Insane! I was watching Smokey in option videos about twenty years ago. Imagine getting the opportunity to meet him and buy one of his cars. Just incredible...
So happy for you! Yokatta desunee... You've surrounded yourself with great people though and I'm happy to see they were able to help you out too! Thanks Albo-san for sharing.
Man... I can't say how much of an Honor it must've been to meet Smoky Nagata. And to see he holds true to honor is awesome, not many people can accomplish such a thing anymore. Honorability is dying and it's sad.
@@itsthemilky something along the lines he wanted to reach 320kmh in uk public roads but only managed to reach 317kmh in his supra. Fastest ever speed on uk public roads. He got arrested(sent to jail for a night ) fined and was banned from the uk for like 10 years
I remember when he came to the US. We all loved the high-speed run and police chasing him. Wish he can visit again, now our borders are open. Wink wink nudge nudge😂
Just to update everyone on this topic(from japonics channel) : Japonic was really into the car. I think the previous owner they mentioned in the video didn't agree or they got a bigger offer I don't know. But Japonic said Smokey saw his messages but didn't reply to them, they called him to find out whats going on. They gave Smokey a date so he can make his mind up and decide to sell or not. Smokey didn't get back. Japonic is professional person when it comes to handling business side of things so he got a little bit offended by being ignored. He said Smokey is a fun and geniune person to hangout but not a great person to do business. Japonic left the car. Watched Albos video now and enjoyed it a lot even though i watched it on japonics days ago. Checked the comments and saw a lot of questions about the deal so wanted to give an update. The price was around 20 million yen including taxes i think.
I am a 16-year-old Taiwanese. I have to say that this should be my favorite overseas RU-vidR I have a very strong interest in Japanese culture, especially JDM .I'm glad I can understand a small part of the English and some of the Japanese.Please keep shooting more interesting videos!❤
man you are legendary for doing this amazing closeup one on one interview with the legend of all time in jdm tuning thank you the mutual respect understanding and smoky, being who he is, the humility so beautifull to watch truly we are blessed to see it
damnnn i just saw the second part and read all about the ghosting on the gentlemans handshake deal wtf its insane didnt realize nagata was that kind of a guy seemed a bit iffy when the price wasnt disucssed openly though to admit but is it simply because of his gentlemans buyback deal where they basically outbought japonic since r35s got stop
Hey Albo is there any way to make some of the subtitles stay on screen a little longer especially when there still time till the next subtitle translation? For example 10:25-10:26, the 30000km related subtitle pops up for a split second. Don't know if you can control this. Keep up the good work!
Dude a car built by the damn wangan highway legend is a SUCH A GEM the fact smokey built it that guy knows his shit and one of the coolest guys watching all those OPTION VIDEOS
i found out about smokey 2 days ago, i was waching his 20 year old videos on my recommendation i can't imagin how badass i would be to meet the legend himself and buy one of his cars. just insane.
I saw this video with full excitement and seconds later turned down when finding out how Smokey treat the deal, jeez some people are not really good at handling business ahaha
Japanese people just have a charm you know..... They are innocent, kind hearted, hard working and genuine people. I also love their accent when they are mixing English words in the Japanese language.
sorry for the late reply but yes I did edit the video I'm one of Albo's best friends and I edit a lot of his videos and you will see me in al ot more of his videos working on a bunch of them as we speak.@@iwebweeb4585
Buy a base stock GTR and and take it to Top Secret to ask Mr Smokey to change it to your spec, if your willing to pay all that money just buy 1 and give it to this man to work his magic
Albo you legend Talking with a legend You asked him a question very debatable on RU-vid whether he ran with the Midnight club and got the answer documented Legend
@@BartezCS my english is not so good but i'll try. The lawyer started a appointment at the court and told the judges that i need per direct my drivinglicense for my work, if i not get it will sue a lot of financial problems and mental issues 😂and got my licenses back in 2 days with the envelope at home
Smoky fucking Nagata! Are shittin' me? I used to download this guy's videos from kazaa in 1998 and bring the burned copies to school and show everyone smoky nagatas to secret Supra with rb26. I didn't know how serious this shit would actually be in the future! I'm so glad I was a part of it as a young lad I was only 10 fucking years old. This video is legendary
