Hyundai Heritage | STELLAR Vehicle Restoration
-------------------------------------------------------------
Since my feed is now flooded with car restoration videos from China, this seems like a good time for car manufacturers to showcase their own car restoration videos. --h0ngcom.
My maternal grandfather, a legendary teacher, used to own a Nissan Stanza T11 sedan. (From this sentence, some people probably already know who he is.)
I think it would be nice to restore it someday, because it is very rare, I don't see the sedan version on the Thai roads anymore. The 5-door hatchback T11 is very rare too.
I'm not sure which companies/shops/garages in Thailand offer restoration services for old cars. (1980s cars maybe not classic enough to call classic cars, so I said "old cars". However, many of them are rare cars right now.)
Companies/shops/garages in northern or lower northern Thailand would be better for me, as they are much closer to me than Bangkok.
My paternal grandfather can't drive a car, so he didn't buy one. He used his motorcycle.

Why it is okay to archive Unus Annus.
13 Nov 2020 video.
Yes, the channel MLGaeming https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChadAfPXAdbW7VkZzHTl8dA is the creator of hobune.stream.
https://findyoutubevideo.thetechrobo.ca/ (YouTube Video Finder) listed hobune.stream, PreserveTube and nyane.online as YouTube archivers.
https://findyoutubevideo.thetechrobo.ca/ (YouTube Video Finder) listed hobune.stream, PreserveTube and nyane.online as YouTube archivers.
h0ngcom see the video pages in them are (as of 25 Feb 2026) archivable with web.archive.org
https://web.archive.org/web/20260225192945/https://preservetube.com/watch?v=ezieXiUgcME

https://web.archive.org/web/20260225175346/https://nyane.online/video?id=iycuhLXBkQU
so h0ngcom having some ideas...
If h0ngcom can afford a large webhosting and can do a large website like them, store videos and their infos, then put the URLs to web.archive.org...
I found that horse is hobune in Eesti (Estonian)
So h0ngcom look at the h0ngcom name
หงส์ (hong) is swan, and in Eesti it is luik
ห้อง (hong) is room, and in Eesti it is tuba

หงส์ (hong) is swan, and in Eesti it is luik
ห้อง (hong) is room, and in Eesti it is tuba
ห้องคอม (hongcom) is computer room, and in Eesti "arvutiruum" or "arvuti tuba"
Why arvuti sounds like อาวุธ (ar-woot)?
It’s a fascinating linguistic coincidence! While they sound remarkably similar, they come from two completely different worlds.
The Breakdown
| Word | Language | Meaning | Etymology |
| Arvuti | Estonian | Computer | Derived from arvama (to think/reckon) and arv (number). |
| อาวุธ | Thai | Weapon | Derived from the Sanskrit/Pali word āyudha. |
A Fun "False Friend"
In linguistics, these are often called false cognates—words that sound the same but have zero historical connection.
Arvuti and คณิตกรณ์ (kanittagorn) words share a very similar "spirit" in how they were created, even though they come from different language families.
คณิตกรณ์ is a formal, constructed Thai word.
The kanittagorn word can't replace the คอมพิวเตอร์ (same word as "computer", just spelling in Thai) at all because kanittagorn sounds very outdated and also too formal.
In the past, other words were used, such as สมองกล (brain machine / machine brain), เครื่องคำนวณ (machine for calculating), etc were used, but these were not popular too.
(The term brain machine (or machine brain) is also seems to be just a nickname that Thai people in the past gave to computers.)
So there is no Thai word to replace the "computer" foreign loanword.
Arvuti was intentionally "invented" to replace the foreign loanword.
Comparison of Word Construction
Both words are neologisms—words created specifically to describe new technology by combining roots related to "calculation" and "tools."
| Feature | คณิตกรณ์ (Thai) | Arvuti (Estonian) |
| Root 1 | คณิต (Mathematics/Computation) | Arv (Number) |
| Root 2/Suffix | กรณ์ (Tool/Device/Instrument) | -ti (A suffix denoting a tool/agent) |
| Literal Meaning | "The instrument of mathematics." | "The thing that numbers/reckons." |
