- Foreigners buy an auto rickshaw whilst doing India travel 2023. We must be crazy right? Well this video explains how we did it:
is it safe, is it legal and how much it cost? We hope you enjoy our adventures through Incredible India
We bought our tuk tuk (other name for an auto) in the Indian city of Chennai (formerly Madras), and we plan to travel across India in it - on our own self guided tour #India #RickshawLife

OUR HISTORY
We have been travelling for the last two years back in the UK in a converted camper van conversion. But during winter, when we had snow & ice, our campervan broke down and needed a new engine (and other parts). It was devastating news, so we decided we needed a break and that's when we left Britain and headed to India for the adventure of a lifetime.

In case you missed it, here's the video on how we ended up in India 🇮🇳 th-cam.com/video/-RQecinIGA0/w-d-xo.html
❤Such commitment to be posting at 3.00am!!! X
@@janinesawyer5746 haha 😄 different ball game
I mist Christmas still ill, but wouldn't miss you two. I'm on antibiotics, so no worries. You to go get um. Can't wait to see this adventure unfold. Stay safe 😘😘😘
You have now upped the game with this adventure gits! Just can't get enough of you two, stay safe on those roads, and don't give way too much, it will confuse them... as I once found out in Greece.... 😉😂
I think in this video you said you went to a corner shop etc to get a local sim card. Can you tell me which one. Am I right that it was in Chennai. I have been trying to research this very issue as I want to access Google maps on my bike. Because I need to know where am I going and if there are roads. There is no mapping on my Garmin 810 for India available. In fact there is no mapping on Garmin for any device, so Garmin told me the other day.
Those young boys running alongside you made me smile out loud. What a wonderful country and a lovely thing to do. Have fun 😉
Kids like that are the essence of this country, happy and full of life 🤩💚🌼
That one competitive guy, pushing the other one out of the way! 😂❤
Such a heart warming episode. Started tearing up at the boys running alongside you. Utter joy and pure life!
❤️🛺
@@ThoseHappyDays hiiii
Hi Guys.. Welcome to India. I am from southern part of India and currently I lives in UK. Its really really happy to see you people enjoying my country. Have fun guys ❤
Thank you 👍
India are unique exclusive massive &Incredible🇮🇳💕💕
Hi Guys brilliant episode as usual. I travelled round Chennai and Tamil Nadu back in 2015. I can highly recommend Auraville and Mount Atunchsla In Tiruvanamali there are amazing Ashrams, temples and animal sanctuary’s there and the Tamil people are amazingly friendly. Enjoy and much love. Namaste ❤
Bro, you don't know about real Tamil people. They support Ltte terrorist ( Tamil terrorists organization) Ltte kill former Prime minister of India Rajiv Gandhi in sucide bomber. They in Sri Lanka butcher sri Lanka people and rape their women. They want to capture Sri Lanka for their so called Tamil country. In tami nadhu people is sympetzer of LTTE terrorist.
Ah amazing, will see if we can get to them 🤩
Great work on the paint from them. I think Tuk Tuk may be a name in SouthEast Asia and it is always known as Auto or AutoRickshaw here. But people can quickly associate the name with Auto, but better to refer it as Auto in rural :) Enjoy the ride and have fun.
Grandad’ll be proud of how you spent his inheritance!! I have travelled for most of my life, spent a year in Egypt and Lebanon (during the war there I might add) when I was only 21, drove all over Europe including a road trip to Turkey, lived in Zug in Switzerland for six months, went to Australia via Philippine Airlines which took over 40 hours and had 7 stops on the way, and here I am 67 years old now and living in the US. It’s been an amazing ride! But I always dreamed of going to India. I love the culture, I DEARLY love the food, hehehe, I love the music and history of the region. And now, I get to see it through the travels of my favorite TH-camrs. I’m so excited, I’ll find myself a spot in the tuk tuk and you won’t notice I’m there 😂😂 Ok that sounds a bit creepy, so I’ll just wish you both an amazing journey and I will be waiting for your videos every week! Be safe, take care 💕
Oh and pro tip for Janine. You won’t need a hot water bottle there 😂😂 Happy New Year to you both. Let’s get this trip staaaarrrted!
Amazing comment thank you Karen 🌼🛺🇮🇳 much love
Were you fleeing from justice?
Love ❤ from INDIA 🇮🇳.
@@arthurakingking9179 lol, no. Just loved to travel. But….I think I might tell people that from now on 🤔 it’ll make me sound more interesting 🤨
When I saw those colors,I immediately thought of my own 60’s life. Then to have Liam acknowledge that was wonderful! The Tuk- Tuk is beautiful! I can’t wait for the journey…thank you
Yes, Please, Let's Adventure around India! What a start to the New Year 🗺🌟
Also, I Love the Vibe of the Tuk-tuk 🏵
🛺❤️🇮🇳
Good on you Liam. Big respect that you are prepared to stick your neck out for some unforgettable memories.
🙏💚
Yea. Another channel already did it. This makes my day! Safe travels and Happy new year!
Wow so glad I found this channel, you two are brilliant. My and girlfriend use to go India on holidays for about 5 years running, being a passenger in tuc tuc was bad enough i wouldn't be brave enough to drive on them roads. Then had our little boy and not been back for 10 years now. Hopefully we'll get back there one day 🙏🏻
Awesome! Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
Guys, this is totally crazy, amazing! Can't wait to follow along!
What a great enthusiastic couple you two are! Great videos and really living life to the full, as it should be lived. We only get one chance and you’re certainly making the most of it, so well done to you. I travelled alot in India myself over the course of just over a year - a crazy place and probably the most vibrant place I’ve ever been. If you haven’t been to India, you haven’t lived, and you’re certainly living. Enjoy the time and keep up the fab work with the vids 🎉
Cant wait to see more of this adventure. Love the paint job!
We hired a Enfield motorcycle in Rajahstan , India . . got the International driving licence from the Post Office before we left , but the insurance seemed a bit sketchy , the guys in the bike hire place said they had it covered . Also said don't go out of Rajahstan State , the bike did not have permit for that . . . . . . . . and then "the roads" , nothing can prepare you for Indian roads , everything will come from everywhere all the time , including cows . What is biggest has right of way and never , ever , drive in countryside after dark . . . . .😃 . . . .one thing though , if that tuk tuk break down always some guy around who can fix it . Good luck , if you can handle this you will have amazing time .
Yeah it's a bit of a grey area we think, but you are right about the roads haha, crazy!
@@ThoseHappyDays Seriously , good luck with this . I been following you since well before Morgan . Its going to be very interesting following you now . . . . .btw i reckon its 4am with you , having an early start ?
Beautiful adventures, getting more so, sooo exciting.
COOL Micro yellow submarine goes HAPPY WISE!
Love the design ❤ gosh this looks like a whole lot of fun and trouble all at once - my kind of adventure!
@@TB---- Ah , ok yes . . .the video is released about 10 days after filming , i didn't know that , thought it would be released more or less straight after filming . But i guess the reply to my comment from Happy Days was real time , meaning if i posted 10pm UK it was 4am India when they replied , hence me asking about having an early start . Thanks for info on time lapse , i'll bear that in mind as we follow the journey .
Woo love it looking forward to this trip. Loved it with those boys running a long side the Rickshaw. Take care
Crazy, brave and fun - cant wait for the next episode in this adventure

What a fantastic adventure. I feel envious but very inspired too! I visited Jaipur in 2002 and can agree with your comments about the ‘variety’ of smells! And we’ll
Done on sorting Morgan too - must be a relief - but it may be a little boring once you’re back! You’ve got a fantastic length of time coming up - enjoy every minute but take care to keep safe!

Thanks mate, really appreciate it 👍
Great eh !
The cow is holy , so they have rights to wander the streets. Most villages keep dogs as guard dogs , who bark on a night when outsiders come by. The dogs also keep the snakes down.
I have never seen Janine grin so much!! Going to be a Fabulous adventure - really looking forward to your next video :-)
🤩🤩🛺
Absolutely superb bespoke transport through India and best of all you get half your money back at the end , can’t wait to see your adventures in India and best of all this is really unique content ❤🎉
Yeah not bad that we get half the money back, but we may be tempted to bring it back haha
That paint job is epic, just everything! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the mod-flower power paisley! So beautiful and cool! Be careful!
🎉👍🛺🇮🇳
Looks great guys and that definitely won't be mistaken for a removals van 😉
🤣🤣🤣
All the best and have fun looking forward this adventure with you both
Thank you 🛺👍🌼
Wow , your rickshaw looks fantastic! Just perfect. !❤🏵🌺🌸🍀 Well done Liam with your test drive ⭐ Stay safe tou guys I think you're going to have amazing adventures !❤
Thank you! ✨️🛺
Wow, what an adventure,I'm so excited for you and am really looking forward to your experiences.😃😃
Thank you! 😃
What fun! As a hippie of the 70s, I have to say, Liam nailed it! ☮️
Fantastic, what a great idea. Enjoy your trip in the flower power!
🛺🎉🇮🇳
Well done ur Grandad will be megga happy. Take care of each other and all your bags keep very close whilst in the Tuk Tuk x
Really best to get some chain & tie it firmly round your bags & attach it firmly to a fixed point in the rickshaw.
Wow that paint job looks so awesome 👌 have fun travelling around and good luck with the crazy drivers 🤦look forward to your next videos 🙌❤️
Thank you! Will do!
OMG how brilliant was your idea Liam to buy your own Tuktuk and those colours, it's fantastic. At least once the other drivers know you are not locals they may give you an easier time when they are near you. Can't wait to see where you get to next in it.....take care out there xx
Let's hope so haha 😄
Wicked rikshaw ! Have fun guys! Enjoy the ride and an amazing food of India... All the best.
Thanks a ton, and happy new year 🎉
Great idea to stand out and share the joy. You're already making friends and getting smiles. Just be safe and careful. Have a lovely time. Fantastic! XX
Thank you, and will do 👍
I'm looking forward to this, fair play! I really miss Chennai, I used to be there a lot, the atmosphere and energy is amazing!
