Good Letter, you can add my name: Tom "OhMygodI'mnotgoingstopintime / I'magonnadie" Elliott

After 20,000 miles and having now had a few ABS-induced near death experiences, put my name down... martyn day

[andym172]

Feel free to put my name down - I'm extremely unhappy with the current set up. Andrew Mahon

Nice one, you can put my name down too. I had an incident recently on tarmac which was a funny texture...sort of heavily but evenly pitted. I was thinking of writing a letter about the poor customer service that often gets reported and at the apparent lack of training at dedicated VX220 dealerships. The fact that some people find it necessary to travel from London to MK or Southampton to feel confidant of a decent service is just silly.

Put my name down Jim (Tim Bolson) but if Pat Dougherty is dealing with it dont expect to much, ive had dealings with him and he did fcuk all, just got his lackys to do it for him .

As long as he gets someone to deal with it, and deal with it properly, then I'm happy.
I honestly think they'd be crazy to ignore it.

Like your comments. I've only had my NA for 3 weeks and have had far to much 'near death' for my liking! Add my name!! Neil Fox

[DAZ]

me to abs Darren Whitehead.

[speedyK]

should we use VX/ Speedster...

... or have Speedster users not reported problems.

You are joking, aren't you?! Think I have expressed my views fairly clearly and often on the need for 111R ABS.

[jneill]

Keith, what about the German forum? Have they expressed similar concerns? (PS. Please add my name to the letter: James Neill)

[Cobber]

Great letter, although I didn't vote - out of country for some time. Why don't you copy this to Top Gear - they can be iritating to manufacturers

[BradW]

...and you could send it to Watchdog too...wouldn't that spice up the show!... "moving on from the faulty washing machine bearings of Mrs Evans, I have a letter here from a Vauxhall V X 2 2 0 owner..."

[stickle]

Thanks Jim I agree that it is best to wait till after Brunters to see if any information comes to light. However, a well constructed letter like this sent to the right person clearly sets out the problems in writing (which is important with this sort of issue) and shouldn't upset anyone. Certainly don't send it to press as a constructive approach is always better recieved. If nothing gets done then we can use the threat of press as the next level, EVENTUALLY followed by actioning it but only if all else fails. Great work and please feel free to add my name Stuart Tickle

[BradW]

I know you must get this all the time, but I just can't help myself... ...Have you got long arms?... Sorry!

[mags993tt]

Happy to add my name when the time is right. Clearly all is not right with the ABS.

[jneill]

...Have you got long arms?...

Good letter Jim, You can add my name to it i spun off at the kingwells roundabout in Aberdeen at rush hour doing 25 mph luckily no one was hurt but my pride.

[Purebob]

Note to say that as if by magic at this appropriate time the ABS nearly stuffed me into a blind right-turner tonight. If I hadn't steered round into oncoming traffic I'd 've T boned him. ABS took away all feel and progressive stopping and left only a gentle unpanicked arrest, which could've killed me. Down the road, heart still bouncing on a bungee I tried again, same thing at first, yet lift and re-apply the brakes are like anti-grav and work brilliantly.Its seems to be a first hard application thing. Very dangerous and not something I could drive around. In the wet I'd be dead, simple as. Add my name to the list, Jim.

[Dr Delboy]

Please add me to the list. What was the road surface like Purebob?

[Purebob]

Perfect Delboy, good tarmac, bit of gravel perhaps but not slippery at all but on the crest of a hill.
