GothamMike Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Yes, there is a Churchill tank: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Churchill_tank if Leaperkim is looking for a new model name, Churchill would be an exceptional choice. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GothamMike Posted May 20 Author Share Posted May 20 I rode in the CT INVASION. Not a fan of riding in traffic in NYC. i like the Veteran protocol of naming after battle Tanks (Sherman,Abrams) and Armoured Personnel Carriers (Lynx). Sir Winston Churchill is the most admired Briton in history, a famous quote is: “This is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” there are so many tanks with terrible reputations, and many countries just use model numbers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruben De Waele Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 would unironically be a nice name for a long distance cruiser, for a all round wheel I'd suggest the leopard or for another fast one maybe puma would be applicable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they don’t use Panther “Panzer” also a German Nazi tank. A big no-no. Might be fun to name their long distance cruising wheels after American and British tanks and the racing wheels after cat-named tanks. Maybe the Churchill will be a mountain EUC?

Barefooter Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 How long until a rival maker starts up with wheels named after Tank Destroyers.. US:: Hellcat, Wolverine USSR:: Names aren't flashy but the SU-101 is a fine looking machine in side profile. Looks like something Duck Dodgers would drive. UK:: Badger, Achiles, Charioteer, FV4005 France:: Foch Italy:: Minotauro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
