I am at 82 with just the stuff I currently own

Having a lot of V8's helps.

Excluding my wife's cars (even though all cars our really both our cars):

4+4+4+4+6+10+10+4+8+8=62cyl

Maybe we could add lifetime hp as well, just for fun, which brings me out at 2916hp (based on manufacturers spec).I have no idea why it's satisfying to count these things up haha.

4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,6,6,4,6,6,6,6 = 76.

Of course, it depends how long you keep them and how long you've been driving.

Perhaps average cylinders is a better measure?

Mine is 4.75.

Need to buy a V8 soon!

Been driving since 1998. My cylinder count is only 18 from 4 cars and 2 lawnmowers.

I keep my cars (and lawnmowers) a long time......

How about a lifetime valve count, I think mine is 64.

Ignoring company cars and wife's cars, I'm on 98. 40 years of driving.

Adding in garden machinery gets me to 102.

Ooooh, I hadn't counted the ride on lawnmower - add another 2 cylinders.. :-) so 84.... and just for fun that makes 41.4 litres

I have 5 V8's and a bunch of less fun cars

I am not counting the various generators, strimmers and chainsaws I own as I cannot drive them.
