seen a few engine tables before, but never seen anyone use the pistons like that, nor cylinders to hold wine, normally its just engine block with a peice of glass plonked on top

That's exactly how my mate wants his dining room table, I had to design it for him, except he wants to use a 14.4L scania V8 and because of how the engine is built we will be able to pump cold water round the block to chill the wine, also going to etch 2 of the new double griffin heads in the middle of the glass and scallops on each corner.

Do you know what company made that or did the bloke make it himself?

Looks a lot better than that mess of a pipework to the radiator.
80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.

That's the best one I've seen yet, replace the wine with whiskey or other hard liquor and I'd call it perfect  :evil:
Passat B5.5 2.3 V5 170, with all the extras.

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

PMSL - I was thinking exactly the same. Also what a mess the block will make of the cheap laminate flooring...

The rover v8 block is actually lighter than most 4 cylinder engines and that scania v8 dining table is going to be a serious piece of ironmongery in your dining room.
