. Must be Fiat then, since he basically said its not British. Unless it’s actually a Morgan 3 Wheeler? Whatever it is it’s not German, Swedish, or French and has 2 cylinders.

Slant6 > Van Man, rocks the Man Van 03/10/2016 at 15:22

He said 8 wheels total.

VW, but nothing RWD, so that just leaves 5 cylinder Mercedes diesels: 190D 2.5, 300D 2.5, 300D, 300SD, 300CD, 300TD. Who’s got one of them?

Van Man, rocks the Man Van > Slant6 03/10/2016 at 15:24

Oh yeah. However the only mass production two cylinder I can think of is the Fiat TwinAir, which I'm fairly certain has no RWD applications.

It’s also not British because someone asked if they were counting the UK as a Euro country and burner responded that it was irrelevant.

of course, i’m like there wouldnt be a one cylinder

Both cars run on gasoline.

Audi 100? Not sure if RWD...

I think it has to be two 3 cylinders. They’re the most mainstream

They dodged the Italian question. Due to the ambiguity, I asked if it was a Lada. Asked if it was a Fiat, but no response yet.

One is 4 cylinders, the other is 2.

Something Mercedes with 4 cylinders appears to be one of the two cars.

Fiat Panda? 500? Trabant?

They are an Opponaught so they could be crazy enough to have some 1 cylinder weirdomobile.

He said one is a 4 cylinder.

Ok. 4 cylinder Mercedes then 2 cylinder Italian.

Original Fiat 500 or a variation of it, or the Italian designed Isetta.

Eric @ opposite-lock.com > Van Man, rocks the Man Van 03/10/2016 at 16:53

Since the German car is almost guaranteed to be a 4 cylinder, the Italian (or not Italian?) must be 2. We should verify this.

It could be something oddball like a Piaggio Porter, based on the “It can be argued that it is”, since that comes with a 2-cyl diesel. But I’m thinking something like a Fiat 500, Panda, 126, or similar (or something produced under license).

You did well, lots of clever answers! Once the second car was narrowed down to a 2-cylinder RWD that could be interpreted as Italian I knew that it had to be a 126, not many on oppo with one of those.

The 126 is why I was reluctant to give up the countries of origin straight away. I knew it’d lead people straight to me within the first few questions. If I said the car was Polish then it’s too simple and straight up saying Italian would be a bit disingenuous. I also liked how the whole ‘6 cylinders between 2 RWD cars’ thing gave some people a little mindfuck. :D
