Thanks tommo138
It sure has been a very long and hard struggle, i am far from wealthy by anyones standards, and some days i really do wonder if it has been worth it. Especially when dealing with some arrogant muppet that thinks he has some right to buy good low cost diagnostic equipment, and that having paid us a few hundred quid for some, that somehow gives him the right to be rude and abusive to us.
But then i read some comment from someone who is totally appreciative of what we provide and how it has helped them, and i know full well that without our efforts, things would definately have been very different.
I firmly and honestly believe that almost all of what else has been developed for Land Rovers was done directly off the back, or as a result of what we did.
For example, as far as i know there is still nothing at all availaible outside the manufacturers own equipment for many brands, such as Jaguar, Ford, Saab and many more.
I know some peeple do not like me or the apparent monopoly we have in the market, and everyone wishes our products were cheaper and more affordable than they are, which is only natural, but how bad would it be if BBS dissapeared altogether and folks no longer had a BBS option at all
. I suspect even those with lesser capable equipment who currently try to compete would raise their prices.
All i can say is i look forward to your getting one of our bits of Kit, hopefully the full MSV-2 EXTREME and enjoying it every bit as much as those you have read about do chap, and in the meantime, many thanks for posting up your supportive comments
P38_Ireland.
You are most welcome. Although i do reserve the right to have an occasional jibe or snigger as Fanatic puts it
In fact, that you, who have so long been so obviously very Anti BBS have been converted by getting and trying our equipment yourself, especially to the degree you seem to have been, could not be a better advert for how "Smokin" as you put it, our equipment really and truly is.
Tell me again how good you now think it is LOL
I am most sure that, after reading your comments and the results of the Group buy, that it is dawning on a lot of LZ'rs that there was possibly never a better investment opportunity ever passed their way.
And i fully agree that this gear is so good, that every P38 owner should have one. I sure as hell never leave home without mine, ever ever ever, and it has saved my ass umpteen times already.
Now it seems you also now have a unique insight into how our Single Vehicle "locked to VIN" concept is not quite the negative and unsurmountable obsticle that many seem to think.
The reality is that our equipment is easily the best and most capable that there is. I think everyone now knows that, so i aint saying it as some promo BS, but typically as everyone knows, the best costs the most, and that would also be the same in our case, however our unique SV concept is really a very innovative way for us to provide that top of the line capability at a cost that any private owner or enthusiast can afford. And thats really our aim.
I appreciate, those thinking, just lower the price anyway and you will sell more to compensate. To those, i point to the Posts on here made by those who state their appreciation of us and our Sync mates (which are MV) being such brilliant bits of kit and then in the next breath offereing to lend or rent them out to anyone who needs one, and while innocently done and commendably communinaly spirited, that is, none the less, really taking bread straight out of our mouths or biting the hand that feeds, (take your pick)
I really do wish that i could lock our system to an individual, but short of electronic implants, i can't, so the best i can do is temporarily lock it to the indivuals cars by VIN and provide an easy and cheap route to move it from car to car.
I am therefore glad that you have discovered and can openly report how easily and cheaply that is actually done in practice.
Do you for example now think swapping cars again would mean you loose your BBS investment?
On the same note, i can tell you that not everyones experience of the relatively new P38 FCR has been totally without problem. We have, as a result of supplying quite a few in the field, discovered a small Bug affecting a really small amount of owners with unique aspects to their VIN.
However as with your being supplied an opportunity to uniquely get to appreciate first hand, just how well and easy it is to change your Locked to VIN, so any affected owner of our equipment and being a vicitim of this odd bug, also got to appreciate just how outstanding our technical support and problem solving capabilities are.
