    Monika and I headed off on a ride and within two minutes I’d spotted a sight so rare, it’s an almost non existent sight in the UK- an Autobianchi A112 Abarth! This little Italian car was Autobianchi’s answer to the Mini and it really is a special sight to see it on the road as an every day car!
    We then headed off for brunch at Pistacho in Los Cristianos. We highly recommend this spot- great food, very healthy and with a great atmosphere!
    Over a coffee, I chat about an app that I’m a huge fan of- Readly. It allows me to keep reading all of my favourite motorcycle magazines, and magazines in general, while in Tenerife- all from my phone.
    After that, we fire up the Triumph Bonneville and head over to the Playa El Duque beach. This is my favourite beach in Tenerife because of its white sand, turquoise water, very safe and lots of amenities. After that, we ended the day with a beer in Plaza el Duque shopping centre.

    Hello again Freddie and Monica.
    The Autobianchi was really quite a popular car in Tenerife during the 90's. Maybe, if you're lucky, that won't be the only one you see still driving around here.
    Clarify that the sand of Playa del Duque is from the area. It was simply introduced from the interior of the sea towards the beach. The only beach with sand brought from outside (specifically from the Sahara) is Las Teresitas beach (in Santa Cruz).
    Electric car chargers are not yet as common on the island, as gas stations are. But they do exist in most shopping centers, paid parking lots and some for public use.
    The architecture of some of the hotels that you have been able to see in the Duque area is not German, it is Canarian architecture.
    I recommend you try the Dorada Especial (black label), it is much better than the Pilsen.
    Keep enjoying Tenerife.
    All the best.

    Sat with a cup of tea and a mince pie, feet up watching you riding the roads of Tenerife. Great little vlog.
    Loving the music and the filming.
    I had a Ducati Monster, I would not have a Ducati again, I traded it in for a Triumph Speed Triple which I would have again.
    We got out on the T100 today, went to Northleach for Coffee and cake.
    Thanks for sharing your adventures.
    Ride safe.

    Hi Freddie I just watched about 7 of your videos on Tenerife, a place I love so much. Very nice job on your part, you communicate very well , informative and entertaining. Very very well done. I like your enthusiasm for cars and bikes, I do the same , stop at all kinds of spots and just admire different vehicles. That's what happens when your a car and bike guy. Also like your appreciation for architecture in Tenerife, I do that too admire older buildings and wooden balconies etc. I'll be moving there in July, I love Tenerife so much. I also would like to say that Monika does a great job with the camera, very well done and I especially like her taste in music, such beautiful background music . Anyhow I'll keep watching , keep up the good work.

    Hi again Freddie and Monika. Another brilliant vlog which has confirmed our visit to Tenerife next year. Normally we’re not beach fans but without doubt would visit that beautiful one. We’re definitely taking notes on what to visit when we come.
    I’d love to know if you got an answer to your ‘Abarth letter ‘ 😂 loved your enthusiasm and, yes, this time it was immaculate.
    Monika does a brilliant job of camera and editing. The music choice is 100%.

    So Freddie, the Autobianchi A112 was Fiat Group's attempt at designing a 'bettered' Italian Mini, in the process moving from the old rear-engine, air-cooled, RWD design, to front+transverse engine, FWD Mini-esque modern idea, BUT with a tail gate!. This was in 1968-69, when the concept was still frowned upon by some of the management at Fiat. In reality the car proved to be technically excellent, quick, efficient, and with great road-handling: the same engine+systems were in fact adopted in 1971 by the new and revolutionary Fiat 127. The A112 car was a highly successful car which was extremely popular in Italy, as well as in some other selected export markets. In later years the car was badged as a Lancia in export markets. The Abarth-tuned version (which was a strong competitor to Cooper Minis) was very successful in rallyes and competitions. The A112 was a real hoot to drive...soooo much fun!

    Also, I anxiously await the update on the response from the Abarth owner of your rental proposal. Perhaps you’ll simply get a joy ride, which would be wonderful, too!

    Not to be a geek, but I have a strong memory of when El Duke beach was being made, and even up to Torviscas, in the late 80 mid 90s ish, and the sand was dredge from out at sea and pumped on to the shoreline. Fond memory of sifting through the sand to find coral, shells etc.

    Had a 797 Ducati monster, nice bike, air cooled, pretty reliable. The neutral issue at the start was irritating, took about 1200 miles for it to settle in. Unfortunately I wrote it off this summer, van pulled out in front of me. The only bike I like in their line up now is the Supersport 950S. I’d get another one, when VW Audi bought them in 2012 their reliability went up massively. The brand is directly under Lamborghini now, which in turn is owned by VW Audi as well.

    You got the history of Abarth/Fiat/Autobianchi/Lancia wrong.
    But I still like you channel.
    Fiat and Abarth had lot of cooperation before this A 112.
    This car was sold as a Lancia in many parts of the world.
    Abarth and Fiat made cars together since 1949.
    Autobianchi startet in 1955 and had cars based on FIAT technology with the Bianchina and other models.
    The A112 is based on the Fiat 127 technology.
    You bring a big smile on my face with your enthusiastic clips about cars you find special.
    It simply makes my day better.
    Keep up the great spirit.

    I can't get worked up about old Fiats/Seats. When I lived in Tokyo in the early 90s, I subscribed to BIKE and had it posted over. I couldn't wait for it to arrive. The beautiful simplicity of those tassels on that Harley. I wouldn't buy a Ducati. I am on my second KTM, though. I can see why you like this island so much, but when you've finished there, have a look at southwest Portugal.

      Ok sorry to pick you up but that house is known as el duque castle was built by a Duke but bought then rebuilt (and is still owned) by the family that built and own all the Parque Santiago's in las Americas
      The house you refer to as Liz Taylor's is in Los Cristianos but again she never owned that or any other property in Tenerife..👍
      It's just an urban myth.

    The first time in any video from any channel have I actually not only heard of what their promoting but use the said thing myself! I’ve had really for about 2 years now, I used to buy each month T3, Stuff, Empire, Total film. There’s over £20 straight away, then I can read any other mag, like GQ, Ride and several others. So for V me READLY is a must and at £7.99 I’m saving loads!!! I never kept mags anyway and don’t like the clutter and if like me you have an iPad Pro 12.9 then the portrait mode for reading mags is practically life size equivalent.

    I am not brand loyal but there really is something about Ducatis. My Mike Hailwood replica is my garage queen, only taking her out for special events and then there is the 999S….insane power and torque. My Multistrada 950S is the first civilized Ducati I have owned. I use it for long trips and it took getting used to because since…well…I found it quite different than the other Ducs I have owned which were always insane, never civilized. The most expensive service was replacing the belts. But I had mine done at the Duc dealer in Alicante which was about a third of the cost you pay in Northern Europe. Reliability excellent for all my Ducs.

    Ducatis are very original and beautiful bikes, I think that bikes are reliable as long as you get them a proper maintenance, that is due to the desmodromic sistem and the fact that it is triggered by two timing belts. I have had two ducatis, a 2004 multistrada 650 and a 1998 Ducati 748
