Thanks to everyone who has posted. I am really grateful for your comments and thoughts. I thought there may have been one or two responses. It is hard to not buy Chinese made items, so many things are. They are improving quality, just as the Japanese did when they started their great post war industrialisation. I suppose I am being very altruistic, as I try wherever possible to not buy things made in China for a variety of ethical and industrial reasons. It annoys me that manufacturers off shore work on the premise product will be cheaper, but that the savings for us at the cash register are minimal, and the social costs so great. I see in one of our local papers that the Chinese government is imposing levies on certain products that are exported, in particular textiles. This will hurt my country, as the textiles industry was shipped out years ago. Anyway - this ain't the place to rave Undoubtedly, I will probably burn the first bit of LGB that I aquire that is made in China! The street car (base model) is retailing for US600 here in Oz.
