1970 Time Capsule: Thailand Mansion with Incredible JDM Collection | Capturing Car Culture

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.

    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!!! 😅

    "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.

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.
