The problem with all these 122S (brake) upgrades is where do you stop with upgrading ? Personally I would be happy to have ABS on my Amazon too !!
I had only one accident in my long motoring life and that was in 1967 in Ford Cortina GT in Europe. I went, as usual, fast through a certain corner and when at the the centre of the corner I saw a car coming from the other direction. I could have continued at that speed without any problems (as ussual) and continued on my side of the road, however I pannicked, braked, locked the front brakes and the car drifted to the other side of the road and hit the car head on. Luckily no one was hurt but one car written off and my car could be fixed. That was a good lesson and that had started my interest in the Safe Volvo cars. Ofcourse it was entirely my fault, I was driving to fast through that corner but ABS, if available at that time could have saved me under that condition.
Recently I watched the classic Targa New Zealand a corner with gravel on the road, a mixture of classic- and modern cars were participating. At least 5 cars lost it completely in that corner because they locked the front brakes and slid off the road in the paddock - geat fun for the public - however the modern cars with ABS managed to steer easily through the corner while braking hard. This and my own accident in 1967 showed me the great value of ABS.
Now, how about installing ABS in a 122S ?
