Hi guys,
Just out of interest, I'm wondering if anyone on this forum drive a black Great Wall ute (I think 4X4)?
I was driving home from work in my ute and here is a guy taking several pictures of my ute while we were driving.
Got me thinking it might end up on here.
Not as good as you guys getting caught on street view though.
If anyone on here drove a Great Wall they're not going to admit it on a public forum are they?

Did you have a sandman being towed on the back of it
My old Eldorado red and white helmet from 1984 would be a better helmet than chinese ones I am sure....

Would you have driven an older Rodeo or Mitsubishi? The Great Wall is the old Rodeo body with old Mitsubishi diesel!
Nope, wouldn't drive one of those either. It might be the Rodeo body/Mitsu diesel DESIGN but it's been manufactured to meet a certain price point. I'll stick with my 20 year old Hiace powered by the nice and plentiful Buick V6. At least that combo has an excuse for the rattles after that amount of time.
Good reply! I'm pretty much with you though. Everything I go to buy, if it says "made in China" it goes back onto the shelf, unless there is no alternative! Been looking at bike helmets over the last few days, picked up a Shoei TZ-X Etheral for $499. Looking at the cheapies makes me wonder how well a $199 Chinese helmet would help you in a crash.
Not only that but with something like a helmet if you buy a cheapie you put up with mediocre comfort, excess wind noise and within a year the padding feels nearly non existent. I've had my current Shoei for nearly 6 years and it still feels as comfortable as the day I got it. Sure , it cost nearly $1000 but I would have spent that on cheap helmets in that time and had to put up with all the drawbacks. I've found that with cheap bike gear you can't wait to get to your destination and get the gear off. Wear the good stuff and you'll just want to keep riding
