I could have sworn I saw a clear hint of blueshift when Elly was approaching the Absolute Limit of 80mph. A lovely series, Ian, very enjoyable and well presented. Have a well-deserved rest together with Elly, but do keep 'em coming!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I thoroughly enjoyed your videos. It makes me want to go and get a 2CV. It was a very smart idea not to 'force yourself' to post everyday. After all, the trip was all about having fun. cheers
I think what makes the whole "road trip" fun and exciting is the ability to discover new interesting towns/cities along the way. But when most people are making the return trip they are just eager to get home at that point and it appears to be all highway travel with no exploration. Honestly I never get tired of watching Hubnut's travels but even I want to see him get home to Wales at this point. 😁
Looking at the highways in Europe remind me of the highways here in New York State! Only the vehicles are different. Somehow, I enjoyed watching the highways as well!
Hello, I am German and I remember my 2CV 25 Years ago. I put out all seats except for the driver seat, to fit a mattress, for which I had to remove the driver seat at night. One night I slept at a beach near Venice with the roof open. Then it started raining and I closed the roof. Back in my cosy, world smallest RV I suddenly saw all the people, of whom I was not aware of, fleeing form the rain. It was a very romantic adventure. Say Hy to Elly and good luck to you. By the way mine drove 130 km/h. It was a 2CV6 Charleston in grey. Kristian
What a tremendous adventure! I’ve fully enjoyed every kilometer/mile...even the ones that weren’t exactly ‘paragon’...I was on the edge of my seat for the entire journey! You are truly RUclips’s greatest motoring raconteur; thanks for letting us all tag along! Glad to know you and Elly are safely home! Time now to relax... Well done...so many memories made!
This has been a great series. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Great scenery, good humour, lots of Citroens and not forgetting Ellie. Brilliant stuff.
According to a following Montego, I got 86 out of my 602cc Beachcomber downhill on the M5... (no new engine required, but in later years the geabox would get jammed in just one gear.)
An Epic drive home. You made it look easy but to travel across Europe, back across the Channel and then drive a very long and monotonous route through England on our hectic motorways to the valleys of Wales is a trial of endurance. As you approached home on familiar roads in fresh air with no pollution in anticipation of a proper cup of Tea on arriving. Well done Ian
Thank you so much Ian for all the entertainment you've provided me with. I felt like I was there in the passenger seat with you. You're some operator! And to do all that without a radio!? Wow!
Great that you have both made it back safely! I’d completely forgotten about Ellys pre trip engine issues! She’s performed brilliantly! Was a nice bonus to see TWC! Glad all is well with a new plug! Hope you get some time to relax and enjoy a few cups of tea at home (they are always the best ones👍) Thanks for sharing you great adventure with us! I’ve loved every minute😀
I am absolutely astonished that such an old and basic car has done you so proud taking you across Europe. Very inspirational, well done Elly! and it was a real pleasure for us watching you both on this trip :)
Thankyou Ian. I have really enjoyed watching these videos from your trip. I never realised that there were so many 2CV's in the world. An absolute top job!
The travelling without the coming home just would not be the same. Yin and Yang, empty and full, work and holiday, rain and sun ... 'you needs your contrasts'! Thanks for the vicarious travel fun, Ian.
I felt like I was personally accompanying you every step of the way on that journey. The way you filmed and presented the whole endeavour was perfect.......second to none. What an absolutely fantastic experience and a big Thank You for sharing. I actually felt quite emotional as you boarded the ferry back home.
Welcome home. What a trek! I'm sure I speak for many viewers when I say many, many thanks for sharing your adventure with us. It's been fascinating to see all those amazing places and such a variety of cars too. Congratulations on a great series.
Well done Mr HubNut for getting home safely and to Elly for achieving 80mph! Thank you so much for sharing your epic adventures with us, it has been such fun being your passenger. I may well watch the whole series through again now! I too look forward to seeing YOU in a future video! PTCHOOO! #2CVTOCROATIA
Greatest series of road vlogs I´ve ever seen. When you worked on the car short before leaving, I thought you won´t make it even to the ferry. But you made it twice! Respect for your bravery and thanks for sharing.
Danke schön, Ian. It was an adventure for me to watch your videos in Arizona, with 110 F in the shade, seeing all the wonderful scenery of Europe. Keep up the good work and I look forward to you next videos!
Thanks Ian for sharing your trip with us. I have enjoyed watching every minute. I'm glad you got home safely without any major mishaps. Looking forward to your next video :)
It was an entertaining and informative road trip series. Finished binge watching from the beginning. Thanks for sharing yours and Elly's road adventure. Fun fun fun!
Absolutely bloody fantastic Ian. What an awesome video to end with, the Minis, the ferry crossing and not very flashy flashers!. Thank you SO much for sharing ALL of this. Its been wonderful, and I've watched every second with pleasure. Well done Elly! :)
Great ending of an epic journey. You showed how much more fun it is to take the backroads in a slower vehicle. I saw many returning 2CVs, even with trailers, on my way back from Italy to NL. I spotted they almost all had removed the side covers to improve cooling.
Loved your adventure across Europe, couldn't wait for RUclips to notify me about your next leg of your trip and now you are back in the UK, thank you for letting me go on your adventure it was fantastic.
Absolutely amazing. 5 weeks touring. Watching the videos of your adventure has really been entertaining. Thanks for taking us along Ian. Really does take some hubnuts to do that journey.
1 pair of pants left....Welcome Home and well done Ellie you are a LEGEND xxxx ,and thank you Ian for sharing your journey.We loved every minute of it ........ :)
Thank you so much for an amazing series of videos Ian!!! Glad you and Ellie are home safe and well done to both of you :) I've really enjoyed every second of the Croatia road trip and thanks for taking us along on your adventure. So many amazing cars and stunning locations!!! Looking forward to more HubNut travel videos. You make a great travel guide with your warmth and sense of humour :) Thanks for keeping HubNut so real, down to earth and enjoyable :)
An epic video for an epic adventure Ian. Pleased you both made it home safely. Just for your interest. 1968, no speed limit, and I had a 1961 Mini with a tuned engine. So I WAS one of the first boy racers in a Mini. So pleased to see you're keeping up the tradition 😊😊👍
Congratulations & welcome home what a fantastic trip you made. Excellent videos . Really enjoyed all the places you visited and rallies you went too. Looking forward to what you do next, after a good rest, take care ........... .
What a brilliant adventure to watch Ian. It's been one of the best RUclips videos ive ever watched. Many thanks for sharing all of this, as its certainly brightened up my days seeing you and Elly travelling across Europe 👍🚗👍
Welcome home Ian and Elly,what an epic trip from touch and go before you left,and nice to see the family when you got back as you left them,its been good following you on this journey every day or so, have a well earned rest and until the next time .....ptssst
Glad you're back Ian (Hubnut) and look forward to more epic engineering fails. Thanks for all your efforts to keep the trip documented and hope that despite the self imposed deadlines....... you have had a ball.

Welcome home Hubnut. It's been great watching your trip.
Stick some Audi badges on, no one will notice the lack of indication then.
Any German car badge in fact in my experience!
@@garymills6702 Sadly true
@@deadmeat6563 Or Nissan, in my experience - Jukes are the worst.
Or perhaps Ford badges - everyone will just assume that it's broken and make allowances ;-)
@@linseyyoung1772 How very dare you take that back immediately.
An epic journey. Enjoyed riding with you all the way.

How do I give this whole adventure video series a quadruple "thumbs up"?. Brilliant!,start to finish.
16 videos in 5 weeks, it has been a great adventure to go along with you. Thank you.
Thank you Ian and Elly for taking us on this fantastic journey :-)
It has been an absolute joy watching the adventures of Elly during this amazing trip. And having met you twice was a bonus. ;-) Well done Elly!
What a tremendous adventure!

80mph in a 2cv bet you felt like chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier
A new engine will be in order when you arrive home.
According to a following Montego, I got 86 out of my 602cc Beachcomber downhill on the M5...
(no new engine required, but in later years the geabox would get jammed in just one gear.)
The saddest thing is a 600cc Turbo Smart car will only go 89mph , progress they call that lol
What an entertaining series. Congrats to you and Elly on the great adventure. Thank you for taking us along. Cheers.
Thanks so much for taking us! I didn't want it to end! What fun!
Fantastic road trip Ian well done to you and especially Elly, I enjoyed every moment of it

Thanks for letting us come along for the trip!
Thank you Ian, been great being with you and Elly on your adventure.
Memories of my childhood, 1960s. Many of these cars on the streets of Buenos Aires- Argentina- thank you!
Love that you're not afraid of giving Elly the Welly !!
... or of dying horribly.....!!
Excellent diary of a trip, thankyou! Inspires me to drive a 2CV again:)
Thanks Ian - as many others have said, really enjoyed your trip and appreciate that you took the time to record it for us.
Huge thanks for taking us along with you on this epic adventure

Nice to see you back safe and well Ian.....👍
What an epic journey - it has been a pleasure to be a "virtual passenger". Looking forward to the next adventure, what ever it night be.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching 2CV to Croatia, amazing road trip. 👌😎
Great ending of an epic journey. You showed how much more fun it is to take the backroads in a slower vehicle. I saw many returning 2CVs, even with trailers, on my way back from Italy to NL. I spotted they almost all had removed the side covers to improve cooling.
Fantastic to share the trip and get acquainted with some of your fleet at the end too! Nice one!
What a trip Ian loved every minute of it Ellie will need a big present for her hard work ,extraordinary achievement .
Loved your adventure across Europe, couldn't wait for RUclips to notify me about your next leg of your trip and now you are back in the UK, thank you for letting me go on your adventure it was fantastic.
