Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Hikki Hut has loved JDM cars his entire life. A few years ago, he was able to purchase his dream car, a Mazda Cosmo. After buying his dream car, he built his dream home: a shop with living quarters above it. The shop transports you back to a 1970s-era garage, filled with all kinds of priceless decor and memorabilia.

Mad respect for this man, anyone who would give his stuff to others to help them restore their classic is truly an altruistic human being.

Brought majority of it in the last 5yrs… big money spent, awesome set up.
He's done it. He reached dream. Mad respect
Once again, I’m blown away from these videos, and I’m not even a JDM guy…these guys have some impressive collections, wow!!
WOW. just wow this guy is living every car enthusiasts dream. Mad respect
TRULY APPRECIATE the opportunity to see all these cars . Thank you Hut and Hagerty.
Brother this man is a true gem in the car community. Respect to his wife for allowing him to enjoy his passion of building cars. I am truly impressed 💯 all the way from Trinidad and Tobago. Great job looking forward to a revisit

Respect to his wife for allowing him? I've heard it all now. She knows what she can do if she doesn't like it. Fair Dinkum!

What are you talking about?! Listen to this 3:31 and this 8:47 . Respect to the man for doing his things despite the wife.
Wow, he is so creative. His whole house is a living Japanese car culture diorama & it really makes the cars standout! Thanks for the video Larry & thank him for sharing his collection with us!
Props to Hagerty for hiring Larry. We love these videos.
I love how his philosophy is "You cannot keep all of the things that you love forever, but at least you can remember them" so he has the scale models for his cars :')

That was my favorite part! I love the idea of making scale models of my past vehicles to remember them by.
Khor Pun Mak Krup Hut and Larry 🙏🥰 Wow! I’m really lost for words. I’m so often in Thailand for almost every major car event, I would love to visit this beautiful time capsule that he has created. Truly a work of art. Time, attention to details and of course money 💴🫡🥰👏🤙🙏
What an epic collection and beautiful house/museum! Well done Hikki!
This is probably one of the best videos you guys have made in this series, by far. All of them are great, but this one just felt something special.
While this enthusiast's house and collection is so impressive I'm more impressed by you Larry you're commitment to the Hobby and the way you have turned it into an Art is amazing......thank you thank you From CT
OMG, this is BY FAR the best car collection video I have ever seen. Jay Leno needs to meet this guys, what an inspiration!!!
There is Heng's Garage, then there is this. Screw the man cave, these are the ultimate car man house.
Larry Chen videos are gold. Hagerty knocked it out of the park collaborating with him.
This guy has impeccable taste. I’m inspired
Sweet Jesus.... Both the whole house, garage and of course the man behind it all, Hikki Hut, has built the most impressive temple to JDM cars and culture, that I think I've ever seen. It must be unreal to just walk around it all in person, and it probably feels like you could go around it for a month, and still not see all the amazing little details. How he has the time to even concentrate on one thing, like the decoration, or gathering all of the exquisitely rare JDM signage, or the car parts, and then to restore the cars with such attention to detail. How the hell does he do it!!! 😅
Life goal right there. This is actually what I picture in my head when I think about the house & storing space I want for my cars. Mad respect, sir. The Bellet was a nice surprise. Those are indeed incredibly rare, I wonder how many are still left.
I could watch this every day, such a masterpiece.
You've got skills, keep honing them
OMFG. This is absolutely stunning. I've always wanted to have a living area I could park vehicles in.
HOW DOES HE HAVE THE TIME? This is amazing. Great job Mr Hut.

This is what happens when you’re the sole heir to a family fortune and have nothing but time.
Such a tasteful garage/house. Looks like the owner did a lot of work to make it this good looking and it really shows. I love how true he stays to his hobbbies. Also again: Perfect camera shots from Larry, such passion. 10:26 favourite shoot.
There are some really beautiful ppl in the car community and i love when they are shown.
Words can't express what a wonderful home, and collection he has. So tasteful.

And mad respect to remember each cars he owned building a unique replica diecast ! So humble to share.. speechless, this guy is a true Legend..
When LARRY CHEN says ,,i've never seen one" you know it must be VERY rate
Love from Germany ✌️
This vibe is absolutely wild
Just incredible what a pleasure this being documented in film
Living the Garage Life
What kind of a "job" do you need to be able to afford this sort of thing! It can't be cheap, even in Thailand!❤

"Jobs" are for the working class. This dude is from the "Capital" class. Capitalists leverage the labor of the working class to become wealthy. Every year the gap gets wider and wider so enjoy what little you have now and maybe just maybe the wealthy will keep letting us film collections of cars nobody else can afford to own.

@@lowellfunk8974 "even in Thailand" funny you say that, because it's a 300% import tax on any car that is brought into this country. So, for example, a 250k Lambo would actually cost 1M in Thailand.

Well, the fact that he built his house on an already large family property and appears to have nothing but time to work on cars and collect things, I’d say this has inherited fortune written all over it.
Outstanding...ive never seen anything like this! He is living the best life!!!!❤
Amazing home and collection. I wonder what his business is because I have been to Bkk and Thailand and this guy is wealthy beyond measure for that country.
Mind absolutely blown!!! Thank you Larry so much for sharing things like this as they are amazing to see and be very jealous of.
WOW!! Absolutely Amazing!! 😇
Man that is Incredible 🫶
I came here to say GTFO fanboy but left truly impressed.
Incredible layout and automotive memorabilia collection displayed!!!
I only got 3 words for all of this.. OH MY GOD!!!!
Really cool dude. A true gearhead that can turn a wrench also. Lots of props to him
You know he's a true car guy when the parts he buys, collects and uses are more important than the cars themselves
Can't wait till Larry go back to visit Hut again. Waiting to see when he finish the work shop
Respect from Russia! I want house like that
Incredible! I didn’t want the video to end 😢
Always loved this garage design and theme and wondered who the owner was. Finally get to see a tour of it. Thanks LC 🎉
OH wow. I teared up a little when I saw that rx-7. My dad was huge into jdm in the 70s and 80s, and his favorite was a '78 rx-7 that took him many years to complete. I learned to drive manual in that car. What good memories were unlocked from this video.
Thai car collectors go above and beyond. I really enjoy seeing these types of collections. Thank you Larry...
"You can't keep everything you love". Sometimes you just have to let things go. Words to live by for sure.
This is heaven for the automotive enthusiasts purely JDM. Such a big respect for that man dedications catching his dream to reality♥️🤙💯
One of my favourite stories you’ve done. Great job!
I love this type of videos. I drink coffee and watch it 🤩
speechless...... hats off
This is my dream house. It's really cool
The Isuzu Bellett is actually why I watched this video. My father and I had an Isuzu Bellett 4 door rally car we used to compete with… I learned to drive, and compete in that car. It had a fairly hot SOHC GT engine with twin SU carbs. Front disc brake conversion. Also had a Bellett GT 2-door project car that was never finished. Brings back sweet sweet memories.
Crazy that places like this exist wow
What a genuinely nice guy,looks very well balanced and without any arrogance
I dont care what Obi Wan says, the Hut's are pretty cool
Amazing collection and so tastefully done!
Wow what an incredible collection, and house! Mind blowing..🇦🇺🍺🍺
What an awesome garage/man cave just crazy ❤😊 you can see real car passion, great video Larry
What a great collection, Larry thanks for the tour.
Blows me away
Love the Mazda car 🛻
Absolutely amazing...
Impressive Collection!
Beautiful collection.
Incredible car collection and space. The vision to put something like that together so tastefully as well. And a very understanding wife!
Déjà vu ?.. I have seen this Thai shrine recently…, awesome set up!
nice to see Heng's Garage ❤
Incredible
And again…….. a Crazy good video thanks I enjoyed every minute!
Wow, some fantastic cars right there
Mad Respect Hut..🤜🤛🤟🤟
I love how people can make that much stuff look great and made respect for all the OEM parts....also love the idea of diecast cars wish i had models of some of the cars i have had over the years
Blown away that's all I can say about it thanks for the share guys beautiful home and cars!!!!!
Damn, this guy's got it made. Going for the Isuzu Bellett GT Type-R is not a beginner move, it's a conoisseur's choice. Most people don't know about them (I only know from Gran Turismo 4-6!). This is an awesome collection/home.

I’m not much into Japanese cars outside of my own Miata, but I know what an Isuzu Bellett is. Tomica Limited Vintage made one that looks a lot like this guy’s. I’m sure many people know of it through Gran Turismo.
Dayum, that's the Ultimate Gearhead Man Cave.
Absolutely epic 🤯🤯🤯
This is amazing...and it also makes me miss MEGA WEB (the Odaiba museum he mentions) even more. Such an amazing space.
Insane amount of money time and energy to design and build whole property...
That was the most simple, yet most effective, restoration breakdown I’ve ever heard. 😂
So priceless in all aspects of life .
Amazing R33!
OMG, his wife must be a SAINT.
Wow very empresive!
Totally awesome
I've been waiting for someone to feature his garage thank you Larry
Wow. Impressive.
This is crazy and insane!😮 OMG!
This is true passion.
that was truly amazing, thank you so much for making these!!!
Unbelievably amazing!
Larry Chen Did It Again!
Amazing 😳
Amazing 👏 👏👏
That was an absolute pleasure to enjoy! Thank you for sharing
extremely cool, thanks 🙂
Jonny Smith's Late Brake Show car cave episodes and Larry's videos are awesome and show the wife that my car addiction could be a lot worse! Where does Hikki drive these amazing cars though? I ask because Thailand main cities seem so busy and not sure if they have great driving roads or not.
This is another level. Respect
