No idea why they all have big V8 engines in

That DALL-E 3 generative engine seems to be obsessed with the V8. I had enough trouble getting a radial into an engine bay a few pages back. Even specifically asking for a four cylinder engine weeks later, I still get this V8 concoction that I really don't want to go hunting where a pipe or hose leak is!

Shouldn't complain though, as using the very same API direct from OpenAI who develop it, its use gets restricted behind a paywall. But now through Microsoft, even an ancient Microsoft account gets free unlimited use. I still have my original Hotmail account from 25+ years ago getting daft images like this out of the thing (except I bet you wish I couldn't) :

WOW that's the super-rare two-cylinder Z1 with front drum brake! Not only that, the rear basket was a Japanese market only option. Well I never.

Spiderman seen out and about, not quite as surprising though as he did live in digs at Bletchley for a short while after his divorce from Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan from M*A*S*H
