Cylinder Count, total 'em up!

There was an old Peter Egan article in R&T where he discusses Cylinder Count. ie. the number of cylinders you own/have owned. Since we're rotorheads, we'll break those out seperately.

Alright, here's the criteria: Engines you've owned. Non-car engines count. The car you bought, but kept in your parents' name counts. The car you borrowed from your parents' on friday nights doesn't. If you were given a car, it counts as long as you paid for maintenance and insurance. Break it down into current and lifetime.

Here goes:

Current:

Cylinders: 15 Rotors: 6

Lifetime:

Cylinders: 67 Rotors: 8
