Drifting road trip in Japan 2007 *read description*
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 май 2023
- Back in 2007, I came to Japan to shoot magazine articles, and ended up going on a road trip from Osaka all the way up to Fukushima to visit the Ebisu Circuit Autumn Drift Matsuri. Running on empty and with no sleep and no navigation apart from a map book, watch as I go over the video to see why the Silvia ends up stuck in the snow on a mountainside.
Big thanks to @DriftLifeAus and @JDMism for the footage and camerawork.

11:54 Avoiding tolls saved us ¥15,500 ($120ish)
Muito dinheiro
But... it made you to spend a lot more on the gas... right?
How much would you have paid in tolls ?😅
@@earthling123 It was 2007. it was F all then.
@JDMism hey man, did you ever happen to get any MCCR footage?
Actually really highly rate these old 2000s videos and commentary!
Definetly!
Agreed
I love it too
Yeah we need more
Alexi, you're a proper TOP MAN for providing us with all the fascinating time capsules! Thank You!
THIS /\
Don’t you mean top G 😎
Seeing Alexi with a smile on his face looking back on these old memories was the best part.
When you realise 2007 was actually quite a while ago 😢
Depression.
The evolution was more significant in the last 20 years, that's why it seems longer

what do you mean, its been 5 years, its not that long ago... oh wait
I felt that ☹️
17 Years - Alexi is OLD
The S14 in this clip I purchased for $2,800 USD, really clean with a bunch of mods and Recaro SR3's 😂. Those prices were the good old days.....
Also a door! Don’t forget the door
@@JDMism the man the myth
you should do another road trip across japan, live on twitch, for charity… 🤔
With @cdawgVA
@@RomanticNightDreamer dont forget chris
Dude that would be awesome
@@RomanticNightDreamer we know Alexi is a fellow Monke Enjoyer *plays gigachad gif*
Monthly stream turned into biyearly stream 😔
Thanks for sharing the footage of our adventure Alexi!
nek minute 🥰
Thank you for the car, and your patience with my suboptimal choice of route home
i'm sure i'm not the only one hoping you could dig out more old stuff if you have it and share your experiences like this. it's super wholesome and down to earth and relatable to a lot of us having our own wee adventures and what not
The adventures of John Lennon and Quentin Tarantino! Love these nostalgic videos, man 2007 feels like a lifetime ago sometimes
Ah dude, this was super cool. I'm glad ya'll were recording this stuff and props for digitizing it! Digitizing DV tapes is not the jam.
18 Hour in S14 With no Sleep definitely worth it Thank you Alex for sharing this with us much appreciate it
cool to see how calm drifting was back in 07 compared to how agressive its today
And you needed more skill, nowdays it's all about power, without it they are nothing
Best 28 minutes and 16 seconds of my entire life, thanks for making my weekend
This demonstrates the beauty of being able to record memories such as this so you can re-watch them in years to come
A "put it in H" reference in 2007 is pretty incredible.
I started laughing when they said that then remembered were it came from lol
Elaborate!!!
@@andrzejkopalnia It's from the Simpsons. Homer is buying a used automatic car from a dealership run by an Eastern European caricature called 'crazy Vaclav', and when he can't figure out how to put the car in drive Vaclav instructs him to "put it in H". It's become a more popular bit in the last few years, but was very obscure in 2007.
I still have my map books as a back up. That thing never failed me
Imagine a 2023 road trip with the same people, just to compare the times and for nostalgias sake.
really enjoyed this style of storytelling while watching an old video. almost like the bonus features on an old movie dvd with director commentary
"Back in my day maps came in books and all we had to play with was our breath in the air..." :p
Im really enjoying this deep dive through(i dont even know what to call it) the history books.
Thank you for making this. Took me right back to that time. Things were so different back then, and it's not even that long ago. I miss it.
that shot the next morning they woke up... I could feel that wind in my bones
This is cool. A look back in time. My teenage years wer spent watching hpi DVDs and d1 gp. The best era back then
The "what does the Russia stand for" bit killed me instantly
This road trip had the best sound track.
Those are real road trip! No map, just a bunch of friends with very limited knowledge but a big passion driving them! I'm not that young but still i didn't manage to live those times... Now it's just about the destination 99% of the time.
i’d say rad trips, more than road trips
Super rare to find another Jos, this made my day!
Was that Adagio for strings at 10:30 when the sun was rising?
Also So cool seeing Shino she hasn't changed at all 👍👍
i was just about to ask what music was playing there, browsing the comments still does pay off.
note for others: its the track by tiesto
Alexi I have to say these retro videos from you have been a pleasure to watch. The vibes are immaculate. The type of memorable experiences I dream of having visiting Japan. That 2007 drift vlog you posted 3 years ago is still one of my favorite videos ever. Literally
I absolutely love your "1990s" long hair!
As I graduated HS in 1993, my bangs where so long that they covered my face and chin...
Those were the days.😂
absolutely phenomenal video. god i miss magazine era.
These old videos are a blast from the past! Incredibly fun to see and it really feels like we get taken back to the time when these were made 😄
14:06 3 Australian men blaring Australian crawl in a car with Australian website decals is the best form of patriotism
absolutely loved this video! haha so cool to see the early days.
10:30 damn. Adagio for String by Tiesto on the radio. Good times.
Hell yes!
It was a CD with a bunch of MP3s from memory. Early 2000s house/trance ❤
@@DriftLifeAus Such a vibe.
The guys listening to the RHCP the whole way through the doomed snowstorm was my favorite 😂
That zenki and model 6's hit so goooood
Man things used to feel so much more adventurous back then! Using paper maps, not knowing the weather forecast, and having to ask local people where to stay/eat are some of the things that younger generations will never know. Not that is was better then than it is today, it was just a lot more adventurous going on a trip. Really enjoy these videos!
Edit: autocorrect
Lawrences thread on jdmst about his yellow s14 was hands down one of the best
Thank you for uploading the old footage, seriously - I had moved to Osaka just before this was shot (going from the date on the fuel slip) and I don't know if it's the quality of the footage, or lack of smartphones, or the models of cars on the road or what, but it's easy to identify around this time of the decade in Japan. Not to get all too sentimental but it was such an awesome time in Japan in the late 2000s. J-sports cars were still affordable, parts were relatively dirt cheap - I remember seeing new R33 headlights (unfoggy) for Y15,000 at an Up Garage. Nothing like that now. :/
Love seeing footage from the 2000s, when 90s style cars were mashed together with the new modern era of missiles and bigbodies.. so cool to see!
I love the music throughout the drive, especially Aussie crawl
man what a blast from the past, i need more of this :D
love the old john lennon 2007 japan footage, I remember seeing him live, old times
Aweseome video, something about that old timey feel with the old camera quality and the fact that everything was done without phones just hits
These videos are amazing. Going over old footage is something I’d die for more of. Genuinely hyped you made another. I had searched far and wide for old noriyaro vlogs as they are such a time capsule for a culture I was just too young to see. Keep going, yaro!
It doesn’t haveeee to be 2023 content next time, I’m loving these!!
I was hesitant when I saw the length of the video, but it was worth every minute. Top men.
I've watched some of Joss videos before and he's mentioned getting stuck in the snow. Glad to see that footage
There is a few videos I edited of this trip many moons ago over on my RUclips channel with some additional footage.
It feels good to be just old enough to have experienced paper map era and hilarious chaos that is 4 dudes around late teens and early twenties stuffed in estate wagon touring backroads of foreign country. Smartphones and offline maps have made things so much more convenient.
"there are many nature here"
alexi watching himself riding a scooter and smiling is wholesome
At the same time, I was in HongKong shipping front clips and cars back to America. Oh how technology has changed! I remember video cameras weren’t THAT big and I took photos. I worked for a company that shipped jdm cars to Texas
so glad you finally got this footage and got to uploading it. bestttttt x
What you described in the intro is literally the definition of being an automotive journalist, and I'm glad to hear that it worked well for you.
I actually enjoy watching this old school vids
love these, keep em coming pls

It's so nostalgic for me. Seeing Old you brings back memories of me, Your videos and Jesse streeter videos was my inspiration to go see Japan. Broken guy from ester Europe going Japan for 3 months to see how people live there. Going to Osaka bay area hoping to see and meet some people there on those roads. Didn't work out for me., only seen lot of s13 and civics packed in car parks.. With wheels and tools behind them.. One stranded out, with sticker on winshild "sexy osaka style" gajin website to meet girl, so she can show me around Osaka.. Yes and paper maps to navigate around city. Sleeping in computer rent thing till first train bac to shinosaka.. What a experience it was. ❤
