    Im really envious of people who can do that kind stuff, maybe I should have applied myself a little more in my youth. ;)

    A colleague from the MEB used to buy mini engines and just the plans and casts then spend hours upon hours building them
    I didn't understand the fascination until I matured and realised how much work goes into it!

    Fair flippin play

    Very nice.. 12cc..lol Its very cool but I have seen propper mini engines with home made spark plugs, coils, dizzy and carbs that run like any other engine, his is awsome but runs on compressed air... Still awsome but real petrol has to be a must...lol
