這局面好像已經成了一個一成不變的淺規則般可悲，當一間車模廠商開始受到很多負面意見的衝擊時，最簡單直接的方法莫過於閉關自守，什么都當聽不到﹖
當然閉關自守的後果再也簡單不過，就是自以為是，陷入難堪的困境，如最近Ferrari 250 GT California擋風玻璃角度的嚴重問題就是個很好的負面教材。
AA在這方面就很有自知之明，在中國大陸開微博的第一天就不給大家留言。
反而一直受到負面消息影響的Exoto在這方面就顯得開明得多了，至少人家在Facebook是持開放態度的。
以下是一位DX的收藏家對Versus大師的回憶:
The builder of the brand, Masanori Akashi, was a hand craft builder that started to be world famous in 2006/2007. Early, I guess he was already famous in Japan where he was producing 1/18 scale models mainly from resin kits or transkits provided by APM.
Fisrt the products he was realizing were under another brand M&H (at this stage, we are several persons to think that it is the names of Masanori’s daughters Maria and Hikari). In 2006/2007, the brand has already changed to Versus. On the Japanese market, another brand was used called Veloce because Masanori made also cars for Veloce who adapt transkits on real cars.
All the cars were made in very limited quantity but this is not for that reason that the cars have value in my eyes. The accuracy and the building of the cars are the best result achieved for non industrial 1/18 model cars (I only know this scale) in my opinion of course.
The car choices were in a word “Super cars and super tuned cars” I know this is already six words, but also “one off models under customer request also in 1/24 scale and 1/12 scale”, sorry I should have said in many words…
One other particuarity is painting method, all painting has been completed with the PPG system (same as the Ferrari factory in Maranello), the best quality worldwide.
Marien left a comment in my blog, in which he pointed out a very useful tool for correctly selecting Dell Poweredge 12G server memory configuration.
For me, highest speed (now it’s in 1600Mhz) is always my first choice, sometimes, I would rather trace off less total memory for the speed as memory is the top competing resource among many VMs on the same host. Therefore, you do need to know DPC (Dimm per Channel) inside out.
Memory power consumption is the 2nd most important factor, so I always select Low Voltage (LV) 1.35 Volts as they do save quite a bit when you add up all the sticks.
Finally, 16GB is becoming the norm these days, a 288GB ESX host is no longer a dream especially when the good news of vSphere 5.1 removed the vTax limitation.
PS. Another thing I learn about the new R720 is the latest 12G server uses at least 1/4 less power than previous 11G R710 which is a great news!
剛剛看到了這句，我突然醒悟了，最近的確是忽略了身邊的人，車模的魔力真可怕啊。。。
今天突然發現Autoart釋放出了2000 GT 褐色升級版的衛星圖片。
其實之前已經收齊了金、白、紅、銀4色，這次即將推出的所謂升級版除了輪轂變為鋼絲樣子外(當然這個比CMC/EXOTO差得太遠了)，到現在為止我還看不出有什么其它部件有升級的地方，而且我不太喜歡這顏色，加上價錢因素，所以應該再次放棄了。
最近Autoart就藉著這自以為傲的鋼絲輪轂來了個大變身，如馬丁DB5、捷豹E-Type等。
我要明確指出的是價格方面的大提昇。就拿78745(Maroon)這台來說，每一個新的輪轂升級大概值11Euro，價格也硬生生地從97.95提昇到了141.95Euro的驚人水平。
作為一個瘋狂的2000 GT車模收藏家，我認為AA簡直當我們收藏家白痴，這簡單的輪轂換成了鋼絲的樣子就等於要幾乎50%的提價，至於嗎﹖我還沒提4年前買白色的2000 GT時才港幣550左右，大概55Euro，這樣算的話，那可是1.6倍的提昇啊! 看來AA最近的確想錢想瘋了，完全走火入魔了，是否真的如江湖傳聞所說最近AA銷量大減、現金流出現問題那就不得而知了。
我清楚記得當年AA還是五六百的時候，那時候我的收車激情是多麼地高昂啊，當然這些都已經是歷史了。
怪只能怪我太窮，沒錢繼續這份越來越昂貴得嗜好，TNND!
Boring as usual, it’s all about Windows 8, non of the sales there have deep knowledge about Windows Server 2012 and Hyper-V 3.0, the ones in front panel just non-stop blablablala…those noise really put me into sleep, except Microsoft promotion girls are always the center of the flash. 
I ended up leaving much early than expected, I am not going to attend this kind of seminar anymore in the future for sure, it’s a completely waste of my time.
True beauty always last forever ! To me, Audrey is always graceful no matter on screen or off screen.
剛在網上看到的、一片迷人的British Green by Jaguar。:)
1/18 Minichamps XK, Autoart D-Type, XJ13, C-Type, XK-SS, C-Type #18, E-Type Series III, Road Signature XK140
早上又聽到了這首記憶猶新的歌，其實大約10年前就聽過陶哲現場的表演，說真的，當時沒什麼感覺。
但這首重新編排和由同樣是來自台灣的創作歌手Joanna Wang的全新演繹則給人一種截然不同的感覺，奇怪的是王若琳的聲音竟然帶有些美國R&B的獨特滄桑，不看樣子還真會以為是個黑人女歌手。
