Speaking on Accra-based Peace FM, Franklin said he does not know why his other child opted out but he was happy Quincy made the trip.

"I went with my 20-year-old son. I had wanted to go with two of my children but one chickened out. I wanted Quincy to get the experience because of his age. It will be a big deal for him to have the Accra to London road trip on his CV."

The two drove in a Lexus RX350 for the 10,000km journey which took 16 days to be covered. Many did not see the Lexus making the trip to the end but it became the 'hero' of the journey among the cars used.

Franklin said he drove through Africa and Quincy did all the driving when they got to Europe because he was tired.

Why Franklin embarked on the journey

The InkIt CEO said his love for driving and cars made him decide to go on the historic trip.

"I love driving and I love cars so when I heard of it I said I will go. People doubted me they thought I'd chicken out at the final moments. But I made up my mind that even if it was left with just me I will go."
