Mike and the team travelled to the Isle of Man to seek out one of the strangest roads in the world! Known as 'Magnetic Hill', this trip of Tarmac has baffled tourists and locals for decades. Is there some genuine physics-bending trickery going on?!

Had this "issue" in the austrian mountains. It appeared we where driving downhill, but the fully packed toyota ago only went slower and slower. To the point i set the car next to the highway thibking it was broken. It was the moment we exited the car we relealised it was actually an uphill climb 😅 indeed the mountains around is made us unable to see the horizon.
