Oh Mr. Legate, you just won't give up, will you?

Besides, "Badge Engineering" in the great British tradition requires actually having engineers to at least design the badge! I mean even Wolseley and Humber had to have SOMEONE to design the badges? What we have here is actually badge "licensing"!!!!
