Two weeks ago I discussed with my 86 years old mother about her mobility needs. She is still riding her bike.. I showed her the ami, at first she thought it was an ugly car. Then I showed her your vlog about the delivery and your first drives around the parking place… there came a smile😊 and this morning I bought her one… now wait for 4 weeks and then off she goes! Thanks for your honest and very informative videos!
I Hope she loves it!
Good for her for riding a bike for so long!
Thats such a feelgood story , ty !
Well done yo you and y,our Mum, I hope she has many journeys and fun ahead.
Citroen should give you a *huge* bonus! Not only for the extreme testing but for your channel as such - you have put the Ami in the center of a very interesting and charming series of videos!
Best advertisement the Ami can get! If it wouldn't be too expensive, Citroen should put your full videos on TV in main TV hours!!!
I'm here in the (rather cold right now) north of Germany and don't even have a driver's license (and wouldn't be allowed to use an Ami here without it) but i watch all your videos. I'm not gay either, but i like what you are doing - keep the videos coming!! I enjoy the mixture of touristic moments - please do more food related stuff!!!! - and the 'my life right now' stories.
I really enjoyed your Italy adventures (can you drive your Ami in Italy without a driver's license without problems??)
It may be difficult to find ideas for new videos all the time, perhaps others can add some ideas here as well? - What about a video with someone who is just 14 and really does give your Ami a go for the first 10 hours or so?
Bye!!! 😁😁
After every video you release, I get more inpatient about my daugter getting old enough to start driving training for light vehicle. Then I get a "valid" excuse to order an Ami for us to share.
That’s the style;
@@MeandMonAmi there's still four+ years to go. There might be other alternatives then, but for now, I think Ami looks like the better alternative for us.
🤦♀️ scary times indeed.
That vehicle might be suitable for southern France and Italy, but useless in the cold areas of Northern Europe.
Also sunroofs are quite unnecessary.
@@johnbunyan5834 I share you concerns. I follow "Modern Heroes" and "My Ami Nice?", to learn about their experience
I took delivery of an Ami Tonic 3 weeks ago He is called Larios after the Spanish Gin! I could not be more delighted with him. I have mobility issues but find Larios a god sent. Thank you for all your videos. Informative and Fun!
I’m so pleased you love it and a perfect name!
Thank you so much for all the fun. I am hoping * to take delivery of my Citroen Ami in December here in Manchester. AT 78 I am hoping for a joyful tootling about but may try an adventure or too following your inspiration. Happy motoring .
Thanks Eileen . I hope you enjoy it!
Tim: "We're now gonna stick our 360 up the rear". I laughed out loud! Priceless...
I just realised that Elton has the same seating arrangement as a De Havilland Mosquito. That makes Mr Boo the navigator bomb aimer.
He is!
Lads I'm telling ya. Wrap the roof in white for the summer months. It will deflect the heat and block out the light coming through the glass part. I get hot just looking at it. You could leave the rear pillar in black. Wrapping is cheap, easy to do and you can even make a video out of it.
I’m sure you are right Steve. We need a rapper to hit us up! (See what I did there!)
Interesting vid...looks very clean for the amount of torture you have forced little Elton to suffer....I hope we see many more miles yet to come...all the best...Cheers
Thanks Chris. Yes I was very surprised!
@@MeandMonAmi I'll bet, when you're not looking, Elton cracks a little smile, thinking to himself, *I'm still standing*. ☺️
@@PhilipBallGarry And so he is!
I have parked in that same parking your car was delivered to. Thats a piece of paradise there.
It’s true! It’s a great view
"kerb rash" I've heard of. Ami is looking great. Another very enjoyable video. One of our fave channels on TH-cam now.
Thanks. Nowt worse than kerb rash!
@@MeandMonAmi at least the arseseals are ok.
@@MeandMonAmi the Ami is doing a grand job, you are having some great adventures and proving it works 💋😘
Or "curb rash" here in the US.
You’ve convinced me to buy an Ami! I live in Manchester, UK and took one for a test drive and it’s bloody perfect! I love your content and informative videos. Thank you for all the hints and tips, keep it up
Did you test drive the Ami at Citroën Manchester (Salford) Reece? We had a blast around Salford Quays and are hoping for imminent delivery of our Ami Pop that we ordered in June.🙂
Ordered ours hopefully coming end of this month. Manchester rally inbound then 😂
@@caldosan5823 great if you like 28mph and never leave the city 50 range for that there great
Please keep making these videos,so entertaining.
We’ll try
Fantastic video, great presentation.
Great city car, and excellent for Road trips as well.
Who needs 400 HP, to drive to the beach?
One of My Friends used to own a huge MASERATI Sedan.
And purchased last year a Smart to drive around Town.
After 4 or 5 months, he got rid of the fancy MASERATI.
It was mpossible to find a parking spot downtown -- that problem is no more driving the Smart.
Thank you for a great vídeo.
Thanks and absolutely. I see SUV’s here struggling to park in Town and wonder why when one person is in them
That's a really useful and relevant review. You guys can turn your hand to anything. Thanks so much!
Thanks
As a recent subscriber to your channel I find it such a refreshing change from doom and gloom or crime and the mix of humour and information a really uplifting experience. This video was great in making a worthwhile long term review funny but addressing the concerns one might have when considering whether to pull the trigger and buy it.
However when the video finished my tv automaticall started to run your exploit to the opening of the Ikea store in Nice. Personally I've never been inside and Ikea store and this was a real eye opener, my daughters keep trying to get me to go, you have changed my mind and it's now a must. What a hilarious episode and you guys as always puch little Elton to the limit, as was Mr Boo I think lol. Keep up the entertainment with your boundless 'Fountain' of humour and knowledge. Take care lads.
Thanks Ray. I’m sorry if I’ve driven you to IKEA. Actually it can be fun if it’s not busy!
Hi guys,
Many thanks for your prompt reply. Dipping in and out of your entertaining and informative vids.
Thanks for watching!
I'm from Bradford I remember Joe Johnson. I just love your videos true comedy and beautiful scenery. Quest TV should make a series. Thank you so much for your entertainment in these uncertain times.
Thanks David
You guys lift my spirits keep up the good work
Thanks Leslie
Another beautiful video. See one in London Oxford Street yesterday.
Wowzer. Rental or owned?
Yet again another amazing video guys!
thanks!
Really loved this bit of a review after 5000km and I’m totally hooked on your channel and cannot wait for the next episode 😃 Thanks to you 3 🙃
Thanks Brad
Another great video, I really enjoyed it!
Thanks Henk
Very informative as usual! Take care xx❤
Thanks Keith
You & Mister Boo provides one of the best vlogs on you tube..you are so down to earth you two that is what makes it so enjoyable & the little car 🚗 is an amazing thing when you think how little it cost to buy & how little it will cost to run...it might not be suitable for the masses but for some it will be all they need 👍keep up the great entertainment & good luck to you both😁
Thanks David. So glad you are enjoying.
Great video Gentleman, merry christmas
Thanks, you too!
Great video! Well done putting Siri in “its” place 😂
She gets ideas above her station!
That was brilliant thanks. You could do a washing machine review and still make it fun. Cheers.
Thanks. Don’t tempt me!
I really hope that citroen are sponsoring you .
I wish..
Nice and informative video :) I wanted to repeat my suggestion to cover the roof window with mirror foil to mitigate the greenhouse effect when parking in the sun.
Thanks Leonard. We do remember some times..
You could also fit a car roller blind horizontally- for car windows? Seeing as the body is plastic it could be attached with 3M strong Velcro. It *wont* fall down with that stuff or even plastic ties on the metal parts. Anyway, check Amazon.
It’s never going to suffer like a car in the U.K. with salt on the roads and it probably wouldn’t, seeing at its a steel frame. The climate your in is perfect for most of the year
Enjoyed the underside views, nice touch.
Thanks Bob!
Hi boys! I just love y'all's channel! You two make great company when I'm getting work done around the house! I am ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE with the Citroën AMI! I hope to own one one day! Of course I'm a HUGE fan of Citroën so I'm hoping to own a 2CV one day as well! I think the AMI and the 2CV serve very similar purposes. The plastic polycarbonate shell of your car is very similar to the quarter panels on the first Honda Elements, one of which I owned. My first week of driving it and a client's gardener gouged the living hell out my driver's side quarter panel with his wheel barrow! I WAS LIVID! A heat gun is a really great idea!
Thanks Julie. Yes I think the 2cv is a close relative more so that it’s earlier namesake really
Your interaction with Siri, hilarious.
Ami is a fun motor.
Siri makes me mad!
Hello Tim and Mr Boo. Great to see a mid-week video treat and the gorgeous weather. Congrats on the 5000 km in Elton. Here's to many more adventures and kms (or miles if you're a tad traditional lol 😆) Good tip about the industrial blu tac too.
Thanks. It’s really surprisingly expensive and good!
Great idea about the ball in the door, I've taken one off Jack our westie who has quite a collection.
Poor Jack!
I appreciate the use of that 360 camera! I've never seen the underside of an Ami, and my impression is that it looks very sturdy! Very substantial. I was surprised at the number of hand made welds. I thought electric cars would be made by robots or some such. Thanks so much for that view; I don't think many other channels show that angle. Well done.
I think it’s actually manufactured in Morocco.
@@MeandMonAmi yes it is ...
Another excellent video, Elton looks to be in excellent condition.
Thanks Richard. I was amazed looking underneath!
Finally got to test drive one in my local uk dealers today after a year of waiting! Well it’s like nothing I’ve ever driven before, however it wasn’t that bad, got smiles waves and even flagged down by some bemused Australians with loads of questions. Driving it for the first time has made me realise it was the right decision pre ordering back in feb
I’m so glad. I think they are super fun but as I’ve always said they need to work for your use case etc
Just subscribed great channel 😊 I’m really thinking of buying one.
Thanks Harry. We obviously love ours. Check out my 4000km video as it’s all about whether it will work for everyone or not.
another interesting video!
Interesting review. Good to see Elton holding up well with all the use it’s had. Good to see Elton’s bottom looks like new.😃👍
He’s a very clean boy!
Very cool video and a tough car!
Thanks Tore
Citroen should pay you guys for such a fair and positive appraisal of the AMI.
I want one but the only thing that stops me is the Citroen dealer is 25 miles away along main roads at 60/70mph.
How would I get it back to them for servicing and/or recalls - maybe they would provide a free low loader every time it needs it's yearly service. (somehow, I think not)
HOWEVER. Word is that Fiat may do a badged version of the Ami with Citroen to be badged as the Topolino.
The Fiat dealer is 1.5 miles from my home and it's along roads at 20/30mph (I can avoid the 40mph road with no problem)
Have already told the salesperson I always ask for when I change my Fiat's to put me down for a test drive if they do it next year.
You show how much fun the little Ami is to drive. Well done. As I said, Citroen should pay you guys
Thanks. I think they already do a Topolino. Once a year you could do that drive. It would cheer up the locals!;
@@MeandMonAmi The Fiat Ami would be badged as Topolino according to reports.
To drive the Ami to the nearest Citroen main dealer would entail driving at 28mph along a busy road. It would mean having maybe 4 or 5, 40tonne lorries in a convoy behind the Ami plus a number of cars all wanting to do at least 50 mph. There are a few places to pull over to let them pass but not many.
Not bothered about upsetting a few car drivers 🤣🤣 but Lorry drivers don't need the hassle. 😡
Oh Lord, I am now still trying to count the times that you are saying Mr. Boo. 🤷♀️ LOL, you can’t clean it with spit. It’s none of your business Siri, do you mind? BTW, I’ve never seen the underside of a car that looked that clean before, amazing.
I was amazed!
Brilliant and informative, as ever. Elton’s holding up extremely well it seems.
I’d like one of these over here in Killaloe, Ireland (originally from Sussex) but on these rural roads the top speed might be an issue? Not from my own point of view but for other motorists on some of the many hills😊
I do on sunny days potter around in a 499cc, 1970 vintage left hand drive FIAT 500 called Bella (ex Mafia Staff most likely car from Palermo) which isn’t exactly quick, but I can get about 70 kph out of her.
I had several 2cv’s back in the day - I’m 65 now - and Elton brings back fond memories.
Really love the channel and thanks for the entertainment.
Thanks Alun. I had a friend when I was very young who had a 2CV and we went to model car meetings in it. I loved it though you had to bail it out with a coke can when it rained (which made me love it even more!)
Great review, also surprised how clean Elton is underneath, seems well built for the price.
Thanks Raymond. So far so good!
Elton is running like brand new, such a nice little car, my best wishes to you guys, and Elton of course
Thanks so far so good
I agree with a lot of comments, really interesting video! And the view of the undercarriage was surprising because the Ami structure looks all brand new! Of course I guess you don't have much salt on the road on the Cote d'Azur :D
PS : lol at the handbrake memory :D
Thanks. Not much salt on the roads but I guess quite a lot in the air as we live right by the sea
@@MeandMonAmi true!
I saw a guy elsewhere in France who took the front and rear off, only six bolts each end, and it looked terribly dirty underneath front and back and you could definitely see how thin the metal frame was. I couldn't see if they had galvanised it before painting but I doubt it. If it isn't a galvanised frame it would make sense for me owners to remove those few bolts and Waxoyl the insides of the frame members and the outside before otherwise trying to protect the parts. The motor and drive belt have nothing to protect them from junk thrown up by the front wheels for example and cheap polycarbonate sheet cut and tie wrapped in place either side of the motor would prevent that without affecting the cooling. Same around the battery connections at the back.
Make sense for new owners to Waxoyl it I meant to say.
Lol, as slick as ever, would not have it any other way 😂👍, good to see it is still looking good after 5k, 10k is your next one or a breakdown 👌, keep the vids coming guys 👍
The erm ‘breakdown’ is coming!;
@@MeandMonAmi 😂🤣😂🤣😂 Bugger! 😂🤣😂🤣😂👍
It's very reliable 🙂 I really love that car nice informative review
Thanks
Very informative thanks. Its really good to see owner/drivers like yourselves showing what its like to own and drive an EV…. Laurie
Thanks Laurie
Awesome vid, have you considered doing the engine cover mod?
Thanks. What’s that?
What’s this boys, a vlog on a Wednesday?! You little tinkers, but that’s your rock and roll lifestyle I suppose…
Elton looks like he’s in tip top condition, I’m sure you’ll be pleased to see the rear end is holding up fine…
The rear was my major concern Richard!
Nice walk round ( and underneath) video Tim, a bit of 'Back to Black' or similar ( loads of choice in autoshops) on the roof should work. Loved the Yorkshire references , Joe Johnson ( Bradford lad) and of course loiner, Jimmy Savile ( I won't say Sir)! Clunk click !
I look forward to the next instalment. Regards from Yorkshire.
Thanks Richard. I’ve nice idea where Joe Johnson came from!
Hope these take off and create a cheaper secondhand market.
Hey Clive Sincliar if you put pedels in it you can cycle it home when the battery drains I told you that in the 70s in your C5 I see you haven't changed the wheels still same ones
Lovevly vídeo as usuall ! , I’m just saving money to buy one of those!. I’ve lived in La Coruña ( Galicia North of Spain). Should be really usefull for me and this small city as well, I’m almost 50 and my two kids said that I’m crazy to loved this cuatricycle, even more when I used to have a Harley Davidson, any I’m big fan of both of you. Keep doing, when Spain?
Thanks very much. Harley/ami.. two sides same coin?
hi i love the channel. i was wondering if you could try to put a small solar panel with suction cups on the roof in or outside to charge the bluetti while you are driving.
Thanks Johan. Yes i think that would be possible. The solar panels we have wouldn’t work though. Do such things exist with suction cups?
The newer ones have more sealing on the doors, improved ventilation and no issues like the rear light. Downside: you pay 1000 eur more for them.
I think it’s the same fan with just a different funnel to diffuse it better?
@@MeandMonAmi Yes, there's an inlet in the hole in front of the windscreen, but you still have the hairdryer. It keeps the main windscreen fog free at least. The doors have an extra seal on the top, plus it has the parts that Elton was fitted with at the recall as standard. And perhaps they improved the assembly line so there are no visible quality issues, but otherwise it's the same Ami for 1k more.
What a wonderful surprise! A mid-week video! And a look at Elton. One question: What about the seats? Have you gone through many cushions? And since they look like plastic, do they make your backs sweat in the heat? Thanks for the happy surprise video!
Thanks Mike. We’ve added a second cushion and yes my back sweats!
Thanks for the update. If anything Tim, I'd say even if Elton is showing a bit of ware after 5,000km, you're looking a bit younger.
Only a very wee bit!
Very enjoyable and love the humour.
Looks like Elton is quite sturdy and not as flimsy as some might think.
Ok, now it’s time to seek out an Ami modding expert to get more speed out of Elton, that’d be fun 😁
it’s all about the software. The motor and batter can cope..
The problem is, if a police car follows you it will be obvious that you have modified the vehicle, which means it is no longer legally a quadricycle, so you will need a driving licence, different insurance, and more road tax, etc. It will need to have air bags, anti lock brakes, crash testing, type approval, and all the other things cars have to have. They could throw the book at you. I don't think it's worth it.
Quite ...
@@bimble7240
Quite so but am sure it must be possible to register it from a quadrocycle to full electric car…am sure it may happen because the Ami is such a brilliant little vehicle, it lends itself to be upgraded, even for safety’s sake.
@@nickwebb9290 No you can't, because cars have to be crash tested and they need anti-lock brakes, airbags, crumple zones, side impact protection, and a few other things before they can be registered as a car. Even if you could, no insurance company would insure it if it was capable of over say 40 mph, as the risk to the occupants in a high speed crash would be excessive.
Not a beta user, more like a chad alpha user! Keepup the reviews.
Merci
Very interesting, informative review, thank you! 'Kerb rash' 😀
Thanks. Is kerb rash not a thing?!
@@MeandMonAmi yes it is, I think you said kerb burn! It doesn't matter anyway, just wanted to say I enjoy your videos, I only found you recently.
Hello Tim, i solved my problem with parasole using the superglue (attack) to glue the support on the plastic over my head. from that moment i had no more falling parasole.
Thanks. That’s my next policy!
I'm sure a car valeting expert could advise you on products to sort out the plastic staining on the roof and body. I think the ami is good value for money. You could wipe the roof with undiluted washing up liquid to stop the sap from trees affecting the roof. The idea is you leave a film of washing up liquid on the surface.
Thanks we’ll try that!
Félicitations! Very interesting 5,000km report. The car, excuse me, the quadricycle is holding up very well. The 360 camera underneath the Ami revealed everything to be clean but also showed a lot of unused space around the wheel wells. Maybe you can start smuggling cheap cigarettes or something else from Italy to France!
Now that’s an idea!;
Hello salut from Montreal…. Too bad we don’t get this little ami here in Quebec…at list we could use it during summer time … winter time it’s another story…
Salut! Yes you may need a ceramic heater for Quebec!
Buy a oack of cut to size sticking plasters for the scrapes, for that added "cute" factor?
That would be very cute!
Great video as usual Tim. Looks really clean under there. What are the chances of all our U.K. Ami’s being as clean. 🤔
I suspect they will get a wee bit dirtier. Almost as dirty as ours is INSIDE!
Lol. It’s so easy to clutter our cars. I have to do a monthly clean out of all the junk. Usually his. 😂
I think this guy has also strained this groin with Mr. Boo a few times! 😂 🌈
Can’t you get the glass roof tinted to almost black? These ceramic tints are very good at keeping the heat at bay. Great videos! 👍
A very Informative Episode about the Ami which I really enjoyed. Question...If you put a wide Masking Tape round the Glass Roof, then sprayed the Glass with a Matt Black Acrylic Polyurethane Enamel (Car Paint) wouldn't that greatly reduce the Heat inside Elton? By the way, sorry to hear about the Groin Strain. Are you sure it was the Hand Brake you pulled. Ha! Ha!
Thanks Jamie. It might… heat mitigation measure test!
Hi guys why dont you stick a sheet of vinyl tint on roof at the highest tint. It would solve your heat issue but block light, dont think i will do this to my ami in november when i get it as live in coatbridge lol
We are definitely going to try heat mitigation measure before next summer. Thankfully it’s cooled down a bit here now
The under belly looks quite substantial actually. Almost like a proper car. 🙂
I think so. Maybe not quite as substantial
Great adventure videos...What about battery's health after 5000km?
No problems at all still delivering full range
Looking good, holding up well. Please don't use a green pad or similar on the roof though - it'll mark it permanently. It really needs a bumper treatment suitable for vinyl - "Back to Black" or similar, or even your WD40. I actually use ACF50 on plastic parts. It's designed as a moisture repellent and corrosion inhibitor but brings up black plastic really well 👍
Thanks. Yup thankfully others pointed it out too before I got carried away
Nice bottle trick for keep doors open.
Did u get a proper type of fuses?
Mr boo still maintains he hot the right ones!! I shall check, thanks for reminding me
Mr Boo lol. Driver is fit...
Seems you’re happy with Elton! There’s the new dune buggy version which may be a better fit for French Riviera living. The only constraint with the Citroen Ami is cargo space.
Yup though you need a garage really for a buggy and we don’t have one
I wonder could you fit a solar panel to the roof as you live in a sunny climate it would also give you shade as well.
Yes we’d love to the problem is they all seem to attachvia suction cups and they don’t work on the plastic roof..
Have you explained about the French, Voiture Sans Permis in a video? I haven't noticed, but curious about it.
Is it literally correct, or do you need some paperwork to get a permit?
Are the rules different depending on how old you are?
In Norway: You can get a driving permit for 2 wheeled mopeds from application, if you are born before 1985, no training or test required.
However the application can be denied, and the permit can be revoked (e.g. after driving under the influence of alcohol etc.)
Younger drivers have to do mandatory training and a theory test, but no driving test.
For 3-4-wheeled mopeds (e.g. Ami EV), you have to a different mandatory training and theory test, but still no driving test.
(As for "no driving test": you still need a pass from a (certified) driving instructor for each section of training, before you can continue, but not a final test.
We’ve talked about it but not in detail. Good idea. Thanks!
Why not take Elton into a glass tint place and get a darker sunscreen tint fitted ?
Good idea.
Putting the Chakribati with the rest of the crap is definitely the right move.
When was the last video on here that had Ena Sharples and Jimmy Saville references? It’ll have been a while. 😂
The purpose of the Avant Garde is to rediscover the past!;
Please consider the rally idea as you could plaster Elton with sponsorship to make francs, make a exciting video and make me laugh.
Would a rally let us in though?
@@MeandMonAmi Pass. Anyone know?
how often do you check the tire pressure? Have you had to inflate a lot?
We do check and no we haven’t..
PTFE spray for the window hinges and other plastic and metal body parts subject to unwanted friction and squeekiness ?
Is that silicon spray? We have that for our squeaky bed
Great little car but i cant get past the colour..? It keeps taking me back to the "invacars" of the late 60's/70's?🤔 Take a look at the opel rocks-e for a more pleasing colour scheme ✌
I genuinely love the colour but it clearly isn’t for everyone!
Don’t fancy crawling under the car to charge or replace the 12V accessory battery. Is there a hatch on the inside to access it?
Nope but I think you can detach the rear panel pretty easily. Check out the instruction link I posted in description.
Looking good......My neighbour has just dropped 18.6 million on his new Bugatti and i would rather drive your little Ami. Did you look at the roof vents? might help the heat build up, loads of them on tinterweb, sure there is a garage that can fit them for ya and reduce the heat love from the Alps
Thanks Bill. Yes I think they could help. The temps cooking here now but we will definitely do something before Next Summer re the heat
20:28 Looking at the under vehicle video, it's surprising that the battery is so compact; it should be very easy to add another one to provide almost double the range.
I guess it’s relatively compact though still pretty beefy
I am not absolutely sure but think the small battery at the back is an ancillary one might even be for the turtle mode. The main battery i believe is under the passenger seat. Now that I have said that I'm sure the guys that know them inside out will put us straight.
@@nigelworwood8530 What makes you think that it needs an ancillary battery? Don't forget these are Lithium batteries. They aren't bulky.
@@bimble7240 Hi again. I think I've seen online a layout that shows the traction battery under the passenger seat and this almost a motor cycle sized battery at the back. My thoughts were it is a battery to still give you lights for emergancies or to give you power to crawl off the road to safety. I will update you when I get mine.
@@nigelworwood8530 I look forward to that. Thank you.
3:00 More specifically , all french cars are going to be scratched. 😅
I found about the car via the matchbox casting that is done of it. Then i looked videos on the real one. I like it!! I live in newbury ont canada. As much as i have at times i have not been saying nice about electric cars it is more based tbe overall way they being made to look "how" to live with via the government. But i do enjoy fun design and this car fits my intetests nicely. This goes for other ev designs i have seen as well like the honda e.
To make a long story idea short getting these into canada as low cost rental to work along side the transit system to allow one greater mobility then a bus and lower cost then a taxi to let people greater freedom to do shopping and other tasks within the city limits (or maybe to trips just outside of the city) that fit within the range vehicle. Just an idea in need to look at. Do you know who has the imports rights of citreon into canada? And does anyone know of any problems transport canada could cause in regards to red tape? This current government just loves gate keepers!!
It’s definitely a fun design Steve
“I can’t tell you what you can see because only you can see it”………..hilarious ! And completely unscripted (I think)❤
Definitely unscripted!
Rally sponsorship from Cit.
Why not apply a vinyl film on the sun roof? 3M has heat deflecting one way film
I have a feeling We’d make it look back and I kind of like the black but….
Vinyl cleaner and protection may do the job?
thanks
I think they have the doors hinged the wrong way round for left hand drive. With a steering wheel it would be easier to get in and out if the left hand door hinged at the front.
I wonder why they did that? Aesthetics or because the doors are interchangeable so only one needs to be manufactured?
@@MeandMonAmi Yeah there is only one door made so it is cheap to make...but still think they hinged it the wrong way. The passenger door could open "suicide door" style. Anyway, thoroughly enjoyed some of your videos so far. Going through those narrow streets in that car you get amazing views. The car is a genius design right up there with the 2CV :)
Get a little nylon car cap Tim...
