JV and JV

Well, when we had Michael Schumacher and Mika Salo in F1 at the same time, we had trouble with the initials, so i think it was Liz, who gave the name of TGF to Schumi, to solve everything.

But now, we have Jacques Villeneuve and Jos Verstappen........what do we do!!

Granted, this has happened before, and i wasnt around here when this occured, so what do we call either?

Evilsenna · 7 Mar 2003, 05:59 (Ref:527402)

What were we doing in 2001?

Alan Jones · 7 Mar 2003, 06:01 (Ref:527405)

How about JTB for Verstappen aka Joss The Boss.

twig · 7 Mar 2003, 06:33 (Ref:527418)

hhhmmmm............maybe J in both of them makes it too similar, but also, its quite similar to Jarno Trulli, and Jenson Button.............but anyway

CLK-GTR · 7 Mar 2003, 07:07 (Ref:527439)

I'm curious, what does TGF actually stand for?
:confused:

Don K · 7 Mar 2003, 07:32 (Ref:527450)

IIRC, we used to have 'Jos' for Verstappen (probably because it's the shortest solution).

TGF stands for 'That German fellow'.

golem · 7 Mar 2003, 07:59 (Ref:527461)

TB - The Boss?

Vs - Ver stappen?

BV - Boss Verstappen << My pick

**Adam43** · 7 Mar 2003, 08:24 (Ref:527475)

What about "Jos", "Verstappen" or "Jos Verstappen" for Jos Verstappen and "Jacques", "Villeneuve" or "Jacques Villeneuve" for Jacques Villeneuve.

I doubt there will be many conversations that involves them both? Even with the new fuel rules I doubt they'll be a JV overtakes JV sitaution

Another suggest:

TOTSNPHPOATT
The one that Steve Nielsen posts huge pictures of all the time! I think you'll agree it is catchy

The Annoying One That Just Won't Quit

Kex · 7 Mar 2003, 11:30 (Ref:527626)

JVL - Villeneuve?
JVS - Verstappen?

ASCII Man · 7 Mar 2003, 11:32 (Ref:527627)

But alternatives are also available.

Thanks Adam.

Keeping in line with some of the radical suggestions, why not use:

DTVVAT for Jacque$ (nb the VV is actually a W but the word is censored if I use a W)

Vw gti 16v · 7 Mar 2003, 14:21 (Ref:527783)

and jaques- vilenueve

LOL

Pitstop · 8 Mar 2003, 10:05 (Ref:528683)

What's wrong with Jos and Jaques?

On second thoughts - don't answer that!

**FIRE** · 8 Mar 2003, 17:51 (Ref:529045)

I like this one: Comeback Kid

Hugh Jarce · 8 Mar 2003, 18:17 (Ref:529056)

A slight aside but, how about calling Da Matta - Watts ...

Alan Jones · 8 Mar 2003, 19:07 (Ref:529085)

Nice one Hugh!

RubberD · 8 Mar 2003, 20:33 (Ref:529158)

After Jos crashed into Juan 2 years ago I think every Juan fan would like to call him SOB.

steve nielsen · 8 Mar 2003, 20:50 (Ref:529165)

Jos was around long before Jaques came into F1(3 years)

they have been driving in the same championship in 97,98,2000 and 2001, so why do you ask this question now??

avsfan733 · 8 Mar 2003, 23:41 (Ref:529329)

1) he's in a Minardi how much will we talk about him.
2) Jacques = J$
Jos = JA (A for arrows)

Spritle · 9 Mar 2003, 00:19 (Ref:529366)

How about TBF for Villeneuve?
