Hello globetrotters, well done another very good moment of shared pleasure and a great mastery of the vehicle by his driver who must have had somewhat sweaty hands...🚘↘⬇↙

That was so great. The food. The narrow streets! Seems so peaceful. The AMI so tiny! Thanks.

If you guys ever tour Switzerland/Germany/Austria - you have the e-Rocks made by Opel. Same car, identical specs, just rebranded for the German market. Touring the Alpine roads there and charming picturesque small towns would make life interesting!

HOME RUN GUYS! You must have the most overlooked Vlog on the web. Really delightful and what more could you ask for? A magical destination, epic food in a delightfully hospitable locale, an unusual and fun buggy and comic relief to boot. After 30 mins I wished it was longer. Mixing views up with the new camera angles was a nice addition. I was also wondering about a pole and 360 camera as in the last installment mounted to Elton's rear end might make for some dramatic views. As you were touring Saint Jeannet, It occurred to me how fun and beneficial it could be for you and Citroen if Citroen had a spot on the AMI website to share your love affair with the AMI But alas, when I searched for what I expected to be Citroen's cute and artsy AMI homepage, I instead found some pretentious display of digital boilerplate that could have just as well been selling industrial cleaning supplies. I'll drop Citroen a message with some links and a suggest they consider you as their AMI lifestyle ambassadors. Thanks again for the delightful time. Cheers!

Thanks Jack. Much appreciated. We have plans for the 360 but like most of our plans they don’t often survive the first encounter with reality! But we shall keep trying!
A really quaint and picturesque village its my idea of what a French village should be.Beautiful 5 stars*

Oh the memories! We hired a small car at Nice Airport. However the hire company kindly upgraded us to a much larger hatchback, a Renault Laguna . Very nice we thought until we decided to visit St Jeane . Nightmare we will never forget as we came face to face with traffic in the opposite direction on those narrow streets . 🥴

At about 24:24, I think he was looking for the word spelunking. It means exploring caves. Not pot holing, which is I guess exploring pot holes.

Guys, I have a suggestion. Before I left Madrid I was offered a Renault Twizy for just under 5k. I should have bought it. The Twizy was of course made in Spain and they have now also being cloned elsewhere. Why don't ye go and get one - and keep the Ami. Here in Ireland I was quoted 12k for it - too pricey. But down the continent you will do better.

That would be tough for them to so because the video is sped up during the music. And we really don't hear much anyway when they are silent for a bit. I used to say the same thing about eScooter ride videos. But the motors got so quiet you really couldn't hear them in the video anyway.
