These are Chinese-make and not very well-built, but not a bad deal for 100 bucks.
I bought one a few weeks ago and found it to be good enough for the price. And since
my son loved it and "Ferrari" also became a part of his vocabulary, I went yesterday
and bought the remaining 5 cars to make a complete set.
I can see the joy on my son's face when I will be giving him these cars tomorrow.
Hopefully it will make up for my missing last weekend with him. He was expecting that
I would be there on Saturday as usual and was a bit miffed when I could not make it.
Makes a nice buy if you have a kid like mine that's crazy about cars.
P.S.-1 : For first-timers to Shell outlets, the service experience can be a pleasant surprise
like I myself experienced. The staff greet you with a "Vanakkam", which is a Tamil greeting
and are extremely courteous and helpful.
P.S.-2 : If my friends who swear by the petrol/diesel from Shell outlets are to be believed,
it is worth paying a buck or two more per petrol/diesel here, since your car not only returns more mileage due to the fuel being pure and the quantity delivered being accurate, it keeps
the engine clean and healthy too.
