Sorry I forgot. Probably went up there years ago :)
Unfortunately no pictures yet.

I totally agree with their philosophy.

"For over a century internal combustion engines have been and still
are one of the most successful compact portable autonomous power
sources being used in the transport of people and goods over relatively
long distances relatively quickly. Alternate power sources, such as
electric motors powered by batteries or hydrogen fuel cells, suffer
from energy storage problems, high capital costs, possible environmental
problems and a lack of energy-delivering infrastructure. Substantial
improvements in such technologies are arguably at least a decade away.
So for the foreseeable future internal combustion engines will continue
to be the dominant source of portable autonomous power. As the worldwide
engines market is huge, it was worth $235 billion in 2001, there is a
great incentive to improve the performance and efficiency of the
internal combustion engine or see it eclipsed by alternate power
sources. Also, as crude oil reserves are dwindling, more efficient
use of this resource is required."
