    Its so weird seeing content like the great monologue explaining everyone’s love for cars and seeing Brooklands. Only 10 miles from me with so much history and really hits home and really touches you when it’s that close to you, that it’s recognised all over the world
    Same vibe as Clarksons speech

    It is so depressing seeing those cars sitting there abandoned. I looked up why their abandoned recently and after learning there's no real way for them to find them a new home just put me in a new level of depression. Love the vids.

      have you ever seen the abandoned cars of U.A.E. . . like on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi.
      I have heard It is because unlike places like America or Canada, If you have debt and it is not paid , is an actual , "Criminal" offense.
      Its because places like the United Arab Emirates have some type of , "sharia" law for their residents.
      So instead of facing , "real" criminal charges and going to jail, the residents will just dump the car then flee from the country. . .pretty crazy

      @@christerlarsson5232 And Japan does not want old cars on the road. It wants people constantly giving money to the car companies as a holdover for rebuilding after the war. There is a way to retitle these cars 'easily' but time consuming and costly - export the car to the US as parts and then title in the US (Vermont or Florida being the easiest) and once you get a US title, then return the car to Japan and convert the US title over to JPN registration. I'm looking to see about converting to EV and if this makes a difference. Likely not.

    These kind of videos are why I started watching your channel! You bring me back 25 to 30 years when you show the cars that were there when I was there. I truly loved my time in Japan as well as the cars and I had quite a few. From Skylines to Sylvia's to Supras and MR2's and the tracks we used to drift with those cars, nothing moves a person's soul like having a great car and the open road to tear up! It's at that moment that you are enjoying the thrill of the drive. And yes that is what connect's us to a particular cor because they hold those memories that transformed into the best time in our lives!
    I Really enjoyed this video and the monologue was a great touch too!
    So there for Samit I challenge you to remember that next race and you will find yourself heading to that podium sooner than you think!
    Keep up the good work and great content!

    The sun was setting over the mountain pass, giving a pink hue to the snow-capped peaks. Sammit and Tom had been driving for hours, their Nissan GT-R drifting on the curves and winding roads. They had heard rumors of forgotten drift cars, abandoned in the mountains, and had decided to try their luck.
    As they rounded the final corner of the pass, they were greeted with a breathtaking sight. Hundreds of drift cars, in varying conditions, lined the mountainside. Most were old and rusted, but a few remained in pristine condition. Rebecca and Tom couldn't believe their eyes.
    They walked around the cars, marveling at the different models and years. Each one had a unique story to tell, and it was clear why they had been abandoned. They explored for hours, taking pictures and imagining the stories behind the cars.
    Finally, they made their way back to the Nissan GT-R. They had found some old parts and tires, and they had even managed to find a few parts for their own cars. It had been a successful trip, and they were both excited to get back home and start working on their cars.
    As they drove away, they left behind the forgotten drift cars of the mountain pass, their stories lost to time.

    My CR-X came from Aomori City (about an hour from Misawa) and I was very interested to know that despite them getting winter in the area that it's fairly dry up there. May be why there was so little rust on her when she arrived in Canada in 2005.

I've grown up playing Gran Turismo with the cars that were the best in the game, to now owning and daily driving those cars in real life today. I am after one more unicorn and after I obtain it, I will lie to myself and try to convince myself that my collection is complete......which is a blatant falsehood.

    My old drift track 🥲. I was in Misawa from 2014-2016 and recognize quite a few of these cars. The silver 180 with the shredded tire, the mr2, the white s14 on modenas, the white miata, and the yellow sil80 were abandoned even back when I was there. I also remember that white trueno coupe ripping it on the weekends, looks like it might’ve been abandoned since then too.
