dustandbarley Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Sorry for the lack of imagination, but I had a quick look at the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-valve"]Wikipedia page fro multi valve engines[/url] and note one of the first cars to have 4 valves per cylinder was called [i]"la Torpille"[/i][color=#252525][font=sans-serif] (torpedo) and I liked the Spinal Tap (Big Bottom) lyric reference.[/font][/color] [font="sans-serif"][color="#252525"]Also among early 4 valve single bikes where the Triumph [i]Ricardo[/i] (a bit lame)[/color][/font][color=#252525][font=sans-serif] [/font][/color][url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudge-Whitworth#Rudge_Four"]a[/url]nd the [i]Rudge Four[/i] (Meaty) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skankdelvar Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Thinking about cars and aircraft of a certain period, the primary sources of names were (i) edged weapons (ii) dangerous animals (iii) inclement, windy weather and (iv) place names including but not limited to British cities and Italian holiday resorts. In this spirit I would offer: * The MJW Halberdier * The MJW Cougarino * The MJW Rashabar (The '[i]Black Wind' of Iraq[/i]) * The MJW Norwich Mk1 Tourer * The MJW Ancona Gran Veloce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
