這些罕見的Exoto人偶在那裡﹖

By admin, January 9, 2014 6:24 pm

以下4個Exoto人偶向來都是神龍見首不見尾,我從來就沒見過,如果你哪裡遇見過,請告訴我。

RLG18041 (Ken Miles), RLG19040S (Mario Andretti), RLG19042 (Chris Amon), RLG18105 (Rolf Stommelen), RLG18145S (Hap Sharp)

So far 只找到Porsche 935 RLG18105 (Rolf Stommelen)

更新: 有朋友告訴我其實以上的都是出自一間美國專業製作人偶Racing Dioramics工作室的產品。

Exoto除了早期那些人偶產品如002 Tyrrell Cevert、Lotus 49和Ferrrari 312B外,大部份的人偶都是由一名叫Crittenden的Racing Dioramics女藝術家在南加州設計然後在中國大陸批量生產的,真是巾幗英雄!

找到了 RLG18041 (Ken Miles) 和 RLG19040S (Mario Andretti)

加拿大車模朋友Will de Boer提供了 RLG18145S (Hap Sharp)的照片,但是還是找不到任何RLG19042 (Chris Amon)的線索,應該從未推出過。

80年代的網壇巨星…

By admin, January 9, 2014 4:12 pm

想不到短短一個月內80年代的網壇巨星都成了新一代天王的教練,難道是去年Andy Murray溫網奪冠的啟示﹖最神奇的是Edberg和Becker同時幾乎宣佈成為世界頂尖球手的教練。

同樣的在2013年12月,張德培也成了日本一哥錦織圭的顧問教練,還有就是Goran Ivanisevic最近也成為了Marin Cilic的長期教練。看來這些昔日的巨星們再次找到其用武之地,希望通過新一代把過往的對壘從80年代一直延伸下去。

27 December 2013

Six-time Grand Slam winner Stefan Edberg has joined Roger Federer’s coaching team ahead of next month’s Australian Open in Melbourne.

The Swede was Wimbledon men’s singles champion in 1988 and 1990, and reached number one in the world rankings.

The last of 32-year-old Swiss Federer’s 17 Grand Slam titles was his 2012 Wimbledon triumph over Andy Murray.

“Stefan was my childhood hero, and I am really looking forward to spending time with, and learning from, him,” he said.

“I’m really excited to be part of Roger’s team and I hope together we can bring out his best tennis,” said 47-year-old Edberg.

The former Davis Cup winner will begin working with Federer ahead of 2014’s first major, which begins on 13 January.

World number two Novak Djokovic recently appointed Boris Becker, who faced Edberg in three consecutive Wimbledon finals, as his head coach.

Wimbledon champion Andy Murray began working with Ivan Lendl, who Edberg replaced as world number one in 1990, late in 2011 and went on to claim his first Grand Slam title at the US Open in the following year.

18 December 2013

World number two Novak Djokovic has appointed six-time Grand Slam winner Boris Becker as his head coach.

The 26-year old Serb, who has also won six major titles, will start work with Becker before the Australian Open, which starts on 13 January.

Djokovic’s long-time coach Marian Vajda will continue as part of his team.

“I am proud Novak invited me to become his head coach. I am sure we can achieve great things together,” said former Wimbledon champion Becker, 46.

Defending Australian Open champion Djokovic has been with Vajda since 2006 but other coaches have come and gone on a regular basis during that period.

“Boris brings a fresh approach and together with Vajda he will make a winning combination,” said Djokovic.

“Boris is a true legend, someone who has great tennis knowledge, and his experience will help me win new trophies, Grand Slams and other tournaments.

“He is a great person too, and I am sure he will fit in our team in the best possible way. The team is now strengthened and we hope for maximum results.

“My goal for 2014 is to play my best tennis and to get in shape for the grand slams and Masters 1000. These tournaments have the most weight in our sport, and I want to prove my worth at them.”

ecker first shot to prominence by winning Wimbledon as an unseeded 17-year-old in 1985.

During a 15-year professional career, the German won 64 ATP Tour titles, including three Wimbledon singles crowns.

Djokovic will be hoping to reclaim his world number one spot from Spain’s Rafael Nadal in 2014.

Vajda, who has worked with Djokovic since 2006, will attend events in Indian Wells, Madrid, Toronto and Beijing as part of his scaled-back role, but welcomed Becker’s arrival.

“I realised that Novak needed a new head coach in order for him to continue improving certain parts of the game,” said Vajda.

原來延續下一代有著這樣層次的意義

By admin, January 9, 2014 2:49 pm

今天在電視節目裡聽到了以下這一段,原來延續下一代有著這樣層次的意義,我之前從來都沒這樣想過。

“父母總有一天會離開我們,他們的血液一直都在我們的身體裡流淌、他們的生命在我們身上得到延續,一直陪伴著我們,所以我們並不感到孤單。”

搶先看: 08882R竟然竟然出爐了!

果然京商在大陸的代工廠什麼渠道的都有。:)

但是這次京商還是做錯了,因為法拉利F355 Challenge的版本是有尾翼的,可能正式推出時會更正,雖然這個希望很渺茫。

關於Exoto車模版權的江湖傳聞 (如有雷同,純屬巧合)

By admin, January 7, 2014 1:22 pm

據知Exoto老闆Tony K.的老婆Eileen是一個專業的美國版權法律師,聰明的她最終找到了關於當地版權法的灰色地帶。辦法就是在新產品上不提及任何法拉利(Ferrari)的字樣,而用Tipo這個字眼代替,最重要的是宣稱這個產品跟原車廠和駕駛員沒任何關係,所有的東西只是作為參考(reference purposes)而已。

This product is not licensed by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Jaguar Cars Limited.

All manufacturer’s names, symbols, and descriptions are used for reference purposes only, and do not imply that any Exoto Product listed is the product of these manufacturers.

Any racing team and/or driver names, symbols and/or descriptions are used for reference purposes only, and do not imply that any Exoto Product listed is the product of these racing teams and/or drivers, or is endorsed by any racing team or driver.

至於那些之前還沒被剝奪法拉利版權而又已經推出的產品則可以繼續維持現狀。所以我們現在看到Exoto的網頁上出現了Ferrari和Tipo共存的奇怪現象也就不難解釋了。

exoto-cp

當然這不100%代表沒問題,可能法拉利和Mattel根本就沒興趣和時間在這些小錢上跟Exoto糾結。

不過國內的山寨倒可以參考一下這個偷天換日的方法進行高端車模行業發展,但是是否真的行得通那還要仔細研究大陸的版權法才成。

意外收獲、竟然是…

這台頭文字D現在在日本和香港已經炒翻天了,有些成交竟然比原价貴一倍,嚇死人了。

之前根本沒想收頭文字D的,甚至完全忘記了自己其實多月前已經訂了這台AE86,直至今天車模店打給我才記得,幸好沒錯過,才港幣1,100左右,真合算啊,哈哈。

超誇張的定風翼

今天在家附近給我碰上了這台難得一見的993 Carrera RS,但是突然發現其實993的RS有些尾重頭輕的感覺,所以還是覺得比例上應該是964的大尾翼版本加上那突起的前燈比較對稱。

關於近兩年Equallogic Firmware的命名方式

By admin, December 24, 2013 12:24 pm

eqlf說真的,我還在用v5.2.2,v6頂多可以叫做5.4,v7那也就是5.7。

EQL最近一兩年這樣的命名方式簡直就是自欺欺人,用來嚇唬人新人還可以,其實背后根本還是一頭紙老虎來的。所以最近一年v6和v7的更新在EQL社區里都沒有像之前5.1引來那么大的回響了,而那些所謂的新功能其實也都比較雞肋。

咨同樣道理ESX4.1>ESX5.5 (其實應該叫ESX4.8)沒之前那么大的回響也是預料之中。

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it

另外據一位資深中國Dell L2工程師多年前的忠告,如果沒事就請別搬石頭砸自己的腳,請不要動不動就去升級各類硬件的Firmware和Driver,一定要以穩定至上。

e.g., http://communities.vmware.com/message/2300998

Last but not least, keep your network & storage design simple but elegant!

最後其實我一直都有以下疑問,多年來都沒有得到很好的答案:

個別Member出錯的機會應該會隨着你增加EQL Members進Group而增加的,那豈不很危險﹖想想看,一個16個Members的Group個別硬件出錯機會一定比一個4個Members的Group大。

如果是我的話,就會把16個Members的Group分成4組4個Members的Group,主要還是不放心。

究竟怎樣分配才是最佳的平衡點呢﹖
