Interesting that you WOULD'NT be the first. I've had some customers order TWO of the same engines.Gary Cox wrote:Jewelry. I would so want to put that in my living room.
One for "SHOW" (living room) and one for "GO" (in their car).

Doesn't it seem a shame to put icky oil in and run it with dirty exhaust going through the pipes.
However jewels aren't much good in a safe!
Very nice Joe.
