1 – A Documentary About 60/70S Grand Prix Car Racing

By admin, February 3, 2014 12:23 am

You simply can’t miss this documentary if you like the F1s back in the 60-70s. It’s just a fantastic one, I enjoyed watching it very much.

Almost every big star is in the documentary and not to mention the history, I have never seen those pictures/movies before, now I understand a lot more than before and appreciate my Exoto F1 models more as well.

“Aerodynamics is for people who cannot build engines”

Said Enzo Ferrari. I think he was pointing to Colin Chapman (for his design of the raised wings on Lotus).

There is also a large portion dedicated to Lauda/Hunt 1976/77 race, as a diehard fans of 312T2 and Lauda, I am thrilled to watch those passionate moments again.

These two are definitely something related to the above.

F1賽車迷的阿里巴巴寶藏

今天找到了一個專門販賣F1紀念物品的發燒友網站,尤其以車神Ayrton Senna的物品最為繁多,收藏物品幾乎包羅萬有,想不到世上還有如此對F1痴迷的收藏家。

感覺跟之前見過位於加拿大多倫多的那個Collector Studio差不多,這個更加個人化一些,一看就知道是個”F1狂迷”自己開的網店。

67 Chevy Impala from Movie Supernatural by Green Light

By admin, January 31, 2014 1:30 pm

好友是這個美劇的戲痴,他終於等來了1比18模型的到來。

sn

Make: Chevrolet
Model: Impala
Built Date: April 24th
Year: 1967
Engine: V8 327 4 Barrel
Horsepower: 275bhp
Transmission: 3-spd Auto
Body: Sedan
License Plate: (C-45P4 1973, BQN 9R3 1997, KAZ 2Y5 2005, RMD 5H2 2006, CNK 80Q3 2007-Present)
Seat: 5 mainly 6
Wheels: Cargar 330 Super Sports
Tires: BFGoodrich Radials
Owner: Dean Winchester

Dean’s trademark black 1967 Chevrolet Impala was passed down to him by his father. It bears a Sedgwick County, Kansas license (though their hometown of Lawrence, Kansas is actually in Douglas County) plate KAZ 2Y5, a reference to Kansas, the Winchesters’ home state, and 2005, the year the show premiered. Starting in the episode 2.20 “What Is and What Should Never Be”, the car sports a new Ohio license plate (CNK 80Q3) to aid in the brothers’ hiding from the FBI.

In an interview at a convention, Ackles said the main Impala they use has a 427 and skid plates.

The car has been prominently featured on the series, beginning with the teaser of the pilot which shows John Winchester holding his two sons as he sits on the car and watches his house burn. The car is Dean’s most prized possession, and he protects it with nearly the same ferocity with which he protects his family.

In the pilot episode, the trunk is revealed to hold various weaponry to fight the supernatural. On a closer look, the trunk contains at least three machetes, what appear to be Marine Corps Ka-bar knives, an arrow, a spearhead, two silver spikes, several throwing stars with engravings on them, a revolver-type grenade launcher (loaded with police 37mm grenades), two flare guns, two tazers, two double-barrel sawed-off shotguns (another shotgun with long barrels was taken in Hook Man), a pistol grip pump-action shotgun (which is used to prop the trunk open), and a Heckler & Koch G3A3ZF sniper rifle. There are also several pistols including: a silver Desert Eagle, silver Colt 1911 with engravings, a silver Beretta 92FS (and the matte black Beretta 92FS as well), a matte black Colt M1911, and a Smith and Wesson M645.

The car is moderately damaged at the end of the pilot episode and nearly totaled in a crash at the end of the season one finale. Dean manages to rebuild the car; the newly restored vehicle is prominently featured in Bloodlust in an extended sequence to the soundtrack of AC/DC’s “Back in Black.” Dean’s car continues to play an important role in the series throughout the second, third and fourth seasons.

At the end of season five, Chuck — while recounting the escapades of the Winchester boys — calls the Impala “the most important object in the universe.” A montage shows how important the car has been to the family and the boys throughout everything that has happened to them. On the final battlefield in Swan Song, a light glinting off the window of the Impala revives Sam and makes him snap out of his possession by Lucifer long enough to stop beating up Dean and to throw Lucifer, along with Michael, into the pit.

車模收藏的方向與將來 (轉文)

By admin, January 30, 2014 2:38 pm

昨天看到MC論壇一篇很有意義的文章。

我現在只能嘆息講一句,收藏車模這坑實在太深了,我早就泥足深陷了…
用了過去5年時間去真正了解每台車背后的故事是我最大的收獲。
當然如果能夠有地方擺這600多台出來最好,但以香港現在的樓价,看來這愿望不可能了。

作者: hale 于 2014-1-28 19:40

放假了,又到了吃吃喝喝玩玩的日子,自審下今年略瘋狂,收了好多,也第一次嘗試了出車再入車的喜新厭舊的玩車方式,會被笑噴落魄成雜收党啦或者什么,我不介意,因為有問題,看了cooparch兄弟下一步該怎么走的帖子和鵬哥獨到的見解后拿出勇气靜下心來分享下感触。

一,AA還需要玩嗎
AA是我退出MaiSto第一個接触的品牌,車型多,型准,漆面好,价格合理成為選擇他的理由,這樣的節奏玩了快3年。不管它是模友們認為的中端品牌還是清高認為高端的AA想必大家心里都有一杆秤。該買的還是要買,AA給我們多一個選擇,亦可以說壟斷車型,競爭對手太弱成了玩家們無奈卻仍愿意買單的原因,也成了現在AA的殺手_。我認為AA如ZR,787B,R390,GTR,CCX,Veyron,MF1价格与做工成正比,無可厚的精品車确實值得一收,為此漲价是可以的,只要東西符合它的水准,大家都能叫好。回顧今天的新品,恨不得批斗下,D-type長鼻子缺備胎,700成黑盒做錯還出修正版,MP4价格坑爹也有地方做錯,這些算精品嗎,或者半成品哈哈,而且价格都不好,言語過激了,各位見諒。

再看今年的特价GT500,CL63,瘋狂的刷屏,瘋狂的成交量。AA營銷成功。買便宜雖然實惠惊喜多,但它始終還是沒達到好東西的惊喜度,就像威力的帕加尼雖然很不錯,被我白菜甩了。GT500現在又炒上去了,呵呵。

自我結論,迷茫中需要的是冷靜的辨析力与判斷力。

可以肯定AA我仍會買,但未來絕不會成為收車的主旋律。

二,EXOTO,CMC是否是另一條出路
由于對于AA的不滿足讓我開始關注EXOTO,收了代表作C9和GT40后覺得玩精細就該玩它們,用現在AA新品的价位衡量真不算貴,CMC 1800K的价格,大多虛高,哪怕是4000K的捷豹D,貴的也有道理,好模型就是要有歷史有上乘的做工當然還有适合的价位才值得收藏,而不是几個塑料件和浮夸的外表。CMC還沒有買,今年會入几台,雖說都是老爺車,車型沒几個,畢竟個個都是低調奢華有內涵的經典,不是次世代小弟們能比的,試問句真車老爺車&超跑你們更愿意收藏哪個

自我結論:收

三,意大利超跑(?)手版藝術品
手版好還是合金好這個問題壇子里激烈探討過,合金把玩,面向小眾玩家,手版藝術品,放在水晶盒子里展覽,面向土豪最為貼切。今年收了台MR的LA法,心血來潮的准備將來凡是頂級意大利超跑將來絕不收合金,除了ZR那些車。不是貶低合金,因為車模是公認的藝術品,合金(特指超跑)雖然做出全開,發動机,細節一連串能動的東西無非是彌補外觀上存在的缺陷。漆面是合金車終身的課題。手版雖然沒細節,但它足以把超跑光鮮亮麗的外表神韻完美的展現出來了,我認為這就夠了。況且現在的超跑細節就是一塊塑料罩子,如AA MP4 HW F12等,標配的四門開,剪刀門鷗翼們還行,又有誰會想看這樣的超跑細節呢。一般車買回后拿來玩玩拍拍照就放柜子了,以后很少拿出,境遇和手版几乎相同,既然放柜子展覽,就選藝術品吧,當然有米是硬道理。

自我結論:要么不收,要收就收土豪貨

新年希望談一段戀愛就能理解玩車如同找愛人,要找就一定是自己喜歡的,否則就是耍流氓的真諦。

我還真是認認真真的讀完了,我和hale兄弟你一樣的感受,之后收車把玩會更加理性些!

我一開始是從04年購買瑪莎圖黑色蘭博基尼蓋拉多開始車模之路的,在此之前全是回力車火柴盒等,是瑪莎圖讓我接触了車模,接触了18比例的車模,讓我見識到車模的獨特藝術魅力!以前的很多車模都做的很棒,做工很仔細,价格也不貴。現在想想那也是曾經~還是求學時代的我曾經為了車模每周一至周五下午打籃球不吃晚飯,早餐只喝稀飯,把省下的伙食費去買車模!然后想方設法避開家長偷偷帶回家。那時身邊的同學很不理解我,說我傻!我當時還樂呵呵的(*^__^*) 嘻嘻……每當我用我省下的每一筆伙食費拿這錢去買心儀的車模就像在花辛苦掙下的血汗錢一樣,再,即使這車模价格不高我同樣也感覺它彌足珍貴!

手里現在還有些低端的車模,但它們都是陪伴我長大“玩伴”,現在大多也絕版了,即使我再缺錢我也舍不得出售,因為它們對我來說已經不僅僅是車模,而是我那終將逝去的青春。每當我看到我求學階段收獲的車模,我就想起收到它時候的种种往事,趣事!我常說:收車靠緣分。緣分這東西很奇妙,注定是你的就是你的跑都跑不掉。就像我曾關注某絕版車模,一直想收卻收不到,想說即使收到了也得花不少代价!之后就不了了之,在后來無心插柳柳成蔭,一條短短的求購發布,馬上就有緣分降臨,這藏友一個很合适的价格出售!后來我在圈內逢人就說:收車靠緣分!

相信很多模友在收藏之路上多多少少也會和收車緣分扯上關系。

大家懂得~

哎呀,我也碼了不少字,也就是想和大家分享下自己的感受,有感而發就扯遠啦~

車模這東西把玩要理性些,莫要隨波逐流,盲目更風。

最后,新年即將到來,也是我本命年。生肖馬24!向大家祝福祝愿各位兄弟:馬年快樂,身体健康,吉祥如意!

看圖看膩了,論壇里也該有些文字的東西。

接著說,模型這玩意儿每個人玩的套路不同,就是看滿足自己對縮小的汽車的那一點興趣,這方面各有各的不同,所以也不能說誰高誰低,誰雅誰俗,既然是仿真模型,那真才是最重要的,能開的,我們就去看他能開的比如細節內飾發動机等地的逼真。

不能開的我們就看它外形的逼真,所以只要逼真就好。我個人當然更偏愛合金全開,lmpcl030兄說得對,其實都是生產線上,玩具厂里出來的東西,那個模型也不是倫勃朗,梵高,畢加索的畫。我覺得全開對我的吸引就在于把玩的樂趣更多,而不僅是龜車那樣的看外形。我覺得那些价格不低的手版确實外形和漆面美不胜收,但滿足不了我,他們就像娶了一位世界小姐,身材好,長得漂亮,帶出去有面子,高端上檔次,每個男人看到都會垂涎三尺,對你羡慕不已,但回家人家不給你玩,只能看,親不給你親抱不給你抱,更別說上床。只是個比喻,也許不恰當,但給我的就是這個感覺。當然話又說回來,每個人有自己的玩法,只要滿足自己,就是OK的。

作者: eugene841102
什么叫汽車模型?我覺得通俗一點解釋就叫最大程度的來還原真車的每一個細節: 比如發動机、內飾、外形等等。個人覺得汽車模型不是藝術品,因為還得不到大多數人的認同(很多人都覺得是玩具,只值几十塊),應該稱作珍藏品我覺得比較貼切吧。至于做工,無可否認現新出的做工都有瑕疵,沒辦法這是流水工厂出來的肯定是有瑕疵的,無非就是你能不能接受?有些人覺得稍微一點沒傷大雅,有些驗尸官就無法忍受了。至于价格嘛,我覺得沒什么可以吐槽的,因為人工費和版權費是占在价格里最大的兩塊(工人要吃飯,商家也要吃飯),該買的還是會買。至于CMC,EXOTO我個讓覺得做老車确實不錯,很精細,但是如果讓CMC來做現代超跑,不見得會比AA做的好多少。每個品牌個有各的特點啦。

Lenovo plans to acquire IBM’s x86 Server Business

By admin, January 30, 2014 11:45 am

Seemed Lenovo is making the move again, but it seem IBM is always selling the rubbish to Lenovo to me…haha…

On January 23, Lenovo and IBM have entered into a definitive agreement in which Lenovo plans to acquire IBM’s x86 server business. As a valued client of IBM, I wanted to reach out to you with this exciting news, and give you some of the highlights:

Under the agreement, Lenovo plans to acquire IBM’s System x, BladeCenter and Flex System blade servers and switches, x86-based Flex Systems, NeXtScale and iDataPlex servers and associated software, networking and maintenance operations.

IBM will retain its System z mainframes, Power Systems, Storage Systems, Power-based Flex servers, and PureApplication and PureData appliances. This is consistent with our strategy over the last several years to continually remix our portfolio to focus on high value solutions and services for our clients.

Lenovo and IBM plan to enter into a strategic relationship which will include a global OEM and reseller agreement for sales of IBM’s industry-leading entry and midrange Storwize disk storage systems, tape storage systems, General Parallel File System software, SmartCloud Entry offering, and elements of IBM’s system software portfolio, including Systems Director and Platform Symphony.

F1歷史問答: Grand Prix和Formula 1的分別

By admin, January 28, 2014 10:59 pm

1977_german_grand_prix_start_by_f1_history-d71xbgz

原來只是品牌之分,又一小圈子傑作。

Question from me: Can someone tell me why it’s called Grand Prix in the early days of motor car racing, but after 1979 (I think), it’s been renamed to Formula 1 (or simply F1)?

Answer by David Steele:

It was originally the Gordon Bennett Trophy. A race organised by a wealthy American Businessman between nations. Hence the colours of cars.

White = Germany, Red = Italy, Green = GB, etc, etc.

This then became the Grand Prize or Grand Prix and run by the Federation International Automobile (FIA), from Paris France.

Bernie Ecclestone then got his hands on it! The rest is history as they say. Formula 1 or F1 as it is known became a branding exercise. No longer does Grand Prix mean what it should …

Question from me: Just saw a car show, the host mentioned F1 was started in 1951, the very 1st F1 in Silverstone UK…Alfa 159 won 1-2-3…so I guess GP & F1 was used interchangeably between 50s-70s?

Answer by Wolfgang Beinhauer:
The Formula 1 World Championchip series started 1950, every race of this series is called a Grand Prix. Though, there was a couple of races in the 1950s and 1960s called a Grand Prix that didn’t count for the Formula 1 World Championchip. Prior 1950, there was no Formula 1 hence no official World Championchip.
