I put one of these in the barn today.

As it's British the owner was very surprised when it started, as it'd been left for some time in his old garage. 

He was less surprised when the clutch had seized and it wouldn't drive so we had to push it on the trailer.  :grin:

Clutter.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
