Mid Night Club Still Exists: Exclusive Look Inside Auto Garage TBK

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This one has been a long time coming. Auto Garage TBK is a famous name in the history of the Mid Night club, legendary even, and I was just waiting for the right moment to head down to their shop in Yokohama to indulge in their history.
I take a look at the shop, the history, the memorabilia and talk to Takahashi-san about what being a member of the Mid Night club was all about and how the design of his unmistakable front bumpers came to be. The best part was taking a close look at his 930 Turbo demo car slash wangan warrior, as well as a special 964 that has just been completed.

    Perfect example of the Japanese people is when you stand in the middle of the road to film an intro and the driver just stops and waits for you. No horn honking,no revving,no finger flying,no yelling,just sitting patiently. I love Japan

    I have two guesses: 1) Fella knew who Dino was (nearly 100K subs, OG in the scene, known associate of Larry Chen - not that implausible) 2) Fella had no idea WTF was going on and was too confused to be mad. Not every day you get people filming pieces to camera in the middle of the street lol

    What’s truly amazing isn't the top speed, but the soul in every picture from back then. I’m indifferent to Bugatti, but the stories of the Mid Night club, the tuner shops, and their craftsmanship are captivating. That unique "black magic" is gone now; those guys were like explorers, while today everything is about efficiency.

    Auto Garage TBK and Mid Night Club is responsible for a majority of the love people have for JDM cars/culture. There's so much soul and character that can't be replicated anymore. That just adds more to their legendary status. To this day, anything that has their names in it that comes up, I'll watch/read it all. Thanks for the video, Dino!

(I'm in Canada BTW) Also thanks Dino for showing us in great details the more closed knit JDM Car culture aspects

    I like long race/drive because my parents love to travel. The longest drive that I've experienced is about 12 hours. As I grew up I watch endurance race. From Daytona to Le Mans. At the same time I wonder, can a sport cars maintaining maximum top speed for extended period of time? And I introduced to Midnight Club. I never wanted to own a 911 or a R32 so bad ever in my life. They really spark my interest on cars even more and I'm still that kid till this day.

Also love seeing shops like this in neighborhoods with residential above. It’s my dream to have a place like this. Reminds me of going to Yokohama to visit Obata San of Refresh60 and scouring the neighborhood to find him. Remember him seeing me and stop working and put out chairs and drinks and talk about car culture in Japan and states. Remember the second visit he saw me and said Ha took the train again. Miss those interactions

    I remember years ago there were lots of videos about Mid Night popping up and I had a bit of an (unhealthy) obsession remaking every car I could find on my games as accurately and as detailed as possible. Even some of the ones shown in here like the Samstag Abend RX7 or the pink R33, to more obscure ones I’ve seen like a 5 series BMW, Advan NSX, and I believe there was a Pontiac Trans Am as well. I just love seeing people put so much time and effort into every aspect of something they like; such as cars in this case. If I somehow ever get a 1990 Porsche Carrera 4 or a new 992 GT3 Touring; I will 100% be trying to contact these guys for a kit or tune, or my own homage of some sort. Edit: My personal favorite is the Z32 at 11:14 or the light blue Porsche 911 shown at 11:39 (that exact picture was my Lock Screen background for years until I changed it).
