我實在太喜歡保時捷959了,它和法拉利F40兩位80年代的車壇代表作成為了我青少年時期的情意結,所以這幾年間一口氣入手了6台不同顏色的Exoto 959。
當然AA也曾在2011年的時候推出過紅、白、銀3色,但是總覺得AA做的外型不太準確,959身形應該更加肥胖才對,但是AA的版本因為過於纖瘦,所以神韻沒做出來,而且價格方面也比當年的Exoto 959貴上2倍。
我收菜的經驗告訴我,要收德國車模,一定要去國際拍賣網站德國或者比利時區購買,不僅款式多而且質量高,價錢方面往往也經常會喜出望外。
這次終於收到了盼望已久的黑色,驚喜的是這台Motorbox的包裝竟然跟以前那5台不大一樣,因為完全沒有Exoto的標誌,倒是有一個Revell的商標。看來江湖傳聞是真的,當年Revell把這批959版權一併賣斷了給Exoto,所以之後的那些版本沒了Revell的商標,變成了現在只帶Exoto的樣式,這台是個稀有貨,因為是Revell的第一版,10多年了,油漆依然光滑潔淨,神采飛揚!

Motorbox的Exoto版本
In July 2010, Rackspace Hosting and NASA jointly launched a new open source cloud initiative known as OpenStack. The mission of the OpenStack project was to enable any organization to create and offer cloud computing services running on standard hardware. The community’s first official release, code-named Austin, was made available just four months later with plans to release regular updates of the software every few months. The early code comes from NASA’s Nebula platform as well as Rackspace’s Cloud Files platform. Early on in the history of the project, Ubuntu [9] Linux distribution decided to adopt OpenStack.
Just read about this new jargon, very interesting indeed as OpenStack was initiated by a leading web hosting company in US and there is an extremely self-conceited man in China who said that he will replace VMware with OpenStack within a year…Gosh!
