Launch Mini · 13 April 2006, 06:54 AM

When I first signed up for TRF, I wasn't sure what to expect, so I used an old name "Launch MINI".
That name referred to a car I no longer have.
Should I change my name to simply my Initials (JPB) now, or stick with "Launch Mini"???

I think I clicked a wrong box on the poll set up??? ( Your names will show up under your your vote, sorry bout that)

First, I know other people who are served well by handles that refer to cars they no longer own. So I wouldn't be concerned about that. It's more interesting than initials. Initials are just so un-webforum-like. You need a "handle" that has some meaning.

What does the "launch" part of your name mean? And why did you get rid of the Mini? (asks the guy who's had like 15 cars in the last 10 years ;-))

mailman · 13 April 2006, 08:08 AM

Keep it

That's how you're known round these here parts pardner

Manatee · 13 April 2006, 09:47 AM

Although I'm in favor of keeping it, I thought of a significant benefit of changing it: JJ will never know who you are again. He's legendary for his inability to accept change. (Except when spending that plastic kiwi money. ;-))

:-)

I don't want to get known as the JJ or TRF names either.
No flipping for me

Hi John, I voted to change it to JBP...I think it's more unique...and not necessary related with anything, but you.(MHO)

rolexchick · 13 April 2006, 12:17 PM

I like LM

dman · 13 April 2006, 01:48 PM

I like it as is, it makes me think of both you and the next car that I want.

Uncle-AJ · 13 April 2006, 02:37 PM

To be honest, I can't remember all your names anyway so it would not bother me one way or the other. Go with your heart.

Let me try to answer your question about the "launch" part.

In the Mini's first year, BMW launched the car with a limited run of "Launch Edition" cars. These cars were numbered and based on the Base cooper, but it came with numerous Cooper S body pieces and a number of interior options as standard.

I know this because I was invited by BMW for the launch here in Toronto.

JJ Irani · 13 April 2006, 05:56 PM

Stick with "Launch Mini", John....and Peter (Manatee) you're so right. I hate change!!

padi56 · 13 April 2006, 07:43 PM

Stick with the one you got Launch Mini.

13 April 2006, 10:21 PM

Hey John, if you change your forum name to 'Butthead' I'll change mine to 'Beavis'.

Rockrolex · 13 April 2006, 10:46 PM

I voted to keep LM, John. It's unique to you and it's how we know you. There are other ways to hide from JJ. Not letting him keep his login live is a one way.

Besides, the initials JBP get too close to another set of initials we no longer allow around here. Of course, those were followed by a II, but it's still too close.

Earl · 14 April 2006, 03:39 AM

didn't vote but, keep LM

Mrdi · 14 April 2006, 04:20 AM

L M is good and unique
Keep it.
