Internal combustion powered device that dont "Do it" for you

[Benbay001]

I ran out of letter for the title, so im very sorry.
Id have liked to have put "Are there any internal combustion powered devices that dont 'do it' for you?"
I cant think of any, personally.
I like-
- Cars
- Planes
- Lawnmowers
- Bikes
- Tractors
- Boats
- HGVs


There is even something interesting about generators.. :-/
How about you? Are there any uses for the internal combustion engine, that really dont excite you in anyway?

Gee, i didnt consider that one. Me neither. Thread obsolete.

Boats without guns, aside from "Wow that is big"

Trucks

Trains

Generators (you sad git!)

Tractors

I can appreciate a nice motorbike, but I don't take anything more than a passing interest in them.

So mostly cars for me.

A bit more specific, but Diesel car engines, no matter how technical or 'amazing' they may be have about as much wow to them as the proverbial BR cheese sandwich.... Where's the spark...

(Now a Deltic on the other hand, especially a very cold clagging one is something else entirely)

2 stroke fking strimmers.

I know I've spent years wking one of those bd things off trying to start it after winter. Will it start will it fk.

fking y stty 2 strokes in scooters with horrible loud toss pot exhausts on them.

Police ignore them but pull lovely sounding bikes with decent cans on them.

Funny somebody should mention 2 strokes, my pet hate 2 stroke bikes/mopeds. The noise just offends me.

[Benbay001]

2 strokes sound fantastic. As long as they are diesel. (Google it, it may convert you)

Deltic or Detroit is good stuff.

Cock end scooter making a fking din and going nowhere is completely unacceptable!
