Our Citroen Ami Battles ANGRY TRUCKER On Hair Raising Drive To L’Escarène. 🇫🇷🚚

[@Keneka]

Another great video. I don’t know how you keep so good spirited you are when tail gated by a huge lorry. I love Mr Boos French facts, Tim’s fearless driving and of course the lovely Twiggy. You’re adventures always put a smile on my face ❤

Tailgated by the lorry had me getting flashbacks to the 70s movie Duel. Great video guys.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Me too but I couldn’t remember the name of the film

[@vikingsystem]

It's tough to be dealing with the pressure of that lorry, like the Duel movie glued to the back. Thankfully, it went to the other side. Medieval villages are truly fantastic, and indeed, when using firewood for heating the houses, the smell of wood permeates the environment, making it something special. The drone images showing the village nestled in the valley are superb, yet another magnificent episode, thank you so much guys.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks very much. Feu de bois! Fabulous

Thank you so much for your channel. We got our Ami today, because of you. My 14 year old daughter drove me to up to Castellar earlier this evening (she's had a few hours practice in Zoe from CER). What a blast the AMI is. Loved the Not the Nine O'clock News reference BTW. PS: you need to come to Menton soon and go to this new patisserie that's opened called Ave - it's incredible (this is not a paid promotion). Preservation orders!! Can't agree more (an old Neville Brody fan here).

Another splendid show. Liking the church and the sub teranium town. Overtaking is the norm over here, it's true what Mr Boo said, they should use the time to take in the sights and sounds around them. We all can be in a hurry but at the end of the day it's not worth worrying about. Once again well done to you and looking forward to another delightful and enriching episode. Best Regards. Sean.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks. Really huge!

[@largedoglover99]

❤ in the early 1980s my car died on the bridge going over to the Bowery in New York City. A big yellow taxi had that bumper that could push me over the bridge and out of the way. That huge truck in your rear view reminded me of how large that taxi was pushing my car.

[@MeandMonAmi]

They used to be quite big those trad cabs!

[@antcullimore3550]

Hi Guys. Another great video. We were watching the drone shots and got to wondering. In these villages the houses were originally built for people who didn't have cars. Maybe some had horses and or wagons. How do the villages fit with today when everyone in the houses would have at least 1 car if not two?

[@MeandMonAmi]

I would say most people in these villages have cars. Some places have underground car parks in the village, some multi storey, some just a simple old car park by the Marie and amazingly some people manage to park very near to their house. They certainly get by.

[@DavidJohnston58]

Really enjoyed that episode, what a lovely old village - Town Whatever it turned out to be. My wife and I missed Mr Boo's property prices, as we lived down there for 11 years and hanker to return. Probably never will at our age but nice to dream and those prices keep the old hopes alive. Maybe one property in each range. Low - Middle - And, Bloody hell! Not a lot of effort and may bring positive results.

[@MeandMonAmi]

We recorded then but they fell on the cutting room floor. It was under €2k a square meter so a decent sized flat for €150l

[@ioakimmakis9288]

One more good video adventure...You have told us that you have not driven a car, you have no driver's licence, so you should know that under certain conditions, it can be harmful to drive a car at lower RPM and very high load. When a car’s engine is working properly, the fuel and oxygen from the air combine by combustion, but if the engine is under high load and wide open throttle, and it’s turning slowly, the fuel/air mixture can reach a state of temperature and pressure where it will spontaneously detonate, and that will create extremely high temperatures and pressures than can melt parts of the engine. So, now you know how the truck driver felt. That is the reason Ami is called a city car. Thank you for your great videos. Take care.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks interesting to know

[@richardbas2948]

Well? Was there an IKEA? 😂 Every time I'm surprised, people living everywhere... Who would have thought to find such a delightful place to eat in a small pittoreske place like that?! Wonderful editing, that drone video! Keep them coming guys ❤️

[@jackoneil3933]

- A bit of truth in your prediction for the hapless Porsche owner Tim. Of the three Bargain Basement Porsches I had, I eventually regretted buying every one. I never bought a three-legged dog, but that might have been a more reliable acquisition. - As for the Bum-Trucker, if you installed a large rubber bumper to Elton's rear frame and and a sign "Impatient? Give a Push", that might be a way to save on some charge and time? - 20:15, When it came to Mr' Boo's Roast Duck lunch, "Wow" came to mind. And as for your Steak Tarter Tim, no doubt a good fridge makes the meal, but is that 'Mad Cow' thing still a thing? - L’Escarène, looks a great place to hang out for a weekend. I saw a few Gîtes that looked and one by the river you passed by one that was 380€ per week. If you had time It would be interesting to meet some local Gîte owner and get a quick look at what's available, and if some owner might provide you a stay for sharing their locale would be interesting to get your take on what it's like to stay in fairy-tale villages. I really enjoined loved the low-level flight past the chapel and over the roof tops Not sure if there's restrictions on how low you can drone in France but it's a perspective I don't see other drone vloggers doing. Looking down into the village from low-level, was unique and fun, and for a moment reminded me of a ride I took over L.A. with a Sheriff's Deputy in a police Helicopter. After being shot-down twice, he kept just above rooftops to present less of a target that provided an epic and at times voyeuristic glimpses into people's lives and backyards, like a glimpse of man and wife having an argument and the husband knocking the wife off her feet just as we passed overhead. Thanks again for the magical moments, Bon Bourage! - Restez chargé!

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks Jack. We are hoping that next year we can get a few more stays so we can do some longer trips without breaking the bank or drone. We have a new sticker for the back of the car coming but its taking a while!

[@DV80s]

Ha ha, you should watch the movie Duel from 1971. It will make you paranoid about semi trucks :P It's like the first Spielberg film, although it was a TV film.

[@MeandMonAmi]

I remember it! Great film

[@NormanF62]

L’Escarene is ons of those mountain towns that disappears into its surroundings! Well worth the trip there and apart from the truck road rage incident, the journey there was uneventful. The L’Union Cafe dishes looked homemade and reasonably priced given the generous portions served. I would think Elton made it home on regenerative charging and it’s too bad the only charger in town was inaccessible. What a pity! No mountain village challenge is complete without knowing if an Ami’s autonomy is capable of being sufficiently recovered, so we’ll have to see how it turned out. Thanks for another spectacular November Sunday outing and see you guys again next weekend! 😊

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks Norman. I did put the result at the end of the video I think

[@NormanF62]

You did make it back with 8 km of range to spare and could recharge Elton in the city. Sometimes you do need to make it back on what you’ve got! Mountain driving can offer that safety margin with an EV.

[@nicholasroberts6954]

Wonderful video, beautiful village. Elton needs one of those levers that is found in the cab of the Bat Mobile,... Which when actuated, releases the substance that the French Farmers most frequently use to decorate any seat of regional government that incurs their displeasure. Alternatively, you could contract with someone that suffers from regular bouts of a gastro-intestinal COVID variant and have him perched on the roof rack. Then, three knocks on the cabin roof and viola you immediately acquire 100 metres of unoccupied space between Elton and his followers. A touch of Jim Carey? Tailgating, still seems to be a thing in France.. Whereas it doesn't seem to be so prevalent in contemporary UK. In France, it always seems to be the firms and public bodies vehicles (Especillay small lorries) that do it, not private cars. Something to do with differences in liability?

In quite a few of your videos you do not show the details on how and where you charge, if you use a type2 adaptor and so on… It would be great if you included this info in your videos. Also, how come you haven’t taken off the 45km limiter? I did that, and now can get easily to 60+ km/hr and can go anywhere, even on the highway’s right lane, without causing problems with traffic jamming up behind me. Keep up the great work!👍

hey first of all nice video, im a 22 year old üniversity student in turkey and i am considering buying an ami. my question is: in turkey they do chip tuning for the ami for more topend speed like 70 or some times 80 kmh. do you think this is worth wasting the guarantee and taking the risk that the battery pack may mibe having a shorter lifetime or just keep the tune out of my head.

I think you should buy it for what it is not what is isn’t. But it’s your quad!

....well, hard to imagine for some people: But there actually are other people whose job involves sticking to a schedule. It thus takes quite a bit of narcissism to think that slowing a truck down from 80km/h to 45km/h over a longer stretch of road is funny.

[@Cayres9]

On politics i liked David Cameron he did a really good job getting UK finances back on track but then what happens ? He resigned over Brexit and a total Clown comes to power Bojo the Clown and goes on a spending spree , here we had a thing called Furlough which meant for 2 years people were paid full wages to stay at home lol madness total madness , so now we have gone from having a surplus in 2016 when Cameron resigned to now having a $1 trillion dollar debt ,anyway that truck was scary reminds me of that movie Duel where a crazy truck driver chases a little red car in the desert lol

“Take time to reflect” 😊 As a former lorry driver it’s safer for him to drive slower but I’m not enjoying his following distance or lack of it. Don’t let those behind you affect your safe driving. 😉 You’re in charge. 💙🤍❤️ In the old days folks would help the lorry driver unload if he was blocking the road like she was in her car. “Community” you might say. Something in short supply most places.
