The video features RCSparks and his family testing their homemade "Toybota," a remote-controlled, amphibious vehicle inspired by the TV show Top Gear. The Toybota is equipped with a Go-Pro, outboard motor, and pontoons, making it capable of traveling on both land and water. During the test, the Toybota successfully navigates from land to water and back, but faces challenges with balance and taking on water. Despite not completing the intended channel crossing, the Toybota impressively drives out of the water under its own power, with the wheels carrying it through the water. The family is proud of their achievement and already planning improvements for the next attempt.
