之前看過一個Classic Car節目，裡面提到:

“We are just the temporary keeper during a specific time frame and then time moves on…passing to the next…”

我覺得這句講得很有意思，因為模型車收藏也是一樣，我們都是在某個時空曾經擁有過它們，然後將自己的心愛傳承去下一個收藏家。

Absolutely agree!

What’s even more amazing is the same owner also has a classic 60s’ Ferrari Lusso, “It was just made to look pretty…”

Keep on dreaming of course…that’s why it’s always important to have a few dream in life to pursue.

這個位于菲律賓馬尼拉的車庫裡竟然有這麼多1比18的模型車，真令人眼界大開!

這款應該是改過的，樣子還真的不錯。可惜對於日系，我永遠都搞不懂它們那種獨有的汽車文化。

After reading several SCv2000 reviews, I found it’s simply an upgraded version of PowerVault, so I seriously doubt the performance is even near Equallogic PS4100 series.

Quote from StorageReview:

The Dell Storage SCv2000 Series is a customer-inspired series of entry-level storage arrays that offer same common management and several of the core features as higher-end Dell SC Series arrays, such as the SC4020. According to Dell, the SCv2000 Series offers the “best performance and protection in its class with integrated data protection to support specialized projects, database and test environments, or simple storage consolidation.” The new arrays enable customers to standardize on a common platform, saving time and money. The SCv2000 Series comes in three models with expansion options: the SCv2000, SCv2020, and SCv2080

Benefits include:

• High performance at an affordable price – The arrays deliver best-in-class performance in a single, affordable 2U enclosure. Feature-rich options include proven data protection features, RAID tiering to optimize capacity, thin provisioning, flash support, data-migration services, and multi-protocol connectivity. Granular data protection allows up to 2,000 snapshots and 500 replications.
• Integrated data protection- Remote Instant Replay, Local Instant Replays and Replay Manager along with RAID tiering that optimizes SAN capacity. Tight integration with common application environments, such as Microsoft and VMware, help to simplify virtualized data centers, allowing local and remote data protection features to take consistent snapshots of virtual machines without sacrificing performance.
• Future flexibility with Storage Center – Customers can gain more value from existing investments with data migration to higher-tier Dell Storage SC4000 and SC8000 Series arrays. The SCv2000 Series supports today’s needs and future growth as the arrays can be managed with the same, single user interface as other SC Series arrays. Customers can scale capacity when needed with the benefit of no capacity licensing and choose from a broad range of hard drives and SSDs, configured for a variety of applications.

昨天看到期待已久的1958年勒芒冠軍車終於出現了，可惜的是這台並非我要的那個皮底座版本，所以看來還需繼續耐心等待。

順帶一提，這台法拉利TR/58的車型之前沒有任何一間車模製造廠推出過，所以這次是首次推出，應該可以賣個滿堂紅!

另外製造商名叫Blue Moon Model (簡稱BLM)，大家應該不太熟悉這個名字，之前模型博覽會的時候不都說這台是BBR生產的嗎﹖原來BLM跟那些在意大利製作的BBR高端產品不同，這是BBR和一間大陸汽車模型製造商在中國製作的合作產品，類似之前京商和Frontiart合作推出的樹脂膠產品一樣。

說到這裡大家應該都猜到了，這間BBR不願意開名的廠商很可能就是Tecnomodel或者Frontiart。由它們代工，BBR出名字，一家便宜兩家著，Why Not!

1958 Ferrari 250 TR58, LeMans Winner, Hill/Gendebien

21 and June 22, 1958: a row of 10 Ferrari cars are at the start line; but only two will finish the race. But only one: the 1958 Ferrari 250TR driven by Phil Hill and Oliver Gendebien arrives and take 1st place  absolute in front of the Aston Martin cars that take the 2nd and 3rd place.

終於見到這台擺滿迷你版香水的XJ出來活動了，原來車主更是同一座的鄰居。他的另一台XJ8開篷跑車更是一代英倫經典，果然有品味!

全部1比18大比例的展示櫃子，不用猜了，全是國外收藏家的。香港寸金尺土，要想達到這樣的水平，應該還是比較困難的。
