Re: Why Are Some Men Obsessed With Cars And Engines?

In the good old days I used to be able to tune cars I had a Vittess with Twin Carbs but now a days you have to plug the ICU into your Computer assuming you have the manufactures software

So lifting the bonnet does not let you see much my engines are V6 2.5 litre petrol auto in the Landy and 2litre flat 4 on my GT86 with flapy paddles

but what really gets me going Art are drum kits

Re: Why Are Some Men Obsessed With Cars And Engines?

Don't recall any men looking and drooling at car engines but I guess I've never known anyone with a brand new car.

Oh yes I have ... BIL always buys a new Landrover Discovery but he's more concerned with the interior and comfort.
As long as it goes and is comfortable, he's happy.


Late father played the drums and also used to tinker with the cars he bought.

Re: Why Are Some Men Obsessed With Cars And Engines?

I don't know enough about engineering to understand the engine.

All I know is key, petrol, drive.

I must admit to being an adrenaline junkie....and I lurrrrve speed.

A good car engine is like a good woman, you have to rev either up to get the best performance

Re: Why Are Some Men Obsessed With Cars And Engines?

it's just superfluous bullshite just like other stuff, you lift the bonnet on your new car, and are greeted with a squeaky clean, logo emblazoned, engineering masterpiece, which turns out to be a plastic cover, concealing all the old oily bits, that used be there on open display, in the old days, such revelations are apparent in many areas of modern perception.
