We are driving the 32 year old Toyota Corolla CSI Seca from Adelaide to Portland in Victoria! The goal is to collect a large lot of free vintage computers and tech. The question is, will we make it? What will go wrong? Join me on my quest across (part) of Australia! #EcoFlowAustralia #ecoflow #boxingday

A big thanks to EcoFlow for making today's video possible! I had so much fun making it, I hope you enjoy :)

Man that car is a work horse, you should really keep it and restore it as much as you can when possible. Cars well built to last like that no longer exist. Modern cars are bottom of the barrel materials, plastics and engines designed to last less than 10 years. Greetings from Mexico

Nathan, thanks for saving all my computers, it's given with pleasure and they don't go in to a landfill. The youngest is the AMD 4000+ with Windows XP 64bit, I think, it's 11 years ago that I was there. Have a lot of fun with them and the Compaq's were all working when I left in 2013. Thanks for showing the link to our workgroup, we only use GNU-Linux and we help every one that wants to learn it. 👍

Whenever an Australian man takes a long road trip my first instinct is to scream "EIGHT HOUR DRIVE WE GOTTA GO TO BENDIGO"

A Chinese meal? A succulent Chinese meal?

I like this channel, the dude rolls like a normal person. Most of these YouTubers must have 300K budgets...

[dylanlindsay]

just a thought but maybe the corolla was only 600$ because it had that overheating problem but the old owner didnt know what was causing it! im glad you fixed it for 0$

[dreadlock]

This liftback gen corolla is timeless. What a great piece of automotive history

[otter-pro]

Those compaq lunchbox portables are rare and extremely valuable. Definitely worth the trouble of going on a road trip to get them.

Got the succulent chinese meal reference in there, perfect

When I got my 1st job in IT (intern in May 1989), I used one of those Compaq portable computers. Although it had a monochrome display, it had a better CPU than the desktop computers used by the full time employees. Brings back great memories using Lotus 123 on them. The expansion module on the back of it was for connecting to the mainfame.

If someone had asked me "Do you want to watch a video of a nerdy guy taking a road trip to pick up eWaste", my answer would have been "No", and I would have missed out on a great video - thank you.

Hello mate we need more of this kind of content
It is so well shoot and presented
I know it is time consuming but please kindly upload more of this road trip stuff whenever you have the chance

[SteveMaves]

I enjoyed your video. I have a Compaq Portable III, mine didn't work either but I got it back working with some advice from the Vintage Computer Federation Forums and other advice from folks who have posted on the Internet about their repairs.

[DragonManMike]

Dude this really makes me want to road trip through Australia. You area looks beautiful.

[BurntMike]

I loved every single second of this Psi, thank you so much. Australia is a beautiful country and I hope to visit someday!

[maryking]

i was freaked out, when he drove on the left side of the road. then i remembered, that you have to turn the video upside down, because it's austria. instantly calm again.
