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".

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.

(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.

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 🤓👍🏻

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
