So, you have two choices:

1) Start your miniature engine hobby

2) Hang out in Amy's Potpourri thread for 8 years

8 years? "The Bloody Hell you say"

5 years from now someone will be prying the muskets from our cold dead hands.

very nice but I will stick to a full size engine attached to a boat in my favorite location.

4 years is more like it and I already have a hobby! It involves a frozen martini glass, 2 oz of chilled “Tino’s” vodka and 2 blue cheese stuffed olives.

Barry O’Carter will be gone in four - count ‘em 4!

That is friggin' awesome! I would dearly love to own one of those, but I'd hate to think what it might cost :(
I'm learning engine repair as I go along. I have a 1954 Oldsmobile 88 that I'm restoring --

I did the paint job last year (first time at that - boy was THAT fun) and I'm now in the process of getting the heads rebuilt. I'll be doing the valves and guides myself, but a machine shop is going to hot tank the heads for me, since there was a tremendous amount of gunk causing blocked passages.

We do loves our cars - oh yes we do!

[DigitalVideoDude]

That's cool. But check this!

I prefer my full size 477 Hemi and 440 sixpack engines....besides, I get to burn lots of fuel and create lage amounts of burned rubber and smoke on Earth Day.....

8 years my hairy ass!

[wastoute]

I have a hobby, reloading

[jersey117]

Can we change that to 4 years?

[zeugma]

Thanks. that’s the coolest thing I’ve seen in years. This guy has some mad skilz to be able to fab something like that from scratch.

[Condor51]

No thanks.
I'll be getting more guitar playing in. (And it'll be FOUR years, not eight)

And those 'gun' thingy's you mentioned? I *think* I lost all of mine, around 2005. Woke up one day and I just couldn't find 'em. And all the dang ammo went *poof* too. (musta been Martians)
