About 關於

By admin, October 21, 2009 1:44 pm

This blog is about sharing finer things in life, topics surrounding my 1/18 Collecting Path (收藏之路), Die-Cast Collection (汽車模型), and other stuffs that I am interested in such as Delicious Food (美食), Photography (攝影), Movie (電影), Music (音樂), Tennis (網球), Travel (旅遊) and Network & Server (網絡及伺服器).

I am also available as a freelance virtualization consultant in Hong Kong with years of extensive hands on experience since 2005, from initial Case Analysis, Architecture Design to the actual Site Implementation and Post Maintenance.

If your company is looking for a guru in building your next virtual project (VMWare/Equallogic/Dell centric) or simply an additional helping hand, please do not hesitate to contact me. :)

Furthermore, I always have this dream to open an artistic model car gallery cafe with my 800+ 1/18 diecast displayed in Hong Kong. The whole purpose is to gather people with similar passion in classic car and motorsports, to promote culture in Formula 1 & Le Mans and to share knowledge about that particular golden age (1950-90s). I do believe there are 同道中人 & 有識之士 out there somewhere who shared the same passion with me. This museum/gallery cafe will definitely add color to this vibrant city!

If you share the same idea and looking to finance a passionate collector to fulfill his and your dream, please do let me know! Thanks!!!

Update: Mid-2018

2008年從一個對收藏模型車的痴愛開始,經過了近10年,終于寫完了2千8百篇文章,多達幾百萬字的Blog。經過了長年累月對汽車和賽車文化的學習和研究,我現在的收藏也從最初的一台Maisto林寶堅尼到今天可以開博物館的近千台。

這個壯舉肯定可以讓我出一本關於模型車的專業書籍,如果世上真的有這個大學科目可以修讀的話,我應該夠資格拿到個PhD博士學位了!

當然以上都是講笑的,哈哈。

不過有一樣倒是真的,就是幾乎我收藏的每一台車背後都有一個故事,而且這幾年在全球進行採購的途中,認識了很多志同道合的朋友,跟他們交流帶給了我很多的快樂,是濃濃的人情味使我更加愛上了這個”不良嗜好”。

回想起來,汽車文化可能在我很小的時候就已經在心中紮下了深根,所以我喜歡模型車的程度對於很多人來講簡直就是匪夷所思,可能已經被歸納為極度小眾和宅男行列,But I don’t really care, simply because it’s what makes me happy!

希望之後還有很多年可以繼續收藏,結交更多世界各地的車模朋友,和他們談天說地,不亦樂乎。

I just realize today marks the history of my blog with 2,000 posts. Back then, I always have this dream to share my passion in model cars especially about motor racing sports, that’s why I started http://modelcar.hk in early 2008! Another Mission Impossible Completed! Yeah!

    你好,

    我是蘋果日報副刊記者Karan。我們最近做一個關於Alfa Romeo模型車及Headphone套裝的報道,由於這兩款產品都是依照Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione和Giulietta的外形而製,所以想請你做專訪,品評一下兩款產品的外形像真度及造工精細度,並了解你對模型車的喜好。因此想知道你會否有興趣受訪,若時間訂於下星期四(6/3)或下星期五(7/3),你會那天、那個時段較方便?我們會同時做文字及Video的訪問,約需時兩小時。謝謝。

      多謝你的邀請,但是對不起,因為我對Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione和Giulietta兩款的歷史和故事都不太了解,抱歉這個Topic不能為貴刊提供意見。

    Hello! This is Samson also from HK. I’ve posted on your site previously. It’s nice to see a someone from HK setting up a site dedicating his interests to the diecast collection hobby! I’d just like to find out if you have a GMP 330 P4 prototype Red Berlinetta in your collection?

    • admin says:

      Thanks, Samson.

      For racing car, I collect those with numbers only, I’ve got #21, #24 and #23.

      Btw, do you still want that XJ13, I will post them shortly.

      • Samson says:

        I see, I’ve been trying very hard to hunt for a red prototype Berlinetta, but it’s simply nowhere to be found.. so I was curious if you would have one that you might consider to offer.. As for the XJ13, in fact I just got one recently from a collector from the States already, so I’ll probably be interested to find out what other cars from your collection you’ll be putting up for sale soon! BTW, would you know where I can find the P4 prototype that I’m looking for? Any good sources or tips? And, how may I address you? I haven’t known your name yet..:-)

    你好!我是Jacky Tai,現職Men’s Machine雜誌的汽車編輯,加入香港車評人已超過20年,從昔日少林寺「車主」副編輯,到汽車雜誌總編輯及Anycar的創辦人兼總編輯。今天偶然登入發現你也是汽車及汽車模型發燒友,更重要的是看到一輯你少年中學時期跟一部保時捷928S合攝的相片,根據所穿校服特徵,那紅藍校呔非紅藍培正生莫屬。我家三位(我、太太及女兒)都是培正出品。難得可以遇上一位志趣相投的同校師兄/弟,如不嫌棄,望能交過朋友,互相交流。

      Thanks for dropping by, I read a few article by your club as well…and the recent visit from RWB founder himself :)

    Hi,

    This is Cammy from apm promotion, In the coming June, we would like to do a 賽車模型車展覽 and would like to invite you and have your participation, knowing that you are enthusiastic with die-cast collection and could you please feel free to contact me at 27056827 when free? thanks and I am looking forward to your reply.

    • admin says:

      Many thanks for the invitation, but I will be on vacation most of the time during June.

      • Cammy Lam says:

        opps, as the exhibition is to celebrate father’s day and we plan to hold it during 4-19 June, are you not in hk during the period?

  14. Hi,

    I would love to get in touch with you regarding being a sponsor of your website. Please email us and let’s talk.

    Best Regards

    Love your idea of the coffee place, one of the members of our Advisory Board has a restaurant in Florida that shows his collection (here more http://blog.hobbydb.com/2016/10/05/sergio-goldvarg-and-possibly-batman-are-on-the-hobbydb-advisory-board). We would love to show you our attempt to catalog every model car ever made, please check it out and maybe you can help us spread the word.

    Christian

    • admin says:

      Hi Christian, we talked and you illustrated how HobbyDB works yesterday on FB, remember? LOL

      Btw, thanks for recommending Waffleworks restaurant in Hollywood, CA, wish one day my dream will realize in Hong Kong and/or Vancouver.

  17. Rachel Chan says:

    Would you have Porsche 911R 1:18 model?

  18. TC says:

    Your blog is great as well as your car photos!
    I think you should also get one cmc 250 gto #19 signature version which is very meaningful to have the winner driver sign on the model. I got mine and it is lovely.

    • admin says:

      Thanks for the suggestion, but I guess one CMC #19 is enough for me. Btw I love all kinds of driver signed version, but prefer if it’s signed at the bottom.

      • Tc says:

        See, i like “on-car” autograph more as it will stick on the car that hard to replace by another car (sure it still can by replacing the signed hood)

    Wow….what an amazing collection you have but more importantly, what a site you have!

    Yours is giving me such inspiration. May be I can also organize and create a similar page to how and share more about my collecting journey as well as the information behind various models i have.

    While going through your For Sale and Wanted models I noticed a few for which i am interested in.

    How to leave a comment or contact you for those specific ones? :)
