> So.... Where's the remorse?

> As I posted earlier, I've been leaning more towards vertical engines
> which the NH obviously is not.
>
> This past weekend I saw a vertical R&V engine I would sure like to have
> and could have bought if I hadn't bought the NH engine. Having limited
> funds for buying engines can be a problem when there are so many engines
> out there to buy ;-)
>
> Several years ago I picked up a 5hp Galloway for a friend.  My friend
> had made the deal and I went to get the engine and pay the seller.  The
> seller delivered the engine to a show that I was at and I was busy doing
> stuff when the seller showed up with the engine.  I had him transfer it
> to my pickup bed and paid him for the engine.
>
> After the seller left I had time to look at the engine and found that it
> was basically a piece of crap.  There were broken, cracked, repaired,
> missing, etc. parts all over the engine.  There was hardly a piece of
> the engine that didn't have some problem or repair made to it.
>
> I've always regretted getting that engine and wish that I'd told the
> seller to just keep it as it was in much worse condition than the photos
> had shown.
