Seems to be more of them Stateside than over here, or maybe the Yanks just don't appreciate them as much as us.
I wonder what it'd cost to ship an engine over the pond?

Yeah right. My Mum's been in New York & Florida for the last month.
Have you felt how heavy those things are? Takes 2 people to lift an XS engine. Gawd knows what they put in 'em to make them so heavy!
