It’s been said that variety is the spice of life and I was wondering what variety of engines have been driven by forummers?
Any vehicle that will carry one or more people can make the list.
Here’s my list so far:
Single cylinder,
V twin
3 cylinders
I4 and flat 4
I5
I6 and V6
V8
V10
Hybrid
Petrol
Diesel
2 stroke
4 stroke
Still to drive:
Rotary
V12 or bigger
Any W configuration
Flat 6
Electric
Hydrogen/fuel cell
Largest engine driven- 6.7 V10 truck
Smallest was a moped, around 50cc
