    All kidding aside, you guys have to get with a TV show. The fact I have been watching for a few years and sit here in the US on a Sunday morning watching proves there is an audience. You have everything people are after. Travel, food, a little comedy and most of all just a great vibe. I remember when the subscriber count was like 10k. Have a great trip.

    We have enjoyed all your videos and thank you so much for the personal video you sent me before Christmas.
    So many things I wouldn’t have done without your information on places to visit.
    We have done the bike shed in London and many more places we would never have known about.
    I think there’s nothing like being a biker all the great places you can visit and all the lovely people you meet on the way .

    Hi Freddie and Monika. I've just got back from a trip to exactly where you are heading. My brother and I flew into Marrakech and hired two KTM's and travelled through the Atlas mountains to Mazouga. The roads you will find are second to none, they are brilliant, and littered with cheap, good hotels serving wonderful food. Hope you like tajine. Looking forward to watching the rest of this series, and let me know if you want any recommendations on where to stay. Safe travels.

    Well you did it to me once again Freddie. It’s 5:30 Sunday morning, and I’m sitting here waiting on a snow and ice storm to hit. With temperatures to get down to 0 this week. And your out having a big old time going to warm Morocco. The on,y thing that makes up for that is knowing the money your gonna spend on gas to get the Jeep there and back is gonna be crazy 😜. A bit of advice Freddie. Don’t mistreat that Jeep engine. I can’t believe you didn’t get an oil change before you went. I’m telling ya it’s not the Fiat. Have you ever changed the tranny, and transfer case fluids? Plus both front and rear differential fluids? It never hurts to carry some tools and a high lift jack in a Jeep. Just in case. Well whatever happens you won’t starve to death eating that “cat food” lol monica he would be lost without you.

    Freddie, it absolutely was "un pain au chocolat". It is just that in South-West France, they call it "chocolatine" (feminine word, une chocolatine). Have fun with the trip! I'll cross my fingers that you do find a proper and reliable mechanic in Morocco for the oil change and that Monica does not have to experience more "adventure" than she is comfortable to take 🤞

    I love driving in Spain , beautiful and well maintained roads, no need to pay tolls cos even the double carriage ways are far better than UK motorways, shops along the roads are clean and prices of food are very reasonable but worse than UK is France , speed cameras everywhere, horrendos prices, roads are a mess, using motorways is expensive and not really cheap places to eat .

      I agree. It would be lovely to see Monika. Unsure as to whether she doesn’t want to appear in front of the camera or whether Freddie just wants it to be about him !! We did used to see her, e.g. when shopping for a ladies bike jacket but even in that episode Freddie dominated. I get that the channel is Freddie Dobbs but it seems like Monika is treated more like a camerawoman/assistant than a partner !!

Those long days had to be torture. You must keep up on the jeep's maintenance better. If you think the Bonnie 's repair bill was expensive, I'm guessing Jeep's bill would be much higher.

    We now live in Brittany and are doing a similar trip, west coast France, north & west coast Spain, west coast Portugal, south coast Spain, back through France. For the whole of February. No plans of where to stop yet but max of 4 hours per day driving. No shame on those who can't afford time or money to do a trip like this, it's a personal choice. Morocco maybe next year (I'll have to convince the wife after she watch a Morocco video with Flash floods and everything in it). But to see the Sahara with your/our own eyes...
