Crossing Europe in a £200 Perodua - will it get me home? 930 miles! A long drive home. 

Nice video Ian. The key thing I learnt is that you have some very good friends. You're a lucky man - lovely family, lovely friends and doing a job that's a hobby!

I think that little bus really made a good account of itself! For the price of 3 B & Q wheelbarrows, that little car got you to the Netherlands and back without any problems. Impressive.

Best £200 you've spent Ian. Nice to see you're a Mentour Pilot fan too.

Princess limousine? Many moons ago I won an Ambassador hearse on ebay. Had to punt it on quickly as my university supervisors deemed it inappropriate…. I was a medical student (now a doctor)

I remember years ago on a trip to the Netherlands on a bicycle tour. I noticed around built up areas a road sign indercating an instruction obviously aimed at motorists. I asked a local what it meant and he firmly told me it was remind motorist in these areas that they are a guest on the road and everyone else has priority over them. I thought blimey imagine telling that to a British motorist.

Best video series you've ever done. Absolutely love the Perodua.

What an amazing £200 car . So no silly toys , just good no nonsense motoring . I liked the BMW you borrowed , I have a 99 BMW 328 SE Auto , which runs like a dream !

A very enjoyable video,like Hubnut road trips of old, I still re watch " 2cv to Croatia " a brilliant little car for £200,such great condition,it's got to be a keeper surely??

Certainly in Germany, if a speed sign on an Autobahn has "bei nasse" underneath it, that does mean the speed limit applies when it's wet. And yes, road manners have seriously deteriorated in the UK. Also, it's nice to see that the road surface changing the second you get into Belgium hasn't changed in 25 years!

What an epic adventure, really good to see yourself and the little Perodua made it there and back with no problems. Hubnut success 👏

So glad you got to John Childs at last. Nice touch in an impressive length video. Thank Ian, most enjoyable.

Yes, road trip! The best test drive you can imagine, through 5 countries, for £200 purchase and no repairs. There are fun test drives in the Netherlands waiting to be broadcast.

Remarkable achievement for both man and motor. I do love a collection caper and that was an epic example. ❤

Mr Hubnut, I'm truly impressed... 👍👌😊

I am very interested to know what Carly thinks of the Perodua compared to Chemmy.

"......any excuse to play with the wipers...." yeeers, we HAD noticed.

A Brilliant Road Trip and well done little Kenari.

Back in 1992 I bought a 10 year old Talbot Alpine for £250, which plugged on cheaply for a few years. Another scrap Alpine bought for £35 and stripped for parts did help the cause. In 2005, I bought a 12 year old Cavalier with 200k miles for £175. It even had 9 months MOT and 3 months tax. The seller had been offered £175 as a p/x but the garage were going to scrap it and after it had served them well for 9 years, they couldn’t face it being crushed. All seems a long time ago when I see s/h car prices now.

Absolutely brilliant video Ian ❤👍 what a lot of lovely sites in Holland it's a beautiful country can't wait to see the show brilliant

When i was coach driving in mainland Europe , all i did was keep to speed limits and watch the road signs lights etc , and things were fine... I love driving in Europe road are so much better

Road tax based on weight ? Sounds ominous for EV owners 😢

Love these long travelogues. Thanks for sharing, Ian.👍

Once again Ian your trips over the channel give me the most joy, great mix of cars and travel.

Wow that little car sure has done well Ian. Miss Hubnut will hopefully like it. Great video thanks.

Love it Ian, at least one bonus getting that glue off is that they are glass!!!

Know what the scene I liked best was in this most enjoyable video? The sight of you relaxing in the back of the Kenari, having just discovered the seatback actually reclined in even this poverty-spec model, and looking comfy with a drink while the rain pelted down outside. Ah, looxury! And cup holders, too! Can't buy such a comfy seat for the sitting room for 200 quid. If the car has to be scrapped because of next month's MOT, you should save the engine/ECM to put into Chemmy. Not using oil is quite a big plus and who's going to notice half-a dozen lost horsepower at Wales speeds? I suspect it's as perky as Chemmy's used-up motor anyway. Plus, you never know, perhaps some of the brake bits fit as well. Just a thought.

Thanks 🙏 for taking us with you on this lovely road-trip! What a brave man you are Ian ! Making this trip in a car you just bought ! I believe Perodua never been sold here in the Netherlands, I never heard of it at least! But it’s a nice little quirky and apparently reliable car ! I love the front ! Mixture of Lancia / Rover / Beamer kidneys on it’s own way! Please come back with Carly and the kids perhaps! 🤔 Bob!? So much to see ! And Dutch food ( not everything) but pannenkoeken, poffertjes, stroopwafels, kibbeling, lekkerbekjes! And typical Dutch sweets! 🍭 Glad you enjoyed your stay here in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 and you made it all the way home with no problems! Back home to your lovely 🥰 family!🫶👍🏻👍🏻🆙

Iv got to give credit where it is due, that was a really good enjoyable video to watch. I really do like your long road trips. Well done to the little Perodua as well...👍

I’ve always loved your road trips, it’s like tagging along with an old friend (not literally, before you get alarmed!). The Croatian trip was probably one of your best features and this was very much along those lines. Nice work Ian.

The Citroën BX 19 GT you spotted (registered NN-12-GV) is the one I bought in 2003. I know the current owner very well, but it is so nice to see it on RU-vid. I had so many nice travels with it.

Many many years ago my local council had a black Princess as their mayoral car, complete with the coat of arms on the bonnet. It was decently frugal with our money but also a bit pathetic at the same time.

Loving the Perodua, I hope it stays on the Hubnut fleet for a while and you get chance to do some maintenance and improvements. It's a well deserved little car.

Chrome Bezels around the dials, painted silver front bumper inserts means 330i. Awesome Cars. Had several as my company car back in the day. Old enough now to be HubNut but that would be a 318i 👍

I'm always fascinated by the different style of street furniture, road signs, typography etc. in different countries.

I think I saw that yellow austin this week on the roundabout near zuilichem which is also in your video. With the man sitting in the rumble seat with the umbrella, amazing coincidence. And the Aart en Leontien barbecue is legendary :)

I can’t believe the amount of trucks on the road in Europe. I thought Australia had a lot of Trucks and Road Trains 🙈🙈

Nice, will watch on Friday 😀

What an impressive road trip this was and a great compilation of your various travels on the Continent. With a 200 pound Perodua no less. Thank you very much and may I add, big respect too for your work schedule, a very good insight into the HubNut, 'behind-the-videos' action. And all on the phone as I understand it. Even if the car gives you 'throttle foot' (after so many miles), I do hope this Kenari stays on the HubNut fleet for a while. You might even find a new home for the cool green one perhaps! Many thanks again Ian, road trip action for the win, all I can add further is 👍👍

Best car you bought for a long time Ian , it’s a very capable little car Brilliant video

Here in Croatia that would be about a €2000 car, I do miss UK banger prices.

Think the Perodua Netherlands trip vids have been my favourite. Some great footage taken, especially the ferry parts, super interesting. Would absolutely love to do something similar one day. And the Perodua, what an amazing little car that is!

That hotel room looked like a cabin in a cruise ship.

What a brilliant little car. I can imagine it doesn’t feel great after extended periods of motorway driving and getting into an ‘executive’ car with cruise control must’ve been a pleasant respite. Notwithstanding though, that little Perodua is a remarkable car. The front grille and lights give it characterful looks, too.

Hi Sir. Enjoyed the ride with you, as always. I imagined my CX-9 zipping along in traffic with you. It would look good over there, if rather large. Glad you had a safe trip home. Cheers.

the Kennedy tunnel can be an absolute nightmare !

A brilliant purchase Mr S, that little motor has spent most of its life parked up somewhere. Impressive that it took such a sudden long journey in its stride. Someone has looked after that little sausage. 👍

In the Netherlands the standard rule on non-priority crossroads is: Every vehicle (including bikes) coming from the right has right of way. Also: Traffic (including pedestrians) going straight on is having right of way.

So let me get this straight. You bought a 200-pound car in the UK then without further ado or testing went across to the Netherlands then went home. I'm not sure if that is brave or foolhardy. Too bad little cars like that Perodua were never available in Canada. That thing is just what I really need for blasting around Ottawa.

@Hubnut Think like a Scot whenever you try to pronounce anything in Dutch. The way a Scot would pronounce the word "how" is exactly the same way the Dutch pronounce a syllable like "Zui" (so with a heavy Scottish accent) The rest of the villages' name is like you reckoned. So for your english tongue you could have a go at "Zowlichem" with a heavy Scottish accent, it will sound quite Dutch that way. Zuilichem.

Great content again. She’s a little trooper. Look forward to the next.

Really great vlog this one. Brilliant to see behind the scenes.

Great video, hope you keep the Perodua!

Now that was one hell of a journey Ian, I bet your glad your home hope you had a great time.

Congratulations on a successful trip 😊

I really love the Perodua. One of my favorites of your fleet. Great looking car!

Loving the road-trip videos! And very much looking forward to the coming car reviews, especially (since I am a sucker for small Renaults) the Twingo and it's sporty sibling. Also looking fprward to Miss Hubnuts verdict on the Perodua - will it out-shine Chemy? 😉

Great to see you made it safely home !

If youre ever around Cobham just go to Sainsbury's its just off the cobham junction and is like 20p a litre cheaper than youll get at cobham service its wild how extortionate it is for a 5 min diversion

A very interesting video. Thanks for sharing Ian 😁.

Loving the windmills but, the click - clack of the indicator relay steals the show for me. Sheer delight.

Wow what a bargain for 200 notes! Great journey video! 👍🏼

What a heroic little car. Well done little Perodua, and Ian.

Oh my god the sodding M4 closures! Every bloody night that road is closed; drives me mental. The perils of living in Wales...

Awesome trip and lovely countryside. Thanks for sharing Ian, £200 well spent. 😊👍

What an amazing little car to do all that it’s a car with a lot to give and deserves its place on the fleet well done Ian a great purchase and looks like you had a brilliant time in Netherlands some great motors there

Awesome vlog. Loved it.

What I love the most about the Kenari/Move is the driver's seat has great thigh support that makes long distance driving quite comfy and roomy. Glad you found another gem from Perodua. N.B. Oh ya, Kancil is pronounced 'Kahn-chill'. Owned two, they drive like go-karts with roofs, dont they?

Brilliant video. One of the feel good videos. I am very happy with you Ian that you are reviving thease Malaysian cars. I used to own a Proton Impian very good reliable car. I hope one day Proton, Perodua and Daihutsu make a comeback in the UK 🇬🇧.

Great vlog as always. Not sure if you've thought of a name but I thought Jac (Kenari). We drove back from Austria last week and clocked up 917 miles one way so we were commenting about some of the places you passed through as we'd been there last week...Junc 10 wasn't too bad for us either.

An excellent video Ian and what a great little car!

Very impressive wee motor vehicle Mr HubNut, and a great video to watch.

Of course, it will get you home, I have every confidence fingers and everything crossed good luck...

Love the driver's eye view of driving through the Netherlands - reminds me of playing Euro Truck Simulator 2!

Watching all the parts on this lazy afternoon in the sun in Belgium. The E46 probably has the M54 or the M52 engine if it is an early one like it looks like to be the case. Bulletproof engines if correctly serviced on oil changes. The Vanos can go and the crankcase ventilation system sometimes needs reconditioning.

Every car there was awesome. Cool video ❤😊

We never had peroduas here but on a very strange way i like it 😂 This trip brought me back memories from my trip on the beginning of last month from Portugal to Germany and back on my Ford Fusion 1.25cc, amazing 😊

Love the Mentour Crew T-Shirt. Petter has an amazing channel, his aviation videos are interesting and informative 😁 The best aviation channel on RU-vid.

what a great video, and a great little car! looks like it may need brake pipes for the next mot, but well worth spending on it 🙂

I drive a truck over night from plymouth to Lichfield. Motorway closures are a pain in my arse. It takes 4 hours 15 minutes to drive it without closures. We can only drive for 4 hours 30 in one go. The current m5 closure overnight means it's easier to drive the A46 instead. But we have to stop for a break on the way back.

Fair play tyou for pedalling that little gem all that way. Ironically, more comfy in the rear seat. Good caper. Summer's here, rain's got warm.

Hi Ian I’ve throughly enjoyed this series, I like these euro trip videos, I haven’t commented much as I haven’t seen to much of RU-vid but have been keeping up to date with my favourite channels like yours from a distance , due to getting to grips with single life. In the coming weeks I have a couple of reveal’s my dad has been buying cars and 2 quite interesting ones, one is a 1938, never dull in my family buying wheeled things 😂 Thanks for the video 🙂👍

Nice tour Ian, the Perodua certainly held up well.

Please pop that dent out on the rear quarter

Im' a huge point and go fan , had those sort of cars for a while now

Did you say "Calais is the busiest port in the UK" ? It hasn't been a part of England since 1558. 🤣

What a fabulous little motor Ian. A real bargain I think.

What a great adventure!

What an inspiring trip 🎉

another great video has always Ian and Carly miss/mrs hubnut and hublets and hubmutt 👍

Missed you by a hair, Ian!! Tuesday... I was in the same traffic jam on the A27, taking the exit Oosterhout Zuid. Strangely enough I was on the lookout for you, because i.knew you were at JCS, held near the exit I took and you passed whilst in that traffic jam!! 😂

Am loving this series of roadtrip videos, Ian. Makes me think of the Mighty Dacia ones. We used to take the DFDS Dunkirk Dover ferry. A bit of a long crossing, but cheap... Mme MB isn't a fan of ferries, so we now shell out for the Euro Tunnel. Stupidly expensive really...

Japan classic Sunday looked very wet shame to not see more of it

Love it , top draw!

Thoroughly enjoy your adventure trips, amazing for 200£ it was completely drama free!

Superb travelogue! This Kia Rio I've bought has a similar noise issue....it's more road noise than wind though. Like the Perodua, it's a bargain basement box, so I'll forgive the lack of sound deadening, especially as I'm getting just under 60mpg out of something that weighs as much as a politician's promises yet packs a 110bhp punch. It's very, very impressive!

I'm surprised that Ian didn't mention the lack of pot-holes on the roads in the Netherlands, whereas here in the UK pot holes appear EVERYWHERE... Nonetheless, the Kenari coped with everything admirably. What a great little car.

Loved the video and the subtle reference to an aviation RU-vidr.

what a fab road trip. the little car did you proud. I bet you slept well that evening though!!!

Easy Hotel may be very nice and almost brand new, but I'm not sure you could say the same about the walk through some very attractive 🤔 corners of Cardiff at 5 a.m. to find where you'd parked your car in a delightful multi storey car park 🥴🧐

Emergency pants always useful
