Idle musings to ascertain the most common cylinder (or 'Pistonhead') count in PHer land. Oh, and there is an option for people who accidentally ended up here instead of on RotaryHeads wink Feel free to vote more than once if you have multiple vehicles.

I'll get the ball rolling with my 5 pot chariot.

Six for me, in a good old Vee shape. But two more wouldn't go amiss..

I cant figure out how to do multiple votes.

I'm a rotaryhead but also have a six-pot, two four-pots and two one-pots. :-D

Erm, well I did select the option for multiple entries, but it seems you can't have the same entry counted twice (ie. you can have i4, v6 and v8 but not v6 and v6). I thinktype

I have 38 including MrsC's trolley; would have been 42 if you'd asked 3 months ago when I had a second V8* now replaced with an IL4 frown. Interestingly (or, in fact, actually not), the even number of 38 includes two machines configured with an odd number of pistonheads - a 5 and a 1.

* You can never have too many V8s. One simply seems insufficient.
