Comments (0) 最近幾個月收了兩台IG的老日系樹脂膠產品，覺得IG的1/18質量和價錢都挺合理。其實IG的前身HPI做工更加不用講!
我的一個香港車模朋友就更加利害，幾乎收齊了全部的IG 1/18車型和顏色，看來已經中毒太深，走不回頭了，哈哈。
另外我很希望IG能夠考慮推出以下這兩台1比18的超Cool 70年代日系暴走族，因為它倆小巧得來很有氣勢!

我身邊為什麼這麼多”損友”，今天又被人放毒箭!
看來香港最近有很多人都轉玩波子最後一代風冷二手車，極有可能就是貪圖那好聽的咆哮引擎聲音。今天在樓下停車場又發現了一部新的銀色敞篷993。
好多年前曾經係旺角學校附近間環球模型櫥窗前痴痴地呆看過它…1比16Fujmi出嘅白色法拉利Testarossa Miami Vice單耳版本。想不到今日竟然又係佐敦一間模型老鋪前見到，頓時百感交集…
好鬼80年代!
關於今日單頭條: 今時今日各大網上銀行嘅保安做到足，要什麼1024Bits加密，又要雙重密碼加埋隻RSA蛋，轉帳有手機SMS提示…IT人都覺得複雜…點知櫃檯就幾乎中門大開…任攞。
好多時小數目，個客簽名(好多途徑…超容易拿到)差不多，唔需身份證就攞到錢，話是話仲容易過手持AK47打劫銀行，直頭係White Collar Easy Job。
好啦，頭先打電話俾恆生問今日單新聞如何防範，點知個醒目職員答: 先生，大多數正常人都會有幾個不同的簽名! 銀行一個，信用卡一個，公司/買樓另一個。 (真係好正常!)
跟住當然係揾佢Manager繼續傾有關於銀行櫃檯保安嘅問題。
當然傾完個結果都係一樣，既係擺錢係銀行冇乜保障，安全程度同阿婆將D錢放係床下鐵罐差唔多。
最近閱讀了這篇精彩的文章獲益匪淺，The Incredible Workshops of Maranello’s Master Craftsmen裡面如實報道了位于意大利法拉利總部附近的幾個家庭小作坊。
也就是這種獨特的父傳子傳統工藝令他們肩負著為全球經典法拉利收藏家修復工作的重擔，幾十年的優良技藝也因此得以傳承下去。
這兩台日式改超跑預期會在明年一二月推出，但產品依然沒有Ferrari和Lamborghini的名子，估計應該還是沒能拿到版權。
另見: Ferrari 458 LB Performance by GT Spirit?
LB Works 458 (GT084)
LB Works LP700-4 (GT073)
昨天偶然看到了這台最近成交的白色HWY61 SRT8，細看物件的內文描述才發現原來有幾個地方做錯了。
所以我之前那台由Performance Year改裝得罕有Hurst Challenger Stage I Series SRT8, 2009 (50759H)也是錯的，因為母體是一樣的。
另外上星期我終於在加拿大一個收藏家手上找到了這台限量500台Highway 61 Challenger裡的Holy Grail: 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T 440 6 pac (50554)
最後我發現無論是1971的Challenger R/T 440 6 pac還是2007年的SRT8，大家除了白色以外，最顯眼的就是那綠色的車牌，因為上面印有同樣的字樣，同是出自1971年Vanishing Point電影裡的 OA-5599 19 COLORADO 70!!!

Prayers of the muscle-car faithful have finally been answered in the release of the new Dodge Challenger R/T’s. The production Challenger is based on the Chrysler LX-platform of the 300C, Magnum, Charger and their SRT8 versions from the Chrysler performance skunkwerks at Auburn Hills, Michigan.
The new Challenger concept was first introduced at the 2006 Detroit Auto Show, and was styled after the legendary 1970 model. A production model was announced to ship in early 2008 and dealers immediately were swamped with inquiries. Originally advertised at just $37,995 MSRP, the first production model brought over $400,000 in January 2008 at the famous Barrett-Jackson auction in Arizona. Production was limited to just over 6400 cars.
Overall, the exterior design cues remain faithful to the popular concept car, with some alterations. From the egg-crate grille (paying tribute to the original 1970 model), to the front and rear spoilers and satin chrome fuel-filler door the lineage is obvious. The design may appear slightly bulkier then the original, but still proudly outranks anything in its class. Then or now!
The Highway 61 Collectibles Dodge Challenger R/T’s feature all-new tooling in exacting 1:18 scale. Opening doors, hood and trunk are standard. Other features include highly-detailed 5.7 HEMI® engine, automatic transmission and dual exhaust. The 20-inch Heritage Classic or Chrome-Clad wheels are faith fully reproduced, as are the P245/45ZR20 Goodyear tires. A sunroof lights the fully-detailed interior with flip-forward seat backs and realistic seat belts and harnesses.
From eBay Item Description
To pay homage to the great 1971 film, Vanishing Point, Bob Frederick of New Wilmington Dodge, Pennsylvania has created 10 Kowalski Edition Dodge Challengers. Starting with an Inaugural Edition SRT8 (in white of course), the dealership removes the stripe, adds some custom decals and 20-inch Alcoa SRT wheels. On the inside, the seats feature a dark shade and a wood grain Hurst pistol grip shifter, attempting to look as similar as possible to the movie’s 1970 version. And of course, a numbered plaque designates which Kowalski Edition Challenger it is.
Well the good folks at the former highway 61 decided to have one of their new generation challengers constructed as an homage to this “kowalski edition” srt8. But some huge mistakes were made on this model at the factory.
Firstly, as you can see in the photos, the model has both R/T & SRT8 badging. the real car is an SRT8with the 6.1 HEMI engine. but all outer badges on this car indicate R/T, which would only be optioned with the 5.7 HEMI!!! (ie, HEMI is 5.7L).
There are also SRT8 badges on the front seat backs. There is no spoiler, as there should be with an srt8 badge & Kowalski edition logo!!
Although mainly badged as an R/T, the car has the SRT8 optioned 20-inch Alcoa SRT wheels. As well, as you can clearly see, the diecast indicates 6.1 HEMI on the hood, yet this is not present on the real car!! as well, the real Kowalski tribute car has no moonroof & the diecast model does!!
