英國的超跑Mclaren F1曾經雄霸車壇整整十個年頭﹐其出類拔萃的成勣令眾多車迷們至今還如痴如醉。UT大約十年前曾經推出過一批完整系列的Mclaren F1﹐現在全成了國際拍賣網站上的珍品﹐隨隨便便都動則過千。

這次AA終于不負眾望﹐這款銀色的Mclaren F1完全可以稱得上是Signature系列的表表者﹐全車應用仿油壓的開關極多﹐Mclaren F1完全打開後﹐的確很像一隻張牙舞爪的昆虫。值得稱讚的是這次的Mclaren F1品質控制(QC)做的不錯﹐唯一不滿是車座位太過單調和塑料感比較強。還有就是價格也貴了點﹐但相信此車的性價比還是可以的﹐作為第一台AA正式的Mclaren F1產品﹐它確實沒有令一群Mclaren車迷失望﹐值得讚許。

還有就是今天看了白色的保時捷959實物後﹐就連最後的希望也一同破滅了﹐輪子的白顏色和車身白色不協調﹐最主要車型總覺得缺少了一些重要的東西﹐那就是保時捷959的感覺﹐整體太單薄不夠圓潤﹐車型做工真的不如當年EXOTO的準確。那紅色AA保時捷959更不用提了﹐顏色有些令人反感﹐這種種的一切令我決定放棄收藏全部AA的保時捷959。

今天在香港看到和摸到了實物﹐說實在的﹐完全不值得港幣900(這是打8折後)這個價格﹐外形還不如我那些幾年前的EXOTO 959準確﹐車頭燈做的肯定不夠EXOTO好﹐水撥簡直開玩笑﹐車尾不夠EXOTO 的圓潤﹐紅色PORSCHE燈飾模糊一片﹐內飾雖然精細但顏色太漆黑﹐看不出什麼細節﹐車門裡面感覺太塑料﹐引擎室只有那麼一點進步。整體來說最多值港幣600﹐所以我放棄了購買這台銀色和之後的紅色﹐白色還有一丁點興趣。

自己比較了一下幾年前EXOTO做的和這星期AUTOART推出的959。最主要覺得AUTOART的959外形不太准，EXOTO的圓潤很多，外形比較接近真車。959尾巴的外形，大家可以自己比較一下:

真車

Exoto

Autoart

希望AA最后不要爆出事實真相如“其實我們用的就是EXOTO多年前的模具，所以應該沒兩樣”(翻白眼)

Coming soon, a must have item for all Jag’s die-hard fans. I am going to get the Silver/Red Roadster and the Green/Red Coupe.

今天有幸得到了另一款的24 Hours of Le Mans Aston Martin DBR9  #58﹐上AA網站查了一下﹐原來橙紅色嘴唇的其實出過兩款﹐而又以這款的橙紅色顯得特別突出。(前幾天才在MC論壇裡看到有模友把這台拍的特別有氣勢)

1/18 ASTON MARTIN DBR9 SEBRING 2005 #58 KOX / LAMY / SARRAZIN

離遠觀看下﹐原來這台DBR9看來還真像中國年畫裡橙紅色的鯉魚嘴﹐尤其那橙紅色的嘴唇和大大的眼睛﹐之前收的那台素綠色版的DBR9反而覺得沒這麼顯眼。

最後樓下的銀色F430今天又出現了﹐這次拍到了大部份車身和那透明的紅色引擎蓋(好看﹗)。值得稱讚的是﹐車主今天的質數改良了不少﹐馬的脾氣也大大收斂了不少﹐再沒有像之前的那樣耀武揚威了﹐可能他幾個月前第一次做了法拉利車主後﹐那份興奮的感覺已經急速下降﹐憑他換車的經驗來估計﹐看來他下一台換的應該會是林寶大牛才對口味。

The new Virtual Data Center project has been keeping me really busy, the followings are some of my findings.

• Learn that R810/M910 with 4 sockets will only use 1 memory controller instead of two, memory bandwidth will be cut by half, that sucks! Strange enough, when R810 populates with 2 sockets only, it will use both memory controllers and gain access to all 32 DIMMS. So R810/R910 is still best for 2 sockets server, that why we switch to R710 instead after read the benchmarking, it’s a waste of money to go for R810.
• DDR3L low voltage (1.35V), we populate with 2 DPC (8GB x 12 DIMMS), guess what? Voltage will shoot to normal 1.5V! and no one at Dell pre-sales or pro-support can answer us this, I found out this fact from HP’s resources, ridiculous! Anyway, it’s still running at 1333Mhz, that’s a bless.
• Equallogic PS6000XV 15K should be a monster, we will only be worried about adding front-end (like R710/R720/R730) and adding back-end PS6000XV/PS7000XV etc. in the future, that’s main selling point for this solution, scalable beyond imagination, this really is the whole motivation we selected EQL boxes.
• With the release of vSphere 4.1, VAAI, iSCSI Off-load fully support on Broadcom 5709 but no Jumbo Frame, what the heck! EQL vStorage off-load improvement, Multipath plugin (EQL finally solved the big problem)
• One box of PS6000XV is good enough for 4Gbps, absolutely no need to go for 10Gbps for the time being except you are aiming for that 200M/s increase (yes, it can only reach 650M/s at max, there is no way reaching 1000M/s in reality. We were also told by paying about 1/4 of the box, you can always upgrade to 10Gbps version of PS6010XV in the future, but for our environment, IOPS is way demanding than thoughput, so 4Gbps is more than enough, just get a PowerConnect 5448 with 48 ports, we should have lots of space to grow from here.
• There is a special iSCSI Key need to be purchased in order to have TOE+iSCSI Off-load on R710, this is the same on HP Proliant servers.
• Found HP Proliant’s server resources are much more professional than Dells’, but Dell’s stuff are a lot cheaper (1/3 at least), so we just have to live with that.
• In ESX 4 or above, Thick provisioning is always recommended for performance concerned VM applications, it’s a lot faster.
• Talked to two of the local IDC who’s going to start a cloud business, but their core technical team doesn’t seem to know what they are really doing, seemed they have a long way to go comparing with US counterparts.
• Again, virtualization is the future and you need a good SAN to support it!
• Talk to your inside sales manager, show your sincerity, you will be rewarded and get unbelievable discount at quarter end!
• Dell’s EQL expert is really helpful and resourceful, thank you so much! You are really the super-hero, kick-ass type!

雖然是遙控車﹐但1比8的大傢伙來的也夠氣勢﹐前後燈可以在向前倒後分別亮燈﹐還有兩級換擋加速﹐開車時發出模擬引擎咆哮聲﹐最利害的是竟然可以玩出一點點“漂移”的效果﹐整架車在最後衝刺時打轉﹐然後改變方向。

這台Aston Martin V8 Vantage做的最好看的是車尾巴﹐比真車還要大和短﹐加上那誇張的輪子﹐的確讓我高興了好一陣子。

就快賣給人﹐臨別前拍照留念。
