Just wondering Bill, where did the name for the company Badger5 come from?
Thought about this the other day, and it intrigued me.

Brockbank is my surname (Brock is Badger in ole ye english apparently)
my dad is William Henry Brockbank IV, I am William Henry Brockbank V, my dads dad was the III etc etc.... to the V for me is 5, the brock is badger, the company name is Badger5
boring but true..
:)
So it's "Badger the Fifth" ... rather than "Badger Five"
Interesting :think:

Not a big Nigel Mansell fan were you?
I always think of the red five (Like in your logo) as a Mansell thing :shrug:

well as it happens.. I did quite like mr mansell.
red five is coincidental tho I think... and along the lines of I can only master basic paint shop pro colours when I did the logo way back when.
red white and blue is not a coincidence as I am patriotic generally.
should have asked for 5 as my race number but thought nah, they wont let me so asked for double 5 instead.
