Monika and I headed off on a ride and within two minutes I’d spotted a sight so rare, it’s an almost non existent sight in the UK- an Autobianchi A112 Abarth! This little Italian car was Autobianchi’s answer to the Mini and it really is a special sight to see it on the road as an every day car!
We then headed off for brunch at Pistacho in Los Cristianos. We highly recommend this spot- great food, very healthy and with a great atmosphere!
Over a coffee, I chat about an app that I’m a huge fan of- Readly. It allows me to keep reading all of my favourite motorcycle magazines, and magazines in general, while in Tenerife- all from my phone.
After that, we fire up the Triumph Bonneville and head over to the Playa El Duque beach. This is my favourite beach in Tenerife because of its white sand, turquoise water, very safe and lots of amenities. After that, we ended the day with a beer in Plaza el Duque shopping centre.

Lovely to see such an enthusiastic person showing the wonders of Tenerife. I'm from the island and I've been living in London for over 10 years, it warmed my heart. Thank you!
Your cinematography on the beach with that Bond-esque music was very impressive. I think you should receive some money from the Tenerife department of tourism for your amazing promotion of their island!
Thank you so much- I would love that!🇪🇸🇮🇨😀
The beach is stunning. In fact most of tenerife looks stunning.
Monika always has a beaming smile across her face it's lovely!
The cafés there look very good
It really is a beautiful island, with really good coffee shops!👌🏻☕️🏝
Monika is pretty much always smiling!😀
Hello again Freddie and Monica.
The Autobianchi was really quite a popular car in Tenerife during the 90's. Maybe, if you're lucky, that won't be the only one you see still driving around here.
Clarify that the sand of Playa del Duque is from the area. It was simply introduced from the interior of the sea towards the beach. The only beach with sand brought from outside (specifically from the Sahara) is Las Teresitas beach (in Santa Cruz).
Electric car chargers are not yet as common on the island, as gas stations are. But they do exist in most shopping centers, paid parking lots and some for public use.
The architecture of some of the hotels that you have been able to see in the Duque area is not German, it is Canarian architecture.
I recommend you try the Dorada Especial (black label), it is much better than the Pilsen.
Keep enjoying Tenerife.
All the best.
Hahaha Freddie, your reaction to the A112 was priceless.
You started a whole tiny car documentary in the episode.
Sat with a cup of tea and a mince pie, feet up watching you riding the roads of Tenerife. Great little vlog.
Loving the music and the filming.
I had a Ducati Monster, I would not have a Ducati again, I traded it in for a Triumph Speed Triple which I would have again.
We got out on the T100 today, went to Northleach for Coffee and cake.
Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Ride safe.
Thanks Shane! That’s very interesting- the amount of people who have had similar Ducati experiences to you is eye opening!
Thanks for the insight and I hope you had a great ride!🙂🤘🏻
Love it Freddie, lots of holidays to Tenerife as a young boy so remember my Dad drinking Dorada beer! Very jealous of you and Monica…
Thank you for another great video Freddie & Monica
Brilliant Freddie, just love your excitement, I did love the Abath, and yes it does look pretty gloroius
Thanks Peter!🙂
Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thanks Freddie and Monica
As always very enjoyable and entertaining thank you 👍
A relaxing v log
Lovely music
Thanks for all the efforts you both DO 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Enjoy
Thank you Jamal!🙌🏻🙌🏻
Another great blog Freddie and Monika . The content of great weather , scenery and interesting facts are a great antidote to the colder and wet weather setting in here in Britain . Look forward to the next one 👍
Fantastic vlog Freddie love the content and style, brilliant!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Another great blog fella can't wait for the next one
Thanks so much Phil!
Freddy so passionate 🤣 great to see. Happy I found the channel. Regards from Australia.
Hi again Freddie and Monika. Another brilliant vlog which has confirmed our visit to Tenerife next year. Normally we’re not beach fans but without doubt would visit that beautiful one. We’re definitely taking notes on what to visit when we come.
I’d love to know if you got an answer to your ‘Abarth letter ‘ 😂 loved your enthusiasm and, yes, this time it was immaculate.
Monika does a brilliant job of camera and editing. The music choice is 100%.
So jealous as we have just put the winter duvet on 😳🥲
David n Edward
So glad you enjoyed it!🙂
You’ll love Tenerife- so much to see away from the beaches too👌🏻
I kept getting waylaid so am off to buy some paper and post the letter to the Autobianchi owner today!
I do get very carried away (often to Monika’s embarrassment!😆)
a nice video again.
Good to see Monika smile :-)
btw, congrats on the editing style. i love it
OMG that’s been my mum’s car for ages!! I’ve heard so many stories about it, a real legend!
Noooo way!!!! What a car to own!😍😍😍
Thanks for another great video…you are fast becoming one of my favourite RUclipsrs 👍🇬🇧😎
I’m so happy to hear it, thank you Alan!🙌🏻🙌🏻
Freddie I love, and share your passion for classic cars and bikes. It is increasingly rare in someone so young
Oh boy, had a 1984 A112 Abarth till 1993 I still love that car and that is around 1984 too, the front indicators are orange!
You make me fall in love with my island over and over again. Thank you for your great work!
I’m so happy to hear it, gracias Julia!🙂🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Hi Freddie, Monika, I’m currently on a cruise ship visiting canaries. We left Tenerife around sunset yesterday so that could have been my ship passing when you were having cocktails😀😀😀x. Monika has such a great smile, it’s infectious.
Hi there. Just started watching your channel. Loved the Roadtrip videos. Now enjoying the living on Tenerife series - Great new Vlog TFS
I’m delighted you’re enjoying it, thank you!🙂🙌🏻
A very good channel with some good content and brilliant music
Autobianchi A112, an italian little legend! Made not so far from my home in Milan. Greetings from Italy :)
Ahhh grazie! Che bello machina!😍🚗
There were many Autobianchi in the 80's in my island, Tenerife....and still.He was amazed with the car!!!!
Great vlog. Sat chuckling at your enthusiasm for the Autobianci. Laughed at you crouching in front of it with a longing look. Great fun, well done.
Thanks John!😆
The bench at 10.45 is were my wife and I go to in an evening stroll down from the Rui palace when we stay, missed the island during the lockdown but were back next year.Del duque is a lovely area in fact that end of adeje is fantastic, try to get round to La Caletta love to see you both having a drink round there.
Good vid, we are the owners of the Victory Bar just next to Pastios. Small typical little English Bar, great Dorada from our aircon cellar, only one in the area. A lot of expats, you should call in for the best Dorada in Tenerife. Keep up with your vids.
Cheers Jo and Steve x
Made this my lunch break viewing today and loved it, as always. I would love to see an interaction between and the many autos or bike owners that you may encounter as you are ogling their machines. 😂 Surely some must come up to you!
Also, I anxiously await the update on the response from the Abarth owner of your rental proposal. Perhaps you’ll simply get a joy ride, which would be wonderful, too!
I’ll see YOU in the next one!
The Harley Sportster biker did see me checking out his bike, so I said “bonito moto” (I think that’s right!😆). I’d take a passenger ride in the Autobianchi with pleasure!
@@FreddieDobbs "Bonita" , moto from motocicleta in spanish it's femenine so -a. ☺️
Hi, new subscriber here 👋🏻 Your UK to Tenerife road trip video drew me in and now I can't stop watching, love the channel, love your enthusiasm, and am starting to love the beautiful island of Tenerife. Keep up the excellent work both of you.
Thankyou.
Watching these is good for my mental health!
I’m delighted to hear it John!🙂
El Duque looks wonderful. Love your enthusiasm for the Autobianchi Abarth 😅👍🏼
Hi Freddie I just watched about 7 of your videos on Tenerife, a place I love so much. Very nice job on your part, you communicate very well , informative and entertaining. Very very well done. I like your enthusiasm for cars and bikes, I do the same , stop at all kinds of spots and just admire different vehicles. That's what happens when your a car and bike guy. Also like your appreciation for architecture in Tenerife, I do that too admire older buildings and wooden balconies etc. I'll be moving there in July, I love Tenerife so much. I also would like to say that Monika does a great job with the camera, very well done and I especially like her taste in music, such beautiful background music . Anyhow I'll keep watching , keep up the good work.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Have a great evening.
Thanks Nicky!🙂
Nice one guys, great cinematography and top music....
I can’t believe Monica said you get too excited, what a terrible accusation 😂 great video and music. Love the Abarth. Cheers
A ridiculous statement from Monika!😆
Found your channel 2 days ago, now on vlog No 5! Great stuff!, The Freddie Clarkson , or James Dobbs of Tenerife! love it! Cheers guys
Haha I love this, thank you!
So glad you found the channel!🙂
Wow,this place looks like heaven.Excellent geography and infrastructure
Greats vids, Tenerife is beautiful.
Loving Tenerife with you both, and the car worship! Had Readly for some time and you are right, such a game changer and such good value for all the content. Look forward to each episode. No comment on Ducati as I am a BMW rider! Ride safe.
Thanks Stephen- I can’t believe I’d never heard of Readly!
Every time I watch your vids I just think of a 70’s advertisement…. I do love them mate so thanks both 🙏🏽❤️
Thank you!🙂🙌🏻
There we go!!! Hold on let me buy popcorn 🍿 enjoy the show guys😍😍😍
I hope you enjoy it- enjoy the popcorn!😆🍿
Freddie Dobbs ofcourse 😆😆😆 popcorn is tasty😂
I own the modern Supersport, and just bought an old Monster, although servicing on the older models can be expensive never had a moment's issue with reliability so fully recommend and surprised by your poll. Great video love the car features too, thanks guys.
Thank you so much for sharing your Ducati insight Dave- really appreciated!🙂
My mom had one of those Autobianchi back in early seventies. They were popular here in the islands. It was a nice an reliable little car.
Great video!! Love the passion and bringing back memories of Autobianchi. Regards from an HD Sportster owner ☺️
Really glad you enjoyed it!
I really like when you check out parked vehicles.
I’m so glad it’s not just me that finds them interesting!
Here, here, I second that!
Freddie you have become a car expert lol... one to watch now ... 100k subscribers would be ok for next year
Ahhh these videos really are an uplifting tonic especially as the weather is on the turn here! Great cinematography AGAIN guys but I think you missed a trick, you should have had Freddie emerging from the waves all Daniel Craigesque like!. .But who's the gorgeous babe in the sunglasses?....oh it's Monika! You two really do make a very handsome couple indeed. Love the colour of that Abarth and what a great idea to try and rent it for the day or at least get a ride and a tour, love your enthusiasm Freddie! Looking forward to the next vlog!
Haha I love this!🤣🌊
Thanks!🙌🏻🙌🏻
0:53 Wow I thought Freddie got a bee in his helmet!
It was a similar level of shock- just with no risk of actual injury!😆🚗😳
Yea that happend to me ,no joke
Yeah, I thought he was irate about something, but he was just super excited about the Abarth!!!😎
Had a 797 Ducati monster, nice bike, air cooled, pretty reliable. The neutral issue at the start was irritating, took about 1200 miles for it to settle in. Unfortunately I wrote it off this summer, van pulled out in front of me. The only bike I like in their line up now is the Supersport 950S. I’d get another one, when VW Audi bought them in 2012 their reliability went up massively. The brand is directly under Lamborghini now, which in turn is owned by VW Audi as well.
Thank you for the insight Richard!🙂
Great Channel. Cars, bikes and travel. . . 3 of my favorite things! You mention a podcast too, you have one?
Love your work and seeing you both having a great time Freddie. I know it’s lovely and warm there but worries me you’re not wearing more protection.
Monkey Beach opposite Hotel Troya is a nice beach also. Great video as always, wish I was there !!
Thanks Matt, great shout- we love Monkey Beach too!👌🏻
The Tenerife tourist authorities should be paying you and Monica!
Thanks Stephen, this sounds like a dream!😀🇮🇨
Great video today Freddie love pistachios me and my partner go there at least three times a week The burrito is also my favourite I normally have crispy bacon on top of mine just so it’s not to healthy washed down with coconut water 🏍🏍🇬🇧
It’s such a great little spot!👌🏻. Must make sure not to get too carried away with the healthy living🥓😆
Fantastic video, love the content as always!!
Did you post your request through the letterbox??
I had never even heard of that car brand before!!
I need to go and buy some paper and will pop over this evening🙂🤞🏻
Thanks Darren!
So Freddie, the Autobianchi A112 was Fiat Group's attempt at designing a 'bettered' Italian Mini, in the process moving from the old rear-engine, air-cooled, RWD design, to front+transverse engine, FWD Mini-esque modern idea, BUT with a tail gate!. This was in 1968-69, when the concept was still frowned upon by some of the management at Fiat. In reality the car proved to be technically excellent, quick, efficient, and with great road-handling: the same engine+systems were in fact adopted in 1971 by the new and revolutionary Fiat 127. The A112 car was a highly successful car which was extremely popular in Italy, as well as in some other selected export markets. In later years the car was badged as a Lancia in export markets. The Abarth-tuned version (which was a strong competitor to Cooper Minis) was very successful in rallyes and competitions. The A112 was a real hoot to drive...soooo much fun!
Ambos sois fantasticos Freddie y Monica , mi me gusta mucho tus videos siempre divertido y interesante . : )
Muchos gracias Malcolm!🙂 I’m delighted that I can actually understand that!😀🇪🇸
@@FreddieDobbs The absolute best way to learn is to live in the country where you are learning the language .It's much faster and of course more fun . All the best : )
Once again an enjoyable short travelogue! I am concerned about your exuberance over strange boxy odd vehicles!😀
I don’t know why I love these silly little cars so much!😆
@@FreddieDobbs No problem, I'm sure with age you'll grow out of it😀
What a Chanel 👏👏 👍
Liveing the dreem you crazy cats !🐈🐈
I love your enthusiasm when you are checking out the older cars and bikes, my wife dispairs with me when we go on holiday to Tenerife etc I'm excactly the same, drooling over cars bikes that are no longer seen in the UK. Now where did I put that travel brochure ??? 😎😎
It’s just too damn fun!!!😆😍🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
Love the car looks like a cross between a mini and reault 5
Doesn’t it!
Nice watch as always. Dead Cat on mic did its job virtually no wind. Interesting car wow what a price!
Really happy to hear the dead cat did its job!
The beach sand imported from the Sáhara is on Las Teresitas beach,that is at Santa Cruz...
Not to be a geek, but I have a strong memory of when El Duke beach was being made, and even up to Torviscas, in the late 80 mid 90s ish, and the sand was dredge from out at sea and pumped on to the shoreline. Fond memory of sifting through the sand to find coral, shells etc.
I can't get worked up about old Fiats/Seats. When I lived in Tokyo in the early 90s, I subscribed to BIKE and had it posted over. I couldn't wait for it to arrive. The beautiful simplicity of those tassels on that Harley. I wouldn't buy a Ducati. I am on my second KTM, though. I can see why you like this island so much, but when you've finished there, have a look at southwest Portugal.
Another thoroughly enjoyable video.
Portugal is starting to be a genuine contender if/when we leave Tenerife (although I’m loving it here so much, I don’t know what’s going to happen!)
Mmmmmm that beach and water.
I've owned 5 different ducati models from 2006 to 2017, the old ones with belts were expensive maintenance the latest chain drive panigale not so bad, I've switched wholesale to BMW, they are just easier to live with somehow and nearly all have heated grips and cruise control
You are like a kind version of the guy who played the villain in Deadpool🤣. I like your enthusiasm for motorcycles.
Ah yes- I know the guy you mean!😆 Plus I think hd rode a motorcycle too!🏍
We've just got back from El Duque, where we stay for a couple of weeks every September, we stay at the Altamira apartments with a balcony overlooking the ocean, it's my happy place. BTW, that house behind you on top of the rocks (The Duque's house) used to be owned by Liz Taylor. Edit: 11:55
Ok sorry to pick you up but that house is known as el duque castle was built by a Duke but bought then rebuilt (and is still owned) by the family that built and own all the Parque Santiago's in las Americas
The house you refer to as Liz Taylor's is in Los Cristianos but again she never owned that or any other property in Tenerife..👍
It's just an urban myth.
I was in that beach today.
Hi Freddie and Monica…I love your vids..I am sorry I am prob not your demographic! I am a retired lady who doesn’t particularly like cars or motorbikes, but I LOVE Tenerife. Really enjoy your presenting style Freddie..thank you for great vids from a new subscriber!! xxx
Hi Sheila,
Monika and I are both delighted that you’ve found the channel!🙂
I hope you enjoy all of the upcoming Tenerife content- there will be a lot of it.
Thank you for the support!🙂
You got the history of Abarth/Fiat/Autobianchi/Lancia wrong.
But I still like you channel.
Fiat and Abarth had lot of cooperation before this A 112.
This car was sold as a Lancia in many parts of the world.
Abarth and Fiat made cars together since 1949.
Autobianchi startet in 1955 and had cars based on FIAT technology with the Bianchina and other models.
The A112 is based on the Fiat 127 technology.
You bring a big smile on my face with your enthusiastic clips about cars you find special.
It simply makes my day better.
Keep up the great spirit.
I have the same tyres on my Fiat Panda 4x4 as that abarth, Hankook Kinergy, although mine are 4 season tyres, those look like Eco?
Good point- I think they probably were Eco!
Always save the best for last. Sort of like when i was a child i would always eat the things on my plate i liked least first and saved the meat for last :)
More Monica = more subscriptions.. ;)
Another great video!
I use readly 4 years. Good App. Btw.: What Hard- and Software do you use, to cut your Videos? They look perfect…
Really glad you like Readly too!
Monika uses about five different softwares, with Premier Pro being one of the main ones🙂👌🏻
i own a multistrada its a great bike, costs a bit more to maintain but thats because of the technology its got. im a bike fan of the boni id love one myself
Thanks for the Ducati insight! The Bonnie’s just gone in for repairs as it’s started sounding dreadful- hopefully nothing serious!🤞🏻🤞🏻
My wife doesn`t want me to get another bike but I blame Freddie & Monika for this.
Should get yourself up to las terasitas beach mate. Go past the port in Santa Cruz. Go during the week and its quieter as the locals all flock there on the weekends and holidays.
The Sportster's bars appear to be a beach or longhorn style that have been tilted down drastically.
Ahhhh I did think this!
another great vlog and sound track keep them coming .
Thanks David!
I am not brand loyal but there really is something about Ducatis. My Mike Hailwood replica is my garage queen, only taking her out for special events and then there is the 999S….insane power and torque. My Multistrada 950S is the first civilized Ducati I have owned. I use it for long trips and it took getting used to because since…well…I found it quite different than the other Ducs I have owned which were always insane, never civilized. The most expensive service was replacing the belts. But I had mine done at the Duc dealer in Alicante which was about a third of the cost you pay in Northern Europe. Reliability excellent for all my Ducs.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing this Eric, and wye opening re Spanish Ducati service costs compared to Northern Europe!
Freddie was that a Harley sportster or an old road king. I think road kings are the ones with the 3 head lights. And the seat, handlebars don’t look like a sportster. But everyone customizes so much who knows ! Beautiful scenery, this place agrees with you and Monica 😎👧 👍!
I did have to double check because if the triple front lights, but it was a Sportster.
Thanks Brian- we do feel very at home here!🙂👌🏻
One of the most famous A112 Abarth is the one of Giorgio Almirante from Movimento Sociale Italiano
Freddie dont know what camera you use but its amazing
Thanks, iphone 12Pro Max- it’s magic!🙂👌🏻
The first time in any video from any channel have I actually not only heard of what their promoting but use the said thing myself! I’ve had really for about 2 years now, I used to buy each month T3, Stuff, Empire, Total film. There’s over £20 straight away, then I can read any other mag, like GQ, Ride and several others. So for V me READLY is a must and at £7.99 I’m saving loads!!! I never kept mags anyway and don’t like the clutter and if like me you have an iPad Pro 12.9 then the portrait mode for reading mags is practically life size equivalent.
Fantastic! I don’t know how I cooed before Readly now- it’s brilliant (for both Monika and I👌🏻👌🏻).
Great shout on an ipad- I’ve been considering doing the same🙂
@@FreddieDobbs while your here, just thought I’d let you know I don’t ride, don’t have a motorbike licence, I was not really interested, then your review of the Indian vintage dark horse popped up, and I now want to get a licence just to try and get that bike!! And I’m hooked on your videos and really enjoy them!!! You would make a great presenter!!! And I think you look like dermot o Leary too lol
@@coledines I'm delighted to hear that, and I know exactly what you mean regarding the Dark Horse- it's the kind of bike that's so special, it can single handedly get people into biking!
Thanks so much Cole- really appreciate it!🙂
Another great vlog thank you both.
Freddie, is Harleys bar still there in torviscas? If so it might be worth a look, and maybe a little vid.
Kind regards
Still shut afaik
Thanks Andy, I didn’t know about this bar but I’ll take a look to find out!
@@FreddieDobbs it's a tgi type place with some old American cars outside and a couple of Harley's inside
Just to add a bit of drama Harley's was originally owned by John Palmer who's cars they were and apparently the engines etc are still in a lockup in the south. Palmer had a lot of American vehicles including Harley's scattered in various garages all over the island up till his untimely death
All this was way before my time so I cannot personally confirm or deny this btw
@@richardbartlett6932 Ahhh yes- I've ridden past it!
It's a beautiful little beastie, goes like stink, had one in France in 1991.
Hi , another great video , If you bought one the Abarth , what happens in Spain stays in Spain or it might rust out in the UK , 70 HP must be a flyer . When you do the gear for the day , a request from Nicky could you please include Monika, s hand bag for today , you may get some more followers as Christmas is coming , present ideas ? . Keep having fun you two and enjoy your trip .
This is brilliant!!!🤣🤣👜. Monika loves the idea and we’ll try and integrate this into videos!
I agree- the Autobianchi wouldn’t last two years in the UK!
Ducatis are very original and beautiful bikes, I think that bikes are reliable as long as you get them a proper maintenance, that is due to the desmodromic sistem and the fact that it is triggered by two timing belts. I have had two ducatis, a 2004 multistrada 650 and a 1998 Ducati 748
See you on the road, have a good time in the island
Mate…. You turning into Shmee!!!!! Being a petrolhead ourselves be it 2 or 4 wheels, we understand your passion!
So glad you feel the same; 2 and 4 wheels🖤🖤🙂👌🏻
I’ve got a Ducati monster 1200s 2018 had it from new it’s never not started or let me down l love this bike but like most Ducati’s they like getting ridden fast and chug chug in slow traffic
Those survey results surprised me too. I currently have a 1199 S Panigale, in the past I've had 2 x 748S, a 998 and a 999. Reliability has never been an issue. OK you pay a premium for dealership servicing, but hey it is a DUCATI. Would I buy another? absolutely.... try and stop me :-)
Thanks for sharing your experiences Marc- I will do the exact same survey soon with other brands (Triumph next!) to give some relativity to the results🙂
I notice you’re gradually shedding off the safety gear each week 😂😂. Great video mate
He'll be in shorts and flip flops like everyone else here soon 😂
@@richardbartlett6932 ha ha ha
Ahhhh I know- I’ll win no awards for safety. For the bigger rides I wear all the gear, but around town I have to admit- I wear pretty much zero!
@@richardbartlett6932 that does seem to be the standard here!😆🩴
@@FreddieDobbs like I said before mesh jacket all the way. But I like the fact you don’t stress about it
Boom !! where did that come from "Ducati" ..... ?? still loving the vlogs by the way and very jell of the lovely sunny days your having lol ok so would i get another Ducati ? yes i would and i did and i did ..... started with a monster 600 then another 600 then got a 750 then a 695 then 900 then a s2r then a 1100s also have a bonny se hence watching your vids ,so why so many duc's well ive only ever had small problems ie battery small electric gremlins they ride like nothing else handle like nothing else nothing quite like them and put a crazy grin on your face every time ..... my 1100s monster is not really for the faint hearted they pull like trains and handle like on rails ,i think they probably are like marmite but if your hooked your hooked and although i love my bonny the monster is as as it says on the tin a monster in my opinion a riders bike * ) ohh and very impressed you saw the Abarth there you go see there's nothing quite like Italia * )
Brilliant owner’s insight, thanks Vince!
I get the Italian thing 100%!🇮🇹🚗🏍
