John was an electrical engineer and could modify very large monitors (which he bought cheaply) to work with IBM and Apple computers. I am still finding all the frequency counters, and older oscilliscopes around the place.
Hence the name "monitor" "man". I'm not entirley sure where the 12 came from, I think it was the default after trying to register 11 times I'd guess.

ah, i didn't know how his name came about
to add to janes post..
he introduced me to automotive twin charger technology [i was still stuck in the single turbo era.. where i thought they still must cut in at a certain rpm range
speaking of that, what will happen to the old man's mini, adam? [he was talking about upgrading, one stage]
Oh in answer to Joz Re the R50 JCW mini. I bought that for the same price as the trade in that BMW were going to give him ๐
immediately afterwards, the centre exhaust mount fractured. Easy MIG fix though
