[@vallevaan]

[@SLVRphoto]

[@Doggepp]

An Australian drifting a minivan on snow in Japan. Now I've seen it all

[@jds_ninetwelve]

is your clutch okay?! "it's fucked" HAHAHA

[@maMunThePRO]

Nothing beats Alexi's laugh when he's genuinely having a blast. Keep it up man your content is still the best

[@davemorgan3078]

Quietest drifting ever

[@burnoutbruce925]

Wearhouse is pretty quiet too

[@brothelsprouts]

"Is your clutch OK?" "It's f#cked" That one got to me hahahaha

[@lilkurat83]

[@ptcarino]

4:20 deja vu i've never driven this van like this before higher on the street

[@lilbaba2456]

Pat Cariño you should get gold

[@VoidSixx]

Good try but the 2nd line is 2 syllables too long.

[@skarr0w765]

420 😂

[@BorisBeer24]

Good God I love Japan so much

[@turbo_alice]

seemed to be so fun there. watching it from France, near ocean where there's never snow, so i cant experience snow driving/drifting, but watching you doing so is fine, since it wont crash my car. i learned some cool skills by watching you, like recovering the balance using the steering wheel (4:08) or reversing to keep moving and not get stuck (6:40). thanks for sharing your drift session with us all around the world

[@aureli3121]

Its just so nice and soft seeing you drive this car. Its relaxing as hell.

[@hatchetairsoft2463]

I'm a paramedic and we had the biggest version of the Ford Transit as emergency car, one day when we were driving back to station from hospital it was really snowy so my colleague decided to show his drifting skill with the 3,5 emergency car. We drifted by a bus station full with kids waiting for their school bus. I wabed to them while we went by sideways. The looks on the faces were priceless.

Two episodes this week! I am a very happy person. Thanks!

[@doughboi007]

Best part of my day is when I get to see Nori videos!

[@viralpenguin]

Noriyaro upload = drop everything

[@codemy666]

*Being bored on youtube* *notification appears "Noriyaro has uplodaded"* *Instantly drops everything and comes here and likes the video*

[@corvuslaeus9540]

It's a great afternoon when you get a surprise Noriyaro upload. Looked like lots of fun

[@christianaugustin7047]

The way you captioned the Gemini video was very unique and funny. I think it's one of the best videos on your channel. You should do more like that one, not that what you're doing right now is bad.

[@shadowdyl]

Three words you never hear when in a van, in the snow, at night. "Tip it in". So good.

[@Banamabolt]

Your videos make my day feel like Christmas again 😆

[@ArtofRanael]

YAAAY! Alexi with the town van drift!

[@Kittensandpuppies123]

You are pleasing us with your upload schedule lately noriyaro Thank you!!

[@timothyperry-mills4207]

I love how everyone is so into the drift van.

[@WrongfullyEngineered]

Good, fun video! glad you got to enjoy some snow with the Townace on the track!

[@69pvTuning]

Respect for noting Finland in so many of your videos! Perkele! Haha

[@huckhuckhuck]

Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels.

[@lawlypooper]

Any day where Noriyaro uploads is a good day.

[@gimmedatcookie48]

So close to 200k! Awesome videos, great content and production. :)

[@modwlego]

Canadian national sport ))) For the future, I find you always want to floor it in a drift when dealing with snow.

[@AbsoluteEmperor]

Had a very shitty day at work. Seeing this video in my notifications made my day it alot better. Thanks man!

[@ramdalion]

Swede here, snow drifting with weld-locked diff on a BWD car is so much fun! :D nice to see you getting to expeience it Alexi! ^^

[@turbokai6262]

Snow is so peaceful and smooth... so much fun to see this...

[@nate49509]

Snow drifting and not a Subaru in sight? whaaaaa?

loving the different intonations of "yes" at 8:35 "yes! " "yes" "yes? " yess!"

[@Heartsprovide]

Aw, since it is in the snow I hoped we'd get to see Shino again. Ebisu is the greatest place on earth, honestly.

[@Tomyp89]

I had a blast a few years back in winter. Every corner sliding and some nice full lock drifts on big parking lots. Good winter tires and vlsd made all the difference. Good times :)

[@defour6475]

that van is so cute what all those stickers and dolls and stuff. Loving it

[@oniminus]

Great to see you watching SFT! They are a fun bunch of hooligans :D

[@HuntersMoon]

Just took my rx7 fc3s drift build out to test in the snow here in Canada! Excited for it to all melt, first track day is tomorrow!

[@genericasian5699]

I'm new and didn't realize this was a car channel. Now I love it like a hundred times more.

[@Mr44nico44]

Damn, you're close to 200K, Congratulations!

[@HTIOGranka]

I'm sort of starting to miss the snow now, the snow has almost fully melted here in Sweden. I have spent this winter snow drifting in an 88 Ford Sierra that I bought to snow drift with. It was my first time driving a RWD-car during winter, how scary it was in the beginning (especially since the rear is super light and easily loses traction) but after a few months I had so much more control and could hold really wide drifts in corners and such. Too bad though that I barely filmed any of it.

[@Iucien]

Wish we had this sorta thing where I live. Only snow drifting I got to do was in parking lots with cones this winter. Tons of fun

[@ET_Videos]

And that is the only time you should weld a diff ;-)

[@noriyaro]

This is the right answer...

[@SilentRazor1uk]

...you have a spare/replacement diff on order for more usual driving usage Alexi ?

[@tevitaphillips3196]

nahh she'll be right, send it daily

[@TheKingie07]

Hilarious, very amusing video thanks really enjoyed that Alexi. Props from NZ.

[@Olysk8er]

So glad I have a torsen diff and snow tires for my Miata. You couldn't hope to pull me out of the car if/when it snows here.

[@garymapes6955]

Love your videos I always look forward to your content keep up the great work

[@cl0ud88]

I have no real interest in cars or drifting but your videos are so entertaining that i subscribed anyway. keep up the good work.

[@Disleik]

I so enjoy watching your Videos... That place seems to be a paradise for drifting. loveit!!

[@gnarshread]

I wish more people would do this kind of stuff. It would make for much better drivers on the road

[@ALBO]

Hey Alexi, what camera did you film this with?

[@niborismm]

ALBO this man ignored albo

[@NiSE_Rafter]

Lol that phone conversation about being stuck was so randomly cute

[@TheBobes]

Skyline Engine + Townace = King of Vans

[@aarongradyable]

Thank you for another awesome video !

[@OllamhDrab]

I would love to have my old Plymouth Duster on that course. Great balance for snow-drifting, and 70's power steering. You could just push your palm to the wheel and go lock to lock with a wax-on-wax-off motion. :)

[@chrisdooley6468]

I absolutely love your vids on the snow

[@shattered831]

Looks pretty fun, reminds me of sliding my old GMC sierra pickup around after a fresh snow lol.

[@patinaautosalon]

Says calmly "don't roll it" love that

[@Snakeplisskin440]

The old Top Gear Trio ended some time ago. The Grand Tour ended it's season. I watched all the Mighty Car Mods. I watched all of Project Binky episodes, I was beginning to think that call hope was lost for any source of proper entertainment for myself. Then I found your channel. I've got a lot of watching ahead of me.

[@d_k_n]

Wow, that S15 was hauling ass.

[@elonol2549]

congrats on 200k subs Alexi!!

[@Joelontugs]

The people in the background are my favorite everytime he goes to start filming people jump around behind him lmao

[@DwNecrid]

Now we need Highace tandems!

[@mmorzan]

I kinda like that Town Ace. It's cool to see vehicle of that type to be rwd, here in Europe most of them are fwd 1,6l diesel sadness on wheels.

[@TheMrFishnDucks]

Nice vlog. Keep up the good work.

[@MitchC-vr8nw]

Free horsepower! Alexi, I'm mega jealous of your Japanese speaking prowess. I need to learn it already!!

[@TheForzadrifter]

This is my kind of video. Big thumbs up!

[@MightbeAmechanic]

You have so much fun love your channel mate 😁

[@glenwong6195]

Seeing this van making doughnut is one greatful sight

[@JiriMachovec]

Kinda reminds me of drifting my FWD Renault Scenic wintercar in the snow, it was fun :D

[@nickknee3515]

HAHA. That grader plowing the snow made me laugh. I run a John Deere 670 plowing snow and it's three times the size of that little dinky toy grader. And FYI to correct under steer in snow, just floor it and bring the back end around, or just get a Subaru like me and have some real fun. AWD BABY!!!!!!!

[@MrDBassett]

thank you alexi!

[@ayeapprove]

An Eunos Roadster would've been perfect for this Noriyaro!

[@Blkwltz19]

Reminds me of when I took my 4dr suzuki sidekick out in the snow in 2wd, actually a decent amount of fun =D

[@MattShim]

Great video Alex more please!

[@Shryan9]

late night uploads love them (Y)

[@japisgarage]

StuntFreaksTeam - Finland!! :)

[@BrunoVentura22]

I missed some outside footage, like a cam on the door or something like that. Great video though!

[@MagnusMovies]

looks so fun!!! love the winter from a norwegian guy :D

[@kvnhnf]

I Love this Channel so much! keep the good work :)

[@trippydrifter4674]

I loved seeing this I don't see many vans drifting.

[@ambushdrift]

ALMOST AT 200k 👏🏽

[@yoshic_22]

The that laugh coming out of a van at night 😂

[@jnieto490]

that jimney video was awesome

[@konohahokage4745]

Sorry, im a little late but congratulations on 200k subs🎉 and keep up the great work 👍

[@MrBasseDK]

still Awesome Videos! keep it up man... will wait till the next one ;)

[@Ramash440]

Ah yes, snowy days make for the best track days : 5% drifting, 95% towing. At least it's better than a muddy track.

[@tdnoz]

Now This looks like so much fun!

[@bradleygerrish5709]

better than tj hunt

[@Wachenroder326]

Bradley Gerrish anything is better than him

[@UNOwen-nn6ui]

+Swiss .326 true dat:D

[@MitchC-vr8nw]

Alexi Smith > all automotive vloggers

[@wuzihuzi]

Bradley Gerrish not hard at all

[@DJDiggityDubstep]

Please don't mention him.

[@stefanyes4989]

Finland is great here you can drift every time of year with low powered cars because of the shit weather :D

[@ClawPhD]

this looks like so much fun!

[@vittufhat]

You did well! Greetings from Finland =D

[@TheKingduffy138]

SUOMI MAINITTU JÄLLEEN!!!

[@The_JDM_Dynasty]

"Is your clutch okay?" "It's fucked!" Hahah! Congratulations for later, you are about to hit 200k!

[@W4RH4WK117]

Hey Noriyaro! I really love your videos. I'd really like to see a Q&A style video if you haven't done already? are there any plans for one :)

[@ALBO]

Jammo watch my Q&A vid! Anime vs reality vid on my channel

[@DarkKostas]

Been waiting for this video since your post on instagram. Looked fun. Definitely need better tires

[@wolfhoender]

Awesome like all your vids Alexi

[@alexberriman4302]

hey Alexi i was scouring the Japanese auctions from Australia looking for a clean s15 when i saw that s15 converted to an old looking coach car. when i saw this i remembered where i have seen it before and believe its from one of your vids not 100% sure tho. i also have a screen shot of the auction website if you want to check if it it the same one from your vids. sweet drifting in the van total fanboy!!!

[@alexberriman4302]

i found the vid (Drift in tokyo! huge drift car meet at Odaiba by drift Tengoku) and you called, it a please correct me if i'm wrong a "mitsauka lecade" based on an s15. But that one in your vid is gold the one i found was white so if its a popular conversion it might be another car, or is might be resprayed

[@mattis117]

awesome. snow drifting is very popular in Norway :D

[@Loafy23]

+Noriyaro, did you have more fun on the track or in the parking lot afterwards? :D Keep making videos, dude! You give us all a look inside greater Japanese culture and a close up with the Japanese car and drift scene. Thank you!
