How Many Pistons Do You Own?

[Fishtigua]

Just how many cylinders do you have to feed?

Cars, bikes, boats, generators, lawnmowers or strimmers. Count them up, you'll suprise yourself.

Slightly unusual figure of 17 at the moment. Looking to sell 4 though...

Sweet!



13 here, two cars and some garden 'toys'

[Vitorio]

4 in the family estate
4 in the fixer-upper project sitting on axle stands
4 in the spare engine sitting on a pallet

And about 50-60 in various lego technic stuff (got the Ferrari Enzo, 599 anf 1:8 F1 car amongst others)

11.
6 in mine,
4 in the wifes,
1 in my lawnmower.

Eleven, yep I have an ultra rare 1930s Bugatti type 47b with a straight eleven (because a 12 would have been too nose heavy!).........

Sorry back in the real world I have a 4cylinder Celica, a six cylinder BMW (e28 with an M30 just to annoy the anti e number brigade) and a single cylinder brush cutter for attacking the wilder parts of the garden.

Haven't got all day to count

Should have gone for a V16 'Vette engine. Much more compact.

Ten pistons, with an average of 3.2 valves serving each of them.

Straight eights and V16s make me go all funny! Not so easy to get hold of these days though........

Two cars, four pistons.
