Largest smallest-engined car...

[carl_w]

I was having a ponder today and realized that the smallest engined car I've ever owned was a 1.6. Has anyone had a larger smallest-engined car than that? I suspect they have.

Let's put down some ground rules:

1) Knock off 0.5 litres if you've only ever owned 1 car; knock off 0.2 litres if you've only ever owned 2
2) Knock off 0.1 litres for every year above the age of 19 that you owned the smallest-engined car. So, for example, if you didn't pass your test until you were 35 and you went and bought a Dodge Viper you'd get 8.0 litres minus 1.5 litres (blimey, that would still be really impressive).

I really, really do not understand what you are talking about despite reading your post three times. How come yours is 1.6 litres??

This is just strange.

What?

I've owned more than two cars, so I knock off what, 0?

I passed my test at 17, and I'm forty-something now, so presumably I knock off another nought.

Right. Off what?

I'm going to knock them off a kabillion. Do I win?

I don't really understand but I think the answer is Skoda Superb Estate 1.4 but I don't own one.

Largest smallest-engined car, eh?

[kamilb1998]

You've completely confused me.

OP, what are you on about?

I don't think there's a comma in that.

Commer. That was the largest smallest tracked van, wasn't it?

I'm Scottish. All the accents I do are to some extent fake.

In my native dialect it sounds like this:

"Chips".

I think I get it!

I messed up by owning 2 cars with 1-litre engines - Mini (proper one) and a Suzuki SJ410. Apart from those 2, the smallest were some Ford XRs with 1.6 litres.
Making up for it now, with a 3.0 and a 3.6, both sixes.
