Table made from a Honda 550 engine

I discovered this on fleabay classifieds here in Germany. Probably inspired by the Top Gear table. Nevertheless polarizing!

That is so much neater than having dead engines on a bench.

I think it's pretty cool but my wife was looking over my shoulder when I was looking at it and she told me "don't even think of putting something like that in the front room" bummer.  :(

My friend has a bare V8 engine, with 4 connecting rods and positions bolted in the corners and the pistons hold up the glass.

I will be at their house this weekend and take a pic
