Boxer Engines Poll

The other day I was mulling over vehicles that I have owned in the past when I realised that I have had 3 "boxer" engined vehicles from 3 different manufacturers, Alfa, BMW and now Subaru

LOL I saw one of those for the first time ever just yesterday. Didn't even know such a beast existed and had to go home and look up what the hell it was. There are two for sale in all of Ontario so must be pretty rare up here.

Just the one, will probably have a second and maybe third in the future, either Porsche or Subaru wagon/hatch is most likely.

Where the fun starts is when you see how many types you can own... I2, V2, I3, I4, I5, I6, V6, VR6, V8, I8, V10, V12, W12, F4, F6, 2R, 3R...

The challenge comes with trying to find a chassis that does the engine justice. You've missed F2.. 2R, 3R?

I tried to limit it to engines that are actually affordable, hence no V16. What's got a Flat 2 that I missed? I guess there's plenty of motorcycles with them...

Edit: D'oh, Citroen 2CV, thought that was a V2 for some reason
