Luke - My wife and I watched your series as we prepared for our vacation in Sicily, and as we’ve now traveled from Trapani to Sciacca to Noto and Taormina we’ve been inspired by your tour. Your series was beautifully photographed, and we remain in awe of how you did all the camera work during the trip and how you managed to keep all the equipment in that little Ape. We only wish that the weather this May was as nice as it was for you during your adventure.

World class from start to finish, amazing personality very smart and down to earth, voice over at utter perfection and some of the history narrated I never knew, amazing drone shots and authenticity of the Sicilian way of life portrayed at its best. The Ape kept us all excited till the end, this series felt like a high budget national geographic documentary, truly keep it up! We want more of this content!!

Hi Luke! i've just "bing watched" the whole serie and must say i love it. in the past 25 years i've been in Sicily at least 10 times, or even more, can't exactly remember. I love Sicily and the Sicilians, very great people. I'm from the very north of Italy but i'm living in Rome now for 40 years: Find out your channel because yesterday i had the pleasure to meet your parents here and i drove them around in Rome with a Golf Cart (hope they've enjoyed it!) and they told me about you. May one day on my next trip to Sicily we will meet there. Go on like that, really great, love it😃🤗

Well, it looks to me like your Ape has a fuel system problem .. if there is a bit of rust in the tank sooner or later it will clog the fuel filters or get into the carb and clog the jets .. its simple to fix (clean) but you need a bit of mechanic skills and a few tools. Hope it's all fixed by now :))

@@LukeRenard Thanks mate! I was wondering if your engine issues for the later part of the trip were just related to fueling....I was going to guess a clog as well as it bogging down and dying just seemed like it wasn't getting enough gas! Glad it was an easy fix and that he little guy is back on the road again! What year and model is yours again? A P-series? 600 or 700? I think a larger, later Ape TM with the steering wheel option would be what I would want to go for, though I think the model you have had that option as well later in it's production run! :) Cheers!
