"Luckyland Happy Gallop"
Hope it at least performs decent? The name would bring a smile everytime !
Though I didn't see it, Im guessing somewhere on it would be a "made in China" legend.
Nowhere else on earth would you find "luck" associated with a safety critical item, to western eyes, it is somewhere between horror and hilarity!
But the Chinese, as a nation, are in love with the notion of luck, I read recently of a Chinese businessman paying literally MILLIONS of HK dollars for the local reg number 888, 8 being a very lucky number in Chinese ideology.
One is inclined to think that perhaps they NEED luck when the goods they sell (and buy) are so poorly made, but in reality, this is only the same market forces at work as elsewhere in the world. I'm perfectly sure Chinese engineers CAN make quality products, it's just that, apparently, very few people want to PAY for quality any more! They'd rather buy cheap tat and then whinge when it breaks!
