Don't know how many of you read Classic and Sports Car or Thoroughbred and Classic Cars magazine, but they occasionally have a feature called "Legendary Engines" in which they do a 2-3 page spread about some powerplant that in some way changed the automotive world, whether it be in racing, design, or even plain old simplicity. I think we need to lobby to get them to include the Mercedes OM617 turbodiesel engine in that feature. Sure, it might not be as pleasing to the eye as a Jaguar XK engine or as a Ferrari V12, but hey, they did a feature on the BMC B-series engine (of MGB and Morris fame) which isn't exactly a "beauty" either. How many votes to I have to send off a letter indicating our praise of this fine lump of German iron?
