Chinese ingenuity - Jazz you'll love this!

Just googled, and there's a "Yemaha" company in India - makes guitars.Maybe they make fake Chinese fakes of Japanese Carbs, just like a couple of Japanese motorbike makers make knock-offs of Spanish guitars.

LOL, nice.

And now for the compulsory rant.

Doesn't it bother you that our government comes after us all with an expensive anti piracy bill because some of us might be downloading pirated movies. It also spends a fortune going after kim dotcom with basically no case against him.

Yet it welcomes big Chinese brands with open arms who have been proven to have stolen hundreds of millions of dollars of intellectual property!

I fail to see the logic, other than its political nonsense designed to grease palms and keep the right people happy (i.e China and the U.S).

Cheers for the photo and sorry about the compulsory rant!

Read again, I asked one them is it one of "his" cars! Hence noted by the word "your", sometimes it pays to read before speaking.

not one of mine thankfully. a guy on another forum.it let go while he was driving to work in town.lucky he wasnt fanging it down a back road. there have been 3 failuresjust on that 1 forumso id say the failure rate is high. i wouldnt trust any cheap boss kit. I beleive they were selling for around $15-$20 USD each.

Hell, that is very much a safety worry.

There is a city in Japan called Usa but it has been called that for the last 1200 years, long before the U.S.A. was formed. Maybe the yanks are ripping of the japs.

Yep, back in the late 50's or early 60's, they made a rip off of the "Parker" fountain pen, marked "Made in USA"

Looks a lot like a certain outdated van that has ceased to be offered in much of the world as it can't compete.

This version takes badge engineering to another level though. http://www.carnewschina.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/jinbei-audi-1.jpg
