How many cylinders have you got? Obviously the more the better. That's cars, lawn mowers etc...

Sadly I can only boast 29, but at least they are all internal combustion cylinders. I have noticed a distinct lack of V8 in my collection, must get that sorted. 2 * Straight 6 1 * V6 1 * Flat 4 1 * V2 1 * in-line triple 1 * mower 1 * strimmer

There was me thinking you were one of those dull BMW drivers, and you've got a Vitesse 6 of my cylinders (the V6) are in a Spitfire (well, some of it's still a Spitfire anyway). James

2 x V8. A paltry 16, then, and one of them's a BMW, which I guess doesn't count? Hmmm, where's my beer?

That's a big old beastie for the pre 90's. I thought you were going for the Cavalier, as it was "the car to beat" when they were in the BTCC. Was it a case of the right car coming along at the right price and being hard to resist?
