Always a pleasure, and who else but Tim and Mr. Boo can turn a rainy day and a trip to a Citroen service center a cinematic adventure? My highlight was the Chinese woman giving a good thrashing. It reminded me of a Chinese Girlfriend years ago who used to always browbeat me with "AND ANOTHER THING!" and worse... She once insisted coming along on a business trip to Reno to pick up a Cessna, (just to make sure I didn't escape a good thrashing). As soon as we left Reno she started with an onslaught of 'And another thing!" until reaching about 16,000ft., where without supplemental oxygen or cabin pressure she finally ran out of "Another thing" and oxygen, and passed out. She once told me an old Chinese proverb about a man with an abusive wife, and how one day he retreated underneath the bed to escape a particularly bad beating, only to have his wife demand: "You come out from under that bed! I'M NOT FINISHED BEATING YOU!". Finally having enough, he barked: "I'M THE MAN OF THIS HOUSE AND I'LL COME OUT WHEN I'M READY!...".
I was reminded of a biblical proverb: "It's better to live in the smallest corner of an attic than the house of a contentious woman".
Cessna, lack of oxygen, lol, far out! I only read your comment to start off as Mum was an O’Neil. Ex PPL here and have flown to n from Vegas in a friends Cessna… Laurie NZ.
Thanks Jack. Are you a solo flyer these days or did you get another co pilot?
@@MeandMonAmi Thanks Tim, Good question. After a few other contentious co-pilots, I sort of conceded it was perhaps better to fly solo and lonely, than be married and miserable. But in all fairness to the Chinese girls, there were a couple I might have done better to stick with.
When I've taken a car in for service at a dealership, I tell them that I've got a hospital appointment (I haven't, but they don't know that 🤣) and need the car back by a certain time.......or sometimes I tell them that I'll sit and wait in the customer area (whilst drinking the free coffee) so that they get working on the car much faster. Mind you that's here in the UK, so that tactic may not work in France 🤔
That is very bad; (consider the idea stolen)
I have never watched you before just was searching this weird car and ended up loving watching you, you two are so sweet and funny!
Thanks welcome to the channel!
you two guys are amazing ...
Thanks
We’ve got the Ami Pop on order here in the UK and will be having a first test drive at our local Citroën dealer on Friday. 😀
Update: Test drive completed. No regrets. Roll on September. 🙂
Excellent. Have fun!
It will make you smile
I just wanted to say, I've been following you guys for a good while now and the videos are excellent.. it's always been a dream of mine to retire over in France.. and now I want to retire there even more, with a Citroen Ami as my choice of vehicle of course 😂👍 keep up the great entertainment guys 👍
Thanks so much. We have a video on the way which should be of interest given your plans
I agree, I’m hooked on these video’s by you guys myself now, can’t wait to see the next one. I wish they would hurry up and get something like it in the US.
Mr. Boo's facial expressions, the best, Mr. Boo rarely needs to talk... Love it!
Don’t encourage him!;
I’ve done a lot of research on this car but never managed to find a video or image of the wheel arch spats, really useful
I did laugh to see your initial excitement at visiting a garage only to quickly change to one of being fed up by them - that’s how we all feel 😂. Given your new found love of having personal transport any regrets of not having a car before now? Great videos - many thanks👍
Yes a baptism of fire! I’m not much one for regretting and I had a lot of fun on my leccy bike but we are certainly enjoying Elton.
I missed you guys so much! After a few weeks of watching several videos per day and catching up, waiting a week seems interminable! More great fun! Thanks!
Thanks Mike
Very instructive and fun video as always.👍 My AMI was delivered in July and I had no knowledge about this fitting. But after checking, it is indeed fitted with those "Garde Boue". I guess the model has improved a lot by now. BTW this little car is so much fun to drive ! I love it ! And it makes watching your great videos even more interesting 😃 thank you for the great job you are doing. Watching your weekly release has become a ritual😊
Thanks Olivier. How many KM have you done so far?
@@MeandMonAmi well, only 170km because we were on holydays... but we use it daily now that we are back in Brussels. It's still a rarity here so people are curious and often ask us questions about it. 😄
Thankyou for another lovely vid, im so in love with the Ami and you both make it seem such an enjoyable ride
We love it. Where are you based?
Only you guys can make a trip to the garage so much fun. Great stuff. Be careful De Lorean had trouble with doors popping open and look what happened there !
Thanks Andrew. Yes De Lorean was going to be the Elon Musk of his day wasn’t he?
@@MeandMonAmi The car ended up going “back to the future”
Thanks for another entertaining visit to the south of France. It's fun hanging out with you both!
Thanks. Glad you are enjoying!
Hello guys. A very interesting video. I have never seen a garage so complex to get around. It's great the Citroen dealer sorted the few issues with Elton. Many miles (I mean kilometres!) of autonomy ahead 🙂 Passe une bonne soiree 🚘
Thanks Andrew! It’s quite a place and they did a good job eventually
as always, had a lot of fun watching your adventures, as a good petrolhead I enjoy seeing how people react when they get more into cars and motors :) (sorry you had to wait so much but all the garages tend to want to get the cars when the sun rises and think that people don't matter getting them back when the sun sets :/ :D )
Thanks! I’m on the learning curve!
(16:24) That reminded me of similar experiences I have in Singapore, where most quick service restaurants open at 08:00 and public libraries open at either 10:00 or 11:00 depending on the location. I would normally wait and time when I'd leave home so I'd arrive when they open, but I'd also put up with family members who arrive early, usually to go to the airport, and they would bring us to eat at a place like Toast Box or Ya Kun which serve traditional breakfast.
(17:11) I was reminded of when I read a CNA article about the same thing happening in Singapore and several other countries.
Those screech noises are giving me a panic attack haha
Another fun episode guys, pleased the car is sorted for the Autumn/Winter seasons
indeed. We can’t wait to get back on the open road again!
Hey guys, enjoyed this one, love me a bit of Cap 3000 retail therapy! That Citroen garage is just up the road from our little Nicois pied a terre we bought a couple of years ago, driven past it many times. Take care Tim and Mr Pare Booooooo !
Ha. Mr Mud Flap! Glad you enjoyed
Very relaxed Vid to watch > Thank You
Thanks
"Thumbs up for Len" I haven't heard that in years either, usually said with a huge cheeky grin and your thumb proudly in the air!
it was very popular at the time. I can’t remember which comic started it?
@@MeandMonAmi I can't remember either other than it was after April 1983
Interesting episode as always, I hope this modification can avoid problems!
I think it will make a difference but time will tell
"Thumbs up to Len" - 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Never thought I'd hear that again!! Brilliant!
Who first said it? That’s what I want to know..
@@MeandMonAmi the hive-mind of the playground I guess. Anyway, big thumbs up for your channel 😁- I love the banter, the travel and the ongoing review of Elton.
Another brilliantly entertaining and informative post 👍 thanks
Thanks Nick
Rain must be a welcomed relief after such a long heat wave. Glad Ami is safe and sounder now. Bon Camino
Thanks Raoul. Yes would be nice to have some more TBH
I started watching because of the Ami. Your knowledge of the area and the beautiful locations are equally as interesting. Your videos are of cinematic quality and they make me happy. Thank you from Massachusetts,U.S.A.
Thanks David. So glad you are enjoying.
You guys are just Amazing. Love your Channel. My Wife is a massive 2CV fan and one of our dear friends takes us on 2CV rallies in the UK. She’s likely going to put her’s into storage over the winter in the UK. My totally limited French did manage to pick up the word ‘door’. Love those 2CV windows!
Thanks Tony. So glad you enjoying
"Thumbs up for Ken" 😂😂😂 Now there's a line I haven't heard for 40yrs. Worth a subscribe just for that.
It’s frightening how much forty year old material I can remember! Welcome!
I'm fairly new to your channel but I love that you've called your ami Elton.
Thanks. It was a subscriber who chose the name!
Thats because the seat gives u a reggie
You had some decent rain. You lucky sods. I live in East anglia, Norwich. It is the driest area of England and we haven't had any decent rainfall since last winter. We had half an hour of not even drizel but I went out in it and it was wonderful. I can't wait for a proper downpour.
To be fair it was one of about four cloudbursts this year (from memory). Still facing drought..
My first Me and Mon Ami. Absolutely hilarious. Your accent seemed so familar to me... Then I realised it should be as you're from just down the road. All the best from Birkenshaw.
I’m from reet near! Hope you enjoy the rest!
Why did I subscribe?? Well, two visits to Nice with my wife, first one miles out, second one right next to the old town, Beau Rivage? You learn after the first visit. I love Nice, it's like Brighton, but warmer. So many different aspects to it! Love it!!!! So watching you guys makes me feel I'm back again.
So glad you are enjoying.
So enjoyed all your videos .❤️😀👍
Thanks Colin
Happy to see Elton is ok. Aqua plane was always a problem after the intense heat. Surprised that Tim never said anything rude about the driver being sucked out and towards the end with Mr Boo on the roof of the garage about to throw himself off. Stay safe guys, was funny the covid notice in the garage
I resisted THAT innuendo!
Just found your channel, your vlogs are great!
Thanks so much!!
Fantastic videos love your channel.
Thank you very much!
Dark clouds over the Mother in laws Priceless.
I like to keep the humour current!;
Good to see it's not only the UK we're you wait and wait lol, good video as usual and like the look of the place, apart from Parc Phoenix by the looks of it 😂
Thanks Ian. It may have improved since we were there.. (!)
great insight for British owners to look out for ( the modifications). Thanks
I think they will be there but worth checking
@@MeandMonAmi thanks. Are you tempted getting a Bluetti ?
Very entertaining, thank you!
Thanks Thomas
Well done guys 👍🇬🇧
Thanks
Oh good, much more secure. Good for head office!
Indeed!
Thumbs up Len, haven't heard that in such a long time 😄
Me neither. The perils of the senior memory!
Hello, it's good to see the Citroen recall Citroen AMI because have many problems. My Citroen ami yesterday leaks water in my head from the sunroof!!! He leaks from the sunroof and doors, passenger side even more. Unfortunately I should be awaiting 2 weeks for repair. Sunroof fail to keep water out of cabin probably because it doesn't have enough glue, between the glass and plastics. I'm very disappointed. What a joke for a micro mobility of 10.600+ euro and owning 3 months.
Definitely a "thumbs up" for this video :-)
Thanks Kenneth👍
Quite an open and shut case👍
Thanks John
"Don't go too fast", had me chuckling on a channel devoted to the Citroen Ami.
Elton can get carried away!
Congratulations for the deluge (yay!) when everywhere else is in drought!
I don’t think it will solve our drought sadly!
Knowing how you both promote their Ami, I'd of thought the dealership would have closed for the day to allow you their full red-carpet treatment🙂
Ha. Didn’t quite work out that way!
Not the reason I was watching, but I’m liking the Swatch/Omega collaboration, it has gone into my Christmas wish list…thank you!! 😃
Ha best start queueing now!
Hilarious (and informative)! Power to you. Ad altiora!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video and truly enthralling life in the slow lane 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Life doesn’t change in over 40 years. Let me explain. Back in 1981 I had to choose between a Fiat Panda and a 2CV. Yes I realise not top end choices, but the Panda won out as it accelerated faster onto the local death trap roundabout. But to bring it back to your problems, the Fiat Panda was recalled after 6 months of ownership to retro fit (wait for it) inner plastic mudguards….
Yep, god bless the Italians they realised without the inner guards the car would rust to pieces. Final note - it did rust to bits. It lasted 4 years and 65,000 miles and then fell apart. And that was on the salty south coast of England rather than the warm and salty south of France.
Keep up the great work chaps. You are a breath of fresh air 🤓👍🏻
Thanks Phil and what a great story! Plus ça change!
@@MeandMonAmi very much so mon ami.
Life has moved on and it’s a Mercedes now. We miss the south of France (many motorcycling trips there in the 2000’s) and thank you so much for showing us the delights of your life over there 🤓🤓👍🏻👍🏻
It was quite funny hearing someone talking about len floor-cloth after all these years ‘
Word on the street is he was caught fiddling at a swimming baths near derby !
PS I hope that these little motors take off ……. 🤷🏼♂️ 🇬🇧.
I’m glad you appreciated it Peter. All in the best possible taste etc!
My Yaris had a recall so when I called them to sort out the appointment I said I cant take it the dealers?
So someone dropped by & picked up the Car early in the morning & then dropped it home for me near teatime.....
So glad you re all sorted now & I heard you mention Bridlington?
I am from Hull & we used to visit Brid a lot & I stayed there for a week this year....
It has nt changed that much which is nice,I love the white stone beach up near Sewerby....
Fond memories😊😘
Is the pitch and putt course still at Sewerby park?
Hi there,Ohh I m not sure....
Hope u manage to visit Brid soon & have a walk down memory Lane🤗
Hello I'm writing from Turkey and first of all I enjoyed a lot seeing dealership abroad. They are always the same. They love people wait for hours. But I still prefer going there because I trust them than ordinary services
It was our first time. Now we know. The man on the desk was very nice though
Morning great vids keep them coming. can I ask you are there any secondhand ones for sale out there?
Thanks Kevin. The odd one pops up on Le Bon coin for quite a bit more than the new price. Also export import taxes to consider sadly
The world's most complicated umbrella.
I keep trying to get him to buy a new one;
7:21 look by Mr. Boo. Priceless. ;)
Mr BOO!
Hello from (moderately) sunny Cornwall where I've been binge-watching your stuff (beats Breaking Bad) and having a great laugh doing so. I'm not gay, but I do love your cheeky double entendres (doggers for Dogwalkers, seeding the passage etc) You're quite the Celeb Mr Fountain, whereas OTOH Mr Boo is a man of mystery. I chuckle when you worry about 28mph not being fast enough, because the car of choice here is a 15 year old Nissan Micra that has probably never reached the dizzy heights of 28mph. If one did, there would be discontent in the Council Chamber (I'm sure there's a joke there somewhere) Anyhow, keep 'em coming boys (now that IS a double entendre...) Toodle pip.
Thanks. Glad you are enjoying. I’m a child of Carry on I fear!
Fantastique !
So you got yer liners in .👍😀
Would hate to see you falling out when out withMr.Boo . 😉
When you going to queue for the Omega Swatch then ? 😮
Nice to see a bit of Nice, lol ! My family , on Dad’s side were from there.
Was a sandwich all that you could get in that shopping mall ?
All we could afford!; There are loads of restaurants. Whether they are any good I’ve no idea..
@@MeandMonAmi
Aw ! Is there bad inflation there in France Tim ? Here in the UK price inflation is just terrible. Especially petrol & diesel ( good job Elton is electric ⚡️⛈🌩🚠🚟🚋🛸🚥).
@@uberrex8425 It’s not as bad as U.K. but it’s certainly high. Thankfully electric rise pegged at 4%
@@MeandMonAmi
Much better than 50% !
😱
Impressive bypass of the innuendo opportunity 🤣
Not a clue what you are on about!

Mr K Williams would love it 🤣
Love your videos guys and your AMI i would buy one but unfortunately won't be available in Australia.
Thanks Jimbo. What a shame.. I’m sure some Chinese micro cars might make their way to you?
Well, you've convinced me, I¨m getting an Ami too. Unfortunately, not yet sold in my area :(
Where are you?
@@MeandMonAmi Northern Europe
Great video! I’m actually considering buying one of these for the business. I’m actually on holiday atm in Nice and i’ve only seen one in Marseille today! Would love to take a look.
☺️
Thanks. Pop into the Darty just off Jean Médecin they have one in the shop you can get in and out of etc
@@MeandMonAmi Thank you ! I went to see it, much bigger than I thought as I have a Twizy atm. Keep up the content! 😊
@@LEvans2k6 There is way more room inside than you expect and more comfortable for two than the Twizzy I would have thought?
@@MeandMonAmi Yes and it would suit the Irish weather better 😂 The Twizy lacks windows haha 😅
I've just discovered your channel and I really love it, It looks like your Ami is rocketing along but could the Ami be made to go faster by fiddling with the motor..? Or performance tuning.
It’s a software restriction for French Law. Glad you are enjoying. There are lots more videos in the back catalogue.
@@MeandMonAmi yep its brilliant..!
Tell you what that Citroen dealership is a slick looking operation. At least you weren’t kept waiting until the end of the day which is what happens to me usually!
Ultimately we were happy but you can only spend so long in a shopping centre doing nowt!
I'm relieved to know you fellas won't be flying out the doors! Pare boue's is a much classier term than mud flaps.I think I'll say that from now on. Enjoy your pareboue's! Love from Vermont
Thanks Rebekah. Mr Pareboue agrees!
thanks
Didn’t you miss our soppy music on this one?;
Bonjour, vos vidéos sont intéressantes, dommage que nous n'ayons pas tout le temps la traduction en français ! Bonne continuation dans vos aventures avec la Citroën ami et bonne route . 😊😎👍
sadly it costs too much and takes too long to do it for every video. Maybe AI might come to our rescue soon!
Hi guys just put my order in to citroen uk for a no frills ami for £102 per month on pcp and cant wait to go to edinburgh dealership to collect in november, just need my other half onside now as not sure
Excellent! Good luck with your project!
Cracking video, editing and superb presentation.
It shows this liitle car in the exact context of everyday use it was designed for.
Citroen must be as pleased as punch by this sort of coverage.
The car looked really at home in Nice, even if it was a bit rainy.
With Climate change lifting parts of the UK climate I think it would work as an all-year-rounder in the South of the Country and if they did an extended wheelbase version, with uprated power (40-50bhp - think FIAT 500 microbus of old) a bit more range (Sufficient for a week's worth of 10 mile each way commutes) and a modicum of crash protection, I think I'd be sold - 'cause city driving, even in London, isn't always done at sub 10 Mph - ocassionally you may want to travel on a peripherique such as the M25 or a faster urban dual carriagewayn for part of the journey.
Thanks Nicholas. Check out some of our other sunnier videos. We take it to some quite extreme places
I've got a same recall letter from citroen, but Italian written.
My door opened while driving and I wrote a hard email to support.
Did you got the right fuse spares?
Cheers from Italy
No not yet but we must! (Too busy editing to keep the actual show on the road!)
Oh. I saw you drive around in Nice with a small car and that made me curious; there is a small street there called "Av. Gay Prolongée" and somewhere there in a villa shall one famous artist Patrick Moya have a studio, it is a very narrow 'street' and it would be fun to see you navigate the Ami in such narrow areas, and maybe be able to visit the studio. Moya is famous for charity and that he was a "Metaverse artist" 15 years before the term become popular by have a virtual studio and land in Second Life, maybe you can get a tour and also make some Second Life users happy.
And your vidos are very inspirational and I want a Ami now, I live in Sweden where it can be could, but I have biked even in the winter, but age and a knee injurie (biking related at spring) have forced me to look for other ways get around, and a un-isolatet car would work well for me.
Thank you. We know Moyà’s work quite well. It would be great to visit
Regarding cooling in the ami
You could always get a “y” section from the diy store to save cutting 2 holes in the roof Yours sincerely. Barnes Wallace. :-)
Are you two really just casing the joint for some Ian McShane in "Sewers of Gold " style Riviera caper and the small car is big enough to drive in the sewer, accessed through the multi storey.
Now that’s a plot!
I hope you guys are going to swap out the tires at some point for all terrain tires. Elton could use them.
Maybe. Would they reduce range?
@@MeandMonAmi I think you have to test what’s suitable - if you ever want to go off road, there are places you could go with Elton that are unsuitable for cars, like narrow trails. What places in the Riviera are off limits with the stock tires you have?
Did it need a new innersole?
I did wonder if those doors could be take off in Summer.
I think they could
Could you show more about where to charge cheaply or for free in southern France ?? And what apps to use
I can Chris. I think we’ve shown it at various stages in past videos but maybe a dedicated one is due!
@@MeandMonAmi thank you love the ami videos and videos about the small villages you do - visit southern France regularly - Cabris/Grasse area❤️👍👍👍👍
The option to buy you a coffee is not showing up, I thought you might need to know this.
It’s in the description below the video
In Tel Aviv you have more scooters and e-bikes.
We have a lot of ebikes here (including mine)
@@MeandMonAmiLive in the center of Amsterdam, bikes are the only way to go, have an e-bike already 6 years (Riese&Muller Tinker) .. you can see me biking on my channel, but I did not edit or publish the videos yet , thank you that you found time to write to me.. like to see your adventures.
For a recall, the free repair was inconsequential. I would have replaced the passenger side door with a suicide one because I like Citroen 2CV look and they should have made them both to open in the same direction.
Wouldn’t that mean they would have had to produce two different doors?
@@MeandMonAmi I think its the same door positioned differently on the passenger side you would just need to move the hinge to correspond with it on the driver side. Citroen made everything identical to reduce the cost and the rear of the car follows the shape of the front.
@@NormanF62 that’s not how it works, there is only one door produced with the handle on the left as you look at it and the hinge on the right. So it has to open opposites on each side
Hold the front page.
That's the trouble with early adoption. In two minds now re my ami. Pcp will be the way if I do. I still love the quirkiness of them.
I’ve always been a early adopter or member of the bleeding edge as a friend described me
Yep, I’m doing 2 years PCP, if I like it I’ll buy it out or get a new replacement, if I hate it I’ll hand the keys back and walk
Hi do you think there is any way you can remap this car to make it go faster , remapping is fiddling with the electronics .🚗
I’m sure someone will I’ve certainly seen a video with it doing 70 unbridled
The Heavy Rain in Ayrshire is so bad, you can put your swimming trunks on and swim through the air. Ok! I made that up. Very Good, Funny and Informative Episode. I admit I did not know all that about the Ami. You wouldn't believe the trouble I have had trying to find a Scottish Legal Firm to take the Tory Government to The Supreme Court of Scotland. Think I will need to use an English Firm instead.
Thanks Jamie.
In this Total Recall sequel where was Arnie ? 😉
Unavailable!
@@MeandMonAmi
Don’t worry , he’ll be BAAKKKK !
I think it's outrageous how Citroën treated their best channel of advertisement for their Ami.
If this is their VIP treatment, I don't want to imagine how ordinary people are treated.
Just te be clear, I don't actually think this was the VIP treatment, but if Citroën knew a little about their customers, it should have been.
The guy on the desk was very nice but it said in the letter two hours and the man on the phone said two hours and it was 6.
@@MeandMonAmi yes, my moint was mostly about wrong info, and the lack of updates, just expecting you to stand by for a day, without knowing anything.
It would have been better if they promised 8 hours, and you got a message after 6 hour, than to promise 2 hours, basically without update until it was done after 6 hours.
How would they respond, if you said:
You promised to be done in 2 hours.
We prepared stuff to do for 2 hours.
Our business charge an idle fee of X €/h.
You needed 6 hours for the job, that's 4 hours idle.
How do you want to pay?
Of course it doesn't work like that, but I think it is an interesting thaught for an approach to late fee, as long as it's not put into action.
@@MeandMonAmi The primary positive impression I get about their customer service is that every ordinary person gets the same service as a famous UA-camr, after giving them hours of free advertising.
So i guess, there's no need for you to go under cover to get the real deal, because when the flow of information is this bad, it doesn't seem to me like they possibly made any extra effort to look better on camera.
I think it's kind of a good thing that they don't seem to give you special service, while it's not good if this level of information is what you should expect.
When I go to a service center, I want the time estimate to be realistic, not a best case in a million years.
When the actual time is 200% over, their estimate failed miserably.
I rather want a best-worst case interval, than a random number.
If they saied: "it might be done in 2 hours, but possibly 6 or 8, don't wait arround for it." I wouldn't complain (that much).
Then you would better know, if you had to ask for another day, or to have them provide a vehicle for your convenience.
Hi Guys. Do you have the recall number/reference or the part numbers of the pieces they replaced -- both the wheel bits and the lock bits? I don't have these wheel parts and am being told that there is no recall. On a side note and Public Service Announcement, I have been told by Citroen that there is a recall on a 'sticker' for the VIN number as something is incorrect. They gave me no further info, except that mine is on order. Curiously my VIN does not show any results on either the Spanish or French Citroen recall website --- perhaps because the VIN is wrong (hence the recall!). My Ami: In Spain, Manufactured: 29/MAR/21, Delivered: 17/AUG/21.
I don’t but tomorrow I will try to remember to photograph the arch with a sticker on!
Tim not sure how pass on this, Joanna Lumley has a new tv doco here about cities she visits. In Rome she visits an amazing cemetery thats just for non-RC people. Famous poets etc, one sadly beautiful statue and a 2000 year old pyramid. Extremely well looked after trees and hedges etc. You seem to have an interest so figured I would pass this on in case you guys get Ami to Rome.. Laurie NZ.
Thanks Laurie. Noted.
Great video, I researched this issue before I ordered a uk one, amis made before sept 2021 I think it effects,
1. no inner wheel arch guards causing lock barrel sticking issues
2. Water ingress in roof, extra seals needed
3. No diffuser in front air vents to spread the air over windscreens
Some owners invented 3D printable plastic covers to stick over the lock mechanism in the wheel arch to protect it as well as diffusers that push in the dash air vents
Thanks. We took delivery in Nov so ours prob manufactured before then
Nice speaking French. From a French person.
Mr Boo!
We have a friend here in Charente Maritime who doesn’t hold a drivers license of any kind,French or English so could she still buy or lease the Ami?
Yup
@@MeandMonAmi many thanks
Not a recall over the frequent differential failures then? I wonder if they've sorted that yet, and the lack of spares problem regarding differentials.
Whats this all about?
There's always one....
How long do you think the plastic will last?
Dunno. Depends how strong it is I guess?!
Jeezuz “Thumbs up to Len”. Now I feel very very matured. That was a long time ago. In other news, oh the drama.
I nearly edited it out but…
I wonder, why not have the "suicide door" designed to be on the right side of the car ?
That way it would be much less dangerous because most times parking happens in such way that it is "on the safe side" !
Elton having Cosmetic surgery. Who would of thought it. I have found a plus point of the doors. Would let in cool air whilst driving😬
Indeed and yes they would!
You didn’t inform the chap about your door problem(not fully closed)?
Yeaaah could have made you wait till midnight, minimum 🤣
The new locks seem to have helped a lot..
