Seasonal Activity - the cylinder game
Arjan's post about garages got me thinking so here is a challenge (I think) only Americans will win.
It's called the cylinder game.
Simple rules: you gotta add up the total number of cylinders in the gas (petrol) engines you personally own (as in 964's have 6 - most gas powered garden appliances have 1 etc.) Boats; tractors; planes, heck, everything counts. And the highest wins.....
No cheating now - personal toys only so, for example, if you own a trucking business you cannot add all those 8 and 10 cylinder lumps in!
I'm a babe with 37 - the real high rollers have 50+
The coolest one so far IMHO (other than Porsche)- a gas powered margherita machine!

I should add that before we moved to USA - we'd have had 8 - two turbo SAABs! and before that would have been at 4 - which is why I think the winner will be Stateside - but I could be wrong!

I think you need to come clean on 37...
I mean what the f**k? Give us a list. I once had 3 cars and a petrol lawn mower and I still only had 19.....
This should be a good laugh.....I can't wait.

Okay, with lawn mower, leaf blower, 964 and Silverado - 16. 
Can I count my girlfriends SUV?? She doesn't live there, although it seems it's in the driveway all the time. <img src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" border="0" alt="[hiha]" />
...if I'm allowed to count hers, that makes 22!
I know...still pathetic.

You must have one hell of a garden - or 2 workers that use the other 2 lawnmowers then...? Or are they remote controlled ones so you can use all 3 at the same time?
Great stuff though - keep'em coming.

hmm, I proud to say that I own absolutely no lawn equipment since I have a lawn service 
Now, don't get me wrong, I love power tools, but I'm banned from using them at home since I can make Tim Taylor from Tool Time look reasonable.
Let's see...
90 C2 6
02 Suburban 8
02 Trailblazer 6
73 914 4
85 Honda Elite 80 Scooter 1 (i think)
That's 25, if you count my original engine that is still sitting at my mechanics shop (6) that's 31

What is even funnier is watching me use some of these things!
Sleeping Beauty (my C4) 6
Chrysler Mini-Van (Debs) 6
Saab 9-5 3.0 turbo 6
GMC Yukon 8
Sears Lawn Tractor 1
Yardman Lawn Mower 1
Weed Whacker 1
Lawn Edger 1
Leaf blower/mulcher (shoulder) 1
Leaf blower (roll along) 1
Power Washer 1
SnowBlower (vital in Michigan) 1
Hedge Trimmer 1
Water Pump 1
Honda Generator 1
When we leave Michigan the list will fall by 10+ -the Yukon; snowblower; water pump etc will fall off.
Lets see more lists......

OK, here we go.
C2 6
Infiniti G35 6
Toyota Highlander 6
Jeep YJ 4
Triumph TR6 6
20' Grew inboard 6
Lawnmore 2
Leaf Blower 1
Trimmer 1
Kids' scooter 1
I'm ashamed to say that's 39. My wife already thinks I'm nuts. I'm glad she hasn't thought of this measurement.
