1) Would be Rover P6 V8 or my old BMW 3.0si or Fiat 2.0 20V 5 cylinder in a Fiat Marea which I had.

2) This is a really tricky one.
Vebra Chevrolet which was based on a McLaren M10 or, 6R4 or, the boss of the racing team I help out at has an Italian V10 engined supercar which is nice.

There's lots of nice engines.

Wish I'd kept them all

After the 2 strokes I rode around on a Z1000 with 4-1 that was a 6" by 2" diameter pipe after the collector with no silencer or baffle, boy did that make a noise. It was worse slamming the throttle shut BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make it moral.
