A few years ago an American friend of ours introduced us to the concept of

Our company is based in Houston, TX.
I visit there regularly, and have friends who have moved over there
permenantly.

This is truly the land of Gas Guzzling pickups.

It's not piston count that they compa it's displacement.
Often, people boast about how they've broken the 10Litre barrier without too
much effort.

2 Pickup Trucks at close to 5 L each, and throw in a lawnmower, and thre you
are!


Hmm,
4 minis, 16 pistons, 4.6l.
2 diesel runabouts, 8 pistons, 2.4l
landy 4 pistons, 2.5l
3 lawnmowers, 3 pistons, not sure of the displacement....

so Im at 31, and around 10+ l + and model engines I have lying
around....
Do get a prize
