Actually, my current British stable is limited to 4 and 6 cylinders, I figured this would up my chances of having enough firing to limp home

My Brother was into Jags and I was into Corvettes - until I bought an MB V-12 SL. Yet another vehicle I got rid of and then missed.
That V-16 Peterbilt is way cool.

I would imagine your brother was in better shape, from walking home Hunter, something that you didn't worry about

Well, I guess if you don't like odd numbers like 16, you can always double down on a dozen if you don't mind sitting in front of a Freightliner 24V71...One of the YouTube commentators mentioned its possible use to pull the continents back together in the event of a seismic shift...Twelve cylinders is good for the light work...Ben
