re. true motorsports enthusiast if no. of cyl >= age

[Mark Reis]

Four Audi sixes (two '92 100's,  allroad and wife's cab), three V-twins (I
hesitate to list mfg. lest I get myself flamed here).

Even though I'm close to topping age with cylinders, I harbor no illusions
about being an enthusiast.  I know about 1/10th as much as the average
lister here about our cars.
