eddyramrod Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 At the moment, sadly not. All my three cars are S4 petrol, FWD, transverse. One had a carb, one has a turbo, the other has neither; one is manual. I may need to make some changes! danthecapriman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Sadly I am very boring.... All RWD, All 4 cylinder. All watercooled However, one has rear-mounted boxer (VW T25). And only one has fuel injection (190E) Three four door saloons and a camper van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some variety there but not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My van has the most bog standard layout - transverse straight 4, diesel, FWD and manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panhard65 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I did have a thing years ago trying to get as many different configurations I could get and have had fwd rwd 4x4 and 6x6. Petrol diesel and lpg. I have had flat twins and in line twin water and air cooled. I think I haven't had a 3 cyl yet but 4 cyls in flat straight and v4 air and water cooled. I had a couple of 5 cyls then 6 cylinder both straight and v with and without turbo's. Then straight 8 and v8. Not to mention a rotary. Not been brave enough for a V12 and I have kind of given up now. DVee8, Crusty Sills, Lacquer Peel and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter C Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Lacquer Peel, you've just made me realise that I've also never had a V6. I've had countless straight fours, a flat four (Alfa Romeo Sprint), various straight sixes (BMW, Jag, Mercedes Benz), flat six (Porsche Boxster) and a couple of V8s (Lexus LS400 and Merc 500SL) but never a V6.

Asimo Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Transverse FWD inline 3 and 4 and a flat 4 all wheel drive at the moment. Sadly I have never owned a straight 6, flat 6 or anything with more than 6 cylinders. I have had 1,(bike) 2, 3, 4, 5 cylinders in line, V4, V6, four different sorts of flat 4 and a 2 rotor Wankel. One a diesel, 6 were air cooled, two with turbos, 7 rear engined but only 5 front engine/rear drive. Next?, a V5 appeals ('cause there probably won't ever be another one and they are cheap right now), a transverse straight 6 or a two stroke 3...........

PhilA Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Challenger, V8 logitudinal RWD auto. Silverado, V8 longitudinal RWD auto. Column shift. GTA, Inline-4, transverse FWD manual. The column-shift comment is pertinent because I'll either a- grab the wiper stalk and put the wipers on in the Renault or b- in the Dodge grasp ineffectually behind the right of the steering wheel before remembering the gearshift is on the center console in the normal place. That's the current stable, have mostly owned transverse four-pots with FWD. --Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
