Overfinch Unveils New Accessories For Summer

If you want the latest in British fashion, Overfinch would like a few minutes of your time. Working with Kirk Originals, Overfinch sunglasses are handmade in vintage styles. Each one is named for a classic Overfinch automobile, and they are perfect for a sunny drive. 500EIn 1988, buyers who wanted more from their English 4x4 could order the Overfinch 500E. It combined a 5.0 liter Chevrolet V8 and the Corvette's 700R4 automatic. This bulletproof drivetrain was a cost-effective alternative to 570, which had the 350 ci (5.7 L) Chevrolet V8. The Overfinch 570 debuted in 1983, and it was the beginning of a two-decade partnership with GM. 630RIntroduced in 2000, the 630R featured projector headlights and a plush interior to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Overfinch. The engine was a 6.3 Liter Chevrolet, which is a 383 to our muscle car fans. They are a popular combination of the 400 ci crankshaft and the 350 ci engine block. The 630R made 360 horsepower to all wheels and is one of their most celebrated models. 460iIn 1998, Overfinch decided to offer a more economical engine upgrade than the Chevrolet 5.7. So they decided to use the 4.6L Rover V8 with upgraded internals. The 4.6L V8 was a logical choice because the external dimensions are identical between the factory Rover 3.5L engine. The all-aluminum design was much lighter than a Chevrolet, while still offering great performance. If you weren't aware, the Rover V8 was originally the 1960 Buick 215. GM sold the design to Rover in 1965, and it was standard equipment until 2006. Color ChoicesOk, these have nothing to do with engine choices. These are close-ups of their colors. And of course, every pair comes with a handmade leather case. Overfinch Bespoke Luggage SetThe Overfinch luxury should not end as you exit your vehicle. With Overfinch bespoke luggage sets that are handcrafted to match lifestyles as well as vehicles, all aspects of a journey can be considered a destination. Overfinch luggage is made to same exacting standards as the Overfinch vehicles. The 6-piece collection comprises touring cases, weekend cases, vanity case and business case. A light but strong aluminium frame is trimmed in the finest British hides to match or contrast with a vehicles interior. Hides, stitching patterns, piping and embroidery can all be specified to individual requirements. Pricing for Overfinch accessories is available on application. Click the link below for more information.Click Here To Visit Overfinch USAFYI: Overfinch didn't simply swap Corvette engines into 4x4s, the suspension, brakes, tires, wheels, and every stitch of leather was all new. Here is a history lesson for you to enjoy- Cheers!

McLaren Senna Stars in Forza Horizon 4 Reveal

Forza Horizon 4 has been revealed at E3 2018, and it comes with a few surprises and the gameplay that we've come to love. When Forza Horizon 3 came out, I spent almost too much time racing around the virtual world, taking hypercars off-road, sideways around corners and off of cliffs, all in the name of fun. When I say fun, I mean it; the Forza Horizon series is without a doubt one of the most enjoyable racing series for the automotive enthusiast. It may not be as realistic as its brother, Forza Motorsport, but all of the cars, fast-paced action, and stunning graphics are there. Better yet, it's all done with an open-world. For the fourth iteration in the series, new dynamic seasons are being introduced. This means that every week the in-game season changes across the new setting, Britain. One week you may be racing through the snow, while the next week is sunny with a chance of rain. I'm a huge fan of dynamic weather, but dynamic seasons? Count me in. Over 450 different cars will be available in Forza Horizon 4, coming from more than 100 different licensed manufacturers. This is, without a doubt, the largest Horizon car roster to date. Two of the cars are coming in as the stars on the cover, the McLaren Senna and 1990 Land Rover Defender 90. These two cars are from Britain, paying homage to the new game's setting. Other changes coming to Forza Horizon 4 include: Route Creator: design and share custom race routes Drift Suspension upgrades Driver personalization (accessories, clothing, emotes and more) 60 frames per second on Xbox One X (and PC, of course) Owner in-game property that unlocks new items and perks Forza Horizon 4 is available for pre-order now and it will be released worldwide on October 2, 2018. It will be available for Xbox One, Xbox One X and Windows 10 PCs. If you have the Xbox Game Pass, you'll be able to play for free. There are also Deluxe and Ultimate Edition available for pre-order. Ultimate Edition owners will get the game early on September 28. Pre-Order Now

Hot Wheels' Latest Car Is A GoPro Mount

Somewhere in the attic, there is a BetaMax video of my Christmas morning in 1987. My first Hot Wheels track and a few cars were enough for hours of imagination. Once parents realized how effective the track was for corporal punishment, sales really took off! Yes, I have been admonished by plastic track, but maybe I deserved it. Their famous "Poison Pinto" was just large enough for a firecracker,  that it simulated real-life detonations of the explosive automobile.Urban legends say the rotary-powered cars came with tow straps and spare apex seals, and the Vega arrived pre-rusted. Nevertheless, every kid has wondered what it would be like to be behind the wheel of their cars. With high-banked corners, loops, ramps, and the brutal figure eight, it would be the thrill of a lifetime. Well, now your dreams can be a reality. The latest Hot Wheels model is actually a GoPro camera mount.The "Zoom In" is made for the Hero Session or Hero 5 Session cameras, this $1 ride is perfect for POV action. C/Net reported the car has a retail price of $1.09, and it places the camera low in the chassis for confident cornering. Because the GoPro Session is capable of live streaming, parents can also make sure homework is done and that the room is truly being cleaned. Stay with us for all your repressed automotive childhood memories and have a great weekend!Shop Hot Wheels

Wheels and Wardrobe: Royal Wedding Vibes

Even though we didn't get invited to the royal wedding (our invite must have been lost in the mail), we'd like to think that if we were there that we'd show up in style. We're big fans of His Royal Highness The Duke of Sussex and Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex, especially Meghan Markle due to her role in "Suits." Because of her role in the show, we'd like to think she would know the importance of a good suit and, furthermore, it would've been downright disrespectful to show up in anything less than stunning... in our humble opinion. For our suit of choice, there was only one choice: Tom Ford. Why? Well, he did happen to dress one of the United Kingdom's finest gentlemen, James Bond, in the movie "Spectre." To go with the suit is a stylish Aston Martin DB11 that James Bond and royalty would most definitely approve of, thanks to Aston Martin's heritage in the United Kingdom. Check out our entire selection right down below.
