Don’t forget motorcycles too.
Me: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8. The 1, 2, and 3 were motorcycles. The 4 was a motorcycle and cars.
I’d love to drive a V-12!
Drove this for a living back in the day. It was ~17,000 horsepower and 48 cylinders*. It doesn’t look like it, but it moved under its own power.
I’ve flown one of these, four 9-cylinder radials w 3000 total hp.
Personal automobiles range from inline 4 and 6, to V8s. Smallest 1.8L, largest 7.4L. Current ride is inline 6 cyl w 370 hp.
Boats I’ve owned range from 4 cyl 100 hp to twin 454’s with ~500 hp.
Planes I’ve owned were all 4 cylinder, from 150 to 200 hp.
*from memory – not certain
Mostly the usual 1,4 inline, 4 opposed, 6 straight, V6, V8 and V12 (39 Lincoln).
The most unusual was a 1928 Willys Knight. It had sleeve valves - two additional cylinder liners that were geared to provide valve timing. So, it had 6 cylinders and 18 connecting rods.
I have driven something with all types of engines. Some were oddball vehicles. The rotary engined car was a 1969 Toyota Corona, it had the running gear from an RX7. The V-12 was from a totalled Jaguar, a group of us stuffed it into a 64 Olds Cutlass. The V-10 was a Ford Econoline E-350. I took a ride in an airboat that had a 7 cylinder radial engine.
