17 Years - Alexi is OLD

Seeing Alexi with a smile on his face looking back on these old memories was the best part.

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.....

The adventures of John Lennon and Quentin Tarantino! Love these nostalgic videos, man 2007 feels like a lifetime ago sometimes

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

cool to see how calm drifting was back in 07 compared to how agressive its today

@@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.

This demonstrates the beauty of being able to record memories such as this so you can re-watch them in years to come

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.

"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.

Imagine a 2023 road trip with the same people, just to compare the times and for nostalgias sake.

I still have my map books as a back up. That thing never failed me

The "what does the Russia stand for" bit killed me instantly

that shot the next morning they woke up... I could feel that wind in my bones

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.

14:06 3 Australian men blaring Australian crawl in a car with Australian website decals is the best form of patriotism

Super rare to find another Jos, this made my day!

really enjoyed this style of storytelling while watching an old video. almost like the bonus features on an old movie dvd with director commentary

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

This is cool. A look back in time. My teenage years wer spent watching hpi DVDs and d1 gp. The best era back then

This road trip had the best sound track.

absolutely phenomenal video. god i miss magazine era.

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.😂

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

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

That zenki and model 6's hit so goooood

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.

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 😄

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.

The guys listening to the RHCP the whole way through the doomed snowstorm was my favorite 😂

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

man what a blast from the past, i need more of this :D

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

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.

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. :/

Aweseome video, something about that old timey feel with the old camera quality and the fact that everything was done without phones just hits

so glad you finally got this footage and got to uploading it. bestttttt x

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!

love the old john lennon 2007 japan footage, I remember seeing him live, old times

absolutely loved this video! haha so cool to see the early days.

absolutely loving the retro content

24:48 haha so silly. loved the video noriyaro, this was gold !!

This was class hopefully you have some more to share

love these throwback vids

this is the best content everrrr !!! its history man !! its pre youtube!.. legendary!!

Lawrences thread on jdmst about his yellow s14 was hands down one of the best

alexi watching himself riding a scooter and smiling is wholesome

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 KZread channel with some additional footage.

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. ❤

I love this older content, I became addicted to automotive stuff including drifting around 2003 and seeing this from you is nostalgia, I grew up in USA and seeing this is amazing, I have so many VHS and DVDs around this time❤️

These old videos are great keep em coming!

Lately i was browsing my hdd for some old info and found some of your pictures that were stored from around 2005-2006. At that time i had no idea who Nori Yaro is. Damn i can't believe time passes by so fast. I appreciate you documented the best era of motorsports with most iconic cars. And still doing it. Thank you. Good luck.

this is a highlight of my weekend
