😂😂😂 I was expecting you to check it on CarVertical
Ha ha 😂
😂
I know who should buy this.... Pete And His Bus 😂😂
Matt forgot! Normally he's a lot more responsible than that. I'm shocked! 😮
It came in as a Limo Cadillac.
Welcome to the new High peaks courtesy car 🤣
With the current economic woes,
This is soon to be
DELUXE 👍😊🤔
😂😂😂
😂
Perfect replacement for the little chevrolet spark 😂
@@rickreese5794 hahahah "due to budget restrictions, it's this or a bus pass"
That Vivaro driver behind you had the patience of a saint 😂
He was trying to buy an alcoholic slush 😅
That was his brother folks
@@lennartengel1971 no, his brother was driving the BMW in front lol
😂😂😂😂
Plot twist; he bought it just to keep it off the road.
Thats it!!
This man needs to be stopped😂🤣
😂
This must be the funniest High Peak video so far. I wonder what tires are on it, Pirelli all around, or Landsail?
At least they'll be matching on the front!
😂
I think a challenge drive to Scotland is on the cards with this one!
What about a nice drive to its home country Italy? That would be a blast! ;-)
More chance with an Invocar LOL
In reverse gear ...
I think it would be more of a challenge to drive in scotland rather than to it. The roads are crap and full of potholes, the roads in Fife where i live are probably the worst in scotland. It will get stuck in a pothole LOL. Rumour has it if you look into a Fife pothole you will see an Australian peering back up.
Funniest one yet. Excellent. Laughed out loud when you pointed out it didn't have a reversing camera.
The Ape is one of the only vehicles that comes with rust straight from the factory ;) We had one at work as well as a promo vehicle. A coworker and I changed out the cylinder with an online tutorial to increase the top speed a bit. Great fun
"We're flying now, doing 11mph" 🤣
A tuk-tuk? I swear I've never click on a notification so fast 😂
Should change the sign writing to Royal Snail 😅
There's a guy with an old escort van with sierra cosworth running gear and about 600hp with that livery on it 😂
I worked for the co-op in the late 60s in Northumberland and they were known there as Daleks.
A Tuk-tuk??? Matt is on spending spree here!
Speed. Not a tuk-tuk mate. Peugeot.
Ah, the sound of Sicily in the heat in the afternoon after siesta!
Just need the cicadas amd heat now and I’m back in Siracusa again.
Wonderful piece of engineering making it’s way through the narrow cobbles.
Great vid, thanks!
Ha - loved the drive - reminded me of the experience I have driving my grandfather’s 1932 BSA FW32 car. About 12bhp, 3 forward gears (no synchro), no mirrors, brake and accelerator pedals swapped positions - and LOADS of attention and a riot to drive.
Saw the notification, Matt driving a Tuk Tuk was all it took 😂
*it was all it took took
All it took took!!
I wasn't expecting you to buy one of _those_
Next week: Matt buys a Horse & Buggy.
Watch as he tries to figure out how to check the engine! 😆
Thanks, I have seen young Italians racing these things around a car park on 2 wheels. Not really a properTuk Tuk, but very interesing vehicle.
I have done many miles in India in a Tuk Tuk, in Delhi they were converted to run on CNG, compressed natural gas, to reduce pollution.
It’s a first!!! You didn’t massively overspend 😀😀😀😀 I love it 😀😀
Paint it Black & Orange.... Use it as an Advertising vehicle around town, with your logo on the sides. Perhaps hand out free High Peak stickers to children.
Bag yourself a bargain and Tuk Tuk into High Peak autos!!!
Why children
Hand out sweets to children instead....🤣🤣
@@anticydelol
@@anticydeit gives them good memories and become future customers
You absolutely cannot ever sell that, Matt, that’s a keeper, I love it! 🙌🏼
Bloody amazing haven’t laughed so much in ages great for transport well done.
Glad you enjoyed it
Matt another weird and wacky video. Always entertaining buddy 👌👍
Thanks 👍 I try
Brilliant! That was a bit like Matt’s first driving lesson 😂. To be fair, I’ve never seen you smile so much on a test drive 😃
A roadtrip back to Piaggio factory in Italy🤔....maybe🤣🤣
hes gone mad lol
"Postman Matt, Postman Matt, Postman Matt and his black and white cat!" Lol😂
Matt, I was convinced you would have moved to my old home town of Wilmslow or Mobberley way. I had never heard of Compstall,sorry about that. After that great Vlog I should think the house prices have rocketed. I'm happy living down here near Biarritz but you did Compstall proud. Well done again mate, pleasure plus.
No buffing out required, no new number plates, no expensive garage bill and no massive overspend!!! Now there's a rare thing. Great video, thanks.
Creaking video, Matt (haha). Was the music Madonna singing Materia Girl? So good to see a modern man putting in a key into a lock to open a car. Brilliant vehicle, a whole Italian family would travel in one of these. I have been following them for years. Such a lot of capacity for so little power. Takeoff is like the countdown to a spaceship launch. Marvellous video. Great to see these being driven in the UK. The speeds you are going, it must be like driving in London. Pulling over to let that van past might have been a nice thing to do. Well done.
Love this 😀 i could use this for my window cleaning business but put me ladders on and reach and think might stuggle to move it 😂😂. Great coffee van 😀
Nice, now you have a suitable replacement for your Range Rover that has indian roots as well.
😂😂😂😂
😅👍
A win win for Mat then
Piaggio is Italian. I don't get the Indian part of it.
The smile on your face was well worth it.
I really did not expect this today 🤣. These are so rare in the UK, you're the first channel I've seen with one!
I never realised they existed outside India.
there’s a bloke on youtube in the UK which swapped the engine in one of these with a 180bhp suzuki haysbusa superbike engine! road legal as well
I lived in Ibiza for 20 years and it was quite a 'normal' vehicle for people to move around in. But nevertheless it made me smile to see one again
12:48 -- Nice homage to the (arguably) last of the old-school entertainers, "The Chuckle Brothers"... I miss them...
Great video. He reminds me of the Inspector Clouseau car where he's trying to get information, but his brakes fail, and he rolls backwards into a swimming pool
I just tuned in. Matt, you've finally gone crazy! Love it!
Good drive.
When stepping down gears to slow down, you need never go back to first gear.
It is not a tuk-tuk. It is an Piaggio Ape. I had a P2. That was bigger. A 2 seater with a 4 on the floor, 350 cc, normal steering wheel and it did 70 kph. LOL.going in 2nd in reverse was scary ( 35-40 kph ). Lots of fun in that old pickup. The 5 grand you paid is a lot though.
Matt masquerading as the 2024 version of the orangeman in the Tango adverts frim the late 1990s, looked great fun 😂
Matt, thank you SO much for this. After the day I've had this was just what I needed. 0 to 60 mph? You have got to be joking! Lol. It's not very often one encounters a vehicle louder and slower than a Citroen 2CV but I think we have it here! Delightfully hilarious!
There was a brief trend late 00s these were used as taxis in town centres to get you from pub to pub.
The posties looked bewildered when you passed them at 16:41 probably thought you'd come to help them out 😂 great video as always 👍
Hi Matt well done on this one you choose the right roads to show it,s top speed . Well done profit in this one defo
I wonder what the man in the silver van was thinking 🤣🤣Really glad you brought it. Love the videos and content.
I need to see this Matt 😂
And I want one
There’s a company in Birmingham that does taxi rides in tuc tucs it’s great! You should keep this!
the smile on your face has never been better! Your kind of vehicle for sure....................
You should see can you get an electric enclosed adult trike next. Great little machine's. I have one, and it goes a lot faster than 8mph, lol. Much more comfy, too, and better equipped.
The Tuk Tuk is Matt’s new company vehicle!!! Low on fuel, low tax and typical self-deprecating style….❤
Can the NCAP safety rating people award minus stars!? Love it🤓
Looking forward to the 'I'm going to drive this one down to Spain' video already
Sounds like my R reg piaggio zip I had when i was 16. That was a speedy ped. Brings back good memories.
Wonderful modern classic which I have seen in many cities, usually as a coffee van. Also for ice cream and even for its original purpose as a delivery van. The coffee van in Saarbrucken beat them all by having a black matching model of itself on the table alongside.
Absolutely brilliant ,this must be the best " post " you have done.I thought that van that was following you was the backup support for you carrying all the necessary gear to keep you going in case of any mechanical problems on you trial run. Also, the scenery was good and made a change from your normal locations. Well done for an enjoyable post.
That was a really cool review. I think if they offered one slightly larger and with a steering wheel and proper gear shifter and pedals, it would make an excellent city vehicle.
Park it next to the Wondergrip van and let's see what happens. Could be a wonderful romance 😂.
There’s a whole motor racing series for these things, and it is pretty spectacular.
You never stop souprise with your ideas 🤣that was funny 😁
Great video again Matt 👏 👍
Regards
In Denmark it's full of them, driving as coffe-machines. And yes, they are wonderfull small smile'baskets.
Absolutely brilliant and funny vid Matt. On biz trips to Far East and India my workmate and I used to do Tut Tut racing paying the driver increasingly more amounts of money to go faster, great fun. A minor point I would have painted the front grey mudguard the same body colour Postman red as rest of vehicle though.
Dropped a car off today and thought WTF then did a walk around and what great little car/scooter . France/ Italy here we come LOL also nice paint job 👍👍👍👍Jim J=MG
Haha cheers Jim
Love it 👌❣️
Not sure if Calvin’s car diary’s beats this I like the look of yours looks more reliable
you can double its value if you fill the jerry can up LOL.........the van driver behind thought you were full of alcoholic slush when trying gearchanges :)
Would make a great little water fed pole window cleaning van or a coffee van at car boot sales
Or HIGH PEAK ICE CREAM 😂
@@kawasakiman8965 ....if it had a freezer in the back its max mph would be 4 LOL
15:35 reminds me of a 2010 ford mondeo automatic that my fam used to have it always used to do that 😂
So cool !!!!!!!!! I remember riding on the back of one of these in mountains of Northern Italy. Now you can offer highpeak coffee on the move. Best vehicle I've seen you review.
Great strategy, saying yes to everything. And if it does all go wrong you can get a job with Delmonte!
You never fail to entertain, Matt. Postman Matt, you ain't. As a regular visitor to India where I see these all the time, it's strange for one to be on British roads. In case you wanted a BEV, there is actually an electric motor variant of these.
How would you see this Italian thing in India? This is not a tuk-tuk.
a trip around the highlands of scotland in the tuk tuk for comic relief would be a goodun
Looks like there is a lovely new litter bin outside Compstall village store as well 😂
It sounds like a two stroke engine-so don't forget it has to have 2stroke mixture for the fuel. 😉
You need a 12v electric fan to help air circulation.
I live in the Philippines and have a similar tuk-tuk truck based on a 200cc motor bike with a flat bed. I use it for hauling soil, gravel, etc around the grounds ( 1.5 acres) and collecting the papaya, mangos etc at home.
A very useful work horse.
I wasn't expecting to laugh this much 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 brilliant content 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking about how it reminded me of the van version of the new Twizzy. Looks like fun.
Rumour has it that Matt has finally found his dream car and that the Range Rover is up for sale!
I loved the video Matt! It's obvious that you have never driven a scooter before which made it even more funny!!
Omg! That 😂was hilarious 😂😂It would look great with High Peak Autos in the advertising panels. Brilliant video Matt. Having to be pushed to turn round was funny.
I had a 1988 Citroen 2cv. Real head turner, and great fun to drive. Always put a smile on my face too.
Hahaha, Matt didn't stop smiling 😂 what a change of vehicle that was, brilliant 👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it
Have to agree, rare to see a vid where Matt grinning like the Cheshire Cat half of the time 😸
We have one at work as stone masons it’s fantastic going round church yards and cemeteries fitting head stone’s as bigger vehicles can’t get keep it on your car pitch attract customers 😊
Bet the guy in the van was also happy sat behind you at the dizzining heights of 11mph as well!!! 😂😂 Still what a little minter!! 😃😃👍👍
😂Brilliant! The Vivaro was happy to sit behind you at 11mph 😂😂😂
It’s put the biggest smile on your face, that’s why people buy them. 👍👍👍👍
They are basically a vespa van they have a 2 stroke engine like a vespa .. you get used to the gear change ..I had vespas 40 years I love it
Great advice, in business you must take risks and move forward 👍🏻
Absolutely awesome v log wasnt expecting that 😂😂.. you've set the bar now to purchase something even more outlandish if that's even possible 😂
awesome video, they race them in Italy, Guy Martin did one up and went put an had a go
A high peak auto promo vehicle!
you could put your adverts in the holders and drive round the village doing your errands!
Matt, mate you are absolutely awesome, love the videos every week, I miss the good old British slang and makes me wanna come home !!! Keep these videos coming Matt !!! Bloody great 👍
Thanks 👍
A great replacement for your Range Rover daily driver. Perfect for the John O' Groats run.
You are a very brave man Matt. I'd be terrified to drive this.
First thing I thought was Clarkson in the Peel P50 TG episode...Classic👍🙂
If the 2 doors were easily removable it would make a cool summer shopper.
Hubnut would love that, lol
So cool. Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Have a good week. Marc from Australia 🇦🇺
You purchased it because it is quirky and can be useful at festivals etc etc I think its a fun vehicle gear cables probably need adjustment reminds me of my youth and my passion for Lambretta's
I wonder if we will see this again and again in the next garage tour videos...😂
Was in Sri Lanka in February and used the Tuk Tuk taxis to get around the locale. It is an ‘experience’ not to be missed especially as they don’t appear to bother with a Highway Code.
I think you should drive it down to Spain😊
.. and then retire.
