From London to Timbuktu inventor Gilo Cardozo risks his neck testing his latest invention, the world's first ever practical flying car. Gilo was last seen flying a motorised paraglider over Mount Everest with Bear Grylls. This time he teams up with seasoned adventurer and former SAS soldier Neil Laughton. The British duo plan to both drive and fly from London to Timbuktu. It's an ambitious undertaking and the pair are on a pretty tight deadline. On the eve of their departure, and in front of the world's press, they are forced into an embarrassing admission: that not only has their practical flying car not been tested to any height, but the Civil Aviation Authority has decided not to allow them to fly anywhere in British skies. And so they must resort to using the Channel ferry to get them across to France. But there are sterner tests ahead for the intrepid pair. How on earth will they cross the Straits of Gibraltar, or the vast expanse of the Sahara desert? And will they make it to Timbuktu?
