Two Wankel engines
The “okay so how am I meant to deal with this?” situation. Named after the rotary Mazda RX-3 in Top Trumps that doesn't seem to be comparable in any meaningful way with the other engine categories.
- Dealer: (Triumphantly slapping down a Rover 3500 Van den Plas) Cylinders: V-EIGHT! BEAT THAT, SUCKER!!!
- Second player: (Patiently lays the Mazda with a cryptic smile) AHA!! TWO WANKEL ENGINES!
- Everyone: Err...
So now what are you supposed to do? (NB: Dilemma comes from a time pre the Internet)
also a super near-double entendre. The design was conceived by German engineer Felix Wankel who, being German, almost certainly, sadly, pronounced his name Vankel, but it has not stopped generations of British schoolboys tittereing well into their fifties, if I’m honest.
