I watched it last night. Looked great but i hope they can improve the car. They struggled to get it off the ground so i dont think any
'unexperienced' person would be able to very easily.
Fantastic car though 
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

i thought it was rubbish, it couldnt do what they wanted it to do, carry 2 people.
and it looked very hard to control and the price of £35K, having a laugh

Did they manage to finish the journey? I was in a hotel watching it but had been up since 4am and fell asleep before the end.
I don't think I'd fancy trying to land a pretty much un-tested car/plane in that heli-port!!

Total crap. Strapping a sand-rail beneath a hang glider wing does not a flying car make.....
Pissed myself laughing though.

Yep, thats the same guy. In testing for that they sat in a freezer, strapped to thier machines and with a huge fan blowing, to see if they could
survive. Problem was he forgot to put any anti-freeze in the engines and buggered them both up!

It didnt do much flying, It reminded my of that old movie Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines when the Jap guy turned up late and the
reporter asked him if he'd flown all the way from Yokohama, turned out he'd flown the last mile.
Old major whoever he was seemed a right pillock, as for Bear Gryllis last time the b@stard came our house he ate my grandaughters Hamster.
Cheers,
Bob

So what was the programme called? Shall have to look it up on the "on demand" thingy but I'm sure I'll have no luck searching
for "Flying car documentary"

Had to laugh when they were sweeping the sand out of the footwells in preparation for a two person flight (which BTW was unsuccessful) to try and keep
the weight down.
Those big Cobra seats must have been about 20kg apiece They could learn some useful tips on adding lightness and other useful stuff if they joined
Locostbuilders
Also laughed when the designer spat his dummy out and told the film crew to "stop filming" when someone pointed out his crap
engineering.
The guy flying it was a pilot and had it not been for the small miracle whilst he was attempting to cross the Straits of Gibraltar, the car would now
be at the bottom of the sea.
Pointless and useless
