Subject: How many cylinders do you have?
Peter Egan's latest column on R & T is about the number of cylinders we
have.
My current count is 17, for instance. 8cyl. Silverado, 8 cyl. Firebird, 1
cyl. Go-Ped. Meager by some counts. I think Egan's current count is 58.
Then there is your life's total. Mine is 110 (including 18 4 bangers, and
17
cars that have been autocrossed). Egan's is nearly 300, I think.
By the way, Egan says that anything with internal combustion engines counts,
including lawn mowers, weed whackers, etc., and reminds us of something that
we all know, there are levels of quality, too. 12 lawn mowers does NOT
equal
1 Ferrari 275!
For counting purposes, Egan didn't have to count Rotaries, or at least
didn't
mention it. I figured them as 6 cylinder engines (3 chambers X 2 rotors).
Okay, let's hear your numbers, complete with lies, excuses, stories!
