Review: The See Through Vision Toaster by Magimix

All toasters are not created equal and the Vision Toaster by Magimix is one prime example of going above and beyond the call of toaster duty. To be honest, I never thought I would be calling a toaster sexy but here I am doing just that. The Vision Toaster is something that you want to display in the kitchen thanks to its striking and attractive design.

The world’s first see through toaster features toughened glass viewing windows so you can watch as your toast or bagel evenly browns. This way, you will always have the perfect toast without it getting burnt. The toaster features four quartz elements in the corners of the appliance rather than the metal elements like traditional toasters which allows for the viewing window. The Vision Toaster comes pre-programmed with four functions: toast, bagel, reheat, and defrost. It also has a center twist knob to determine the darkness of your bread with settings 1 through 8.

The Hoverbike – Helicopter and Motorcycle Hybrid

At Unfinished Man, we love things that fly and have featured a number of different aircraft including the very cool, flying hovercraft. And now, we would like to introduce you guys to the Hoverbike. I almost busted a nut when I saw pictures of this …this thing. The hoverbike is the creation of Chris Mallony and is still in development stages with one prototype being used for testing.

Mallony envisions using this helicopter/motorcycle hybrid for Search & Rescue, Aerial Surveys, Films, Military & Emergency services, and my favorite, Aerial Cattle Mustering. The hoverbike’s theoretical hovering altitude is 10,000ft while the airspeed is 173mph (150 KIAS).

Cruise Ships and Storms – The Ultimate Ride

I keep trying to convince a few friends of mine to go on a cruise with me, but they always tell me that they avoid them for fear of getting seasick. Well, after watching this video of a cruise ship in the middle of a bad storm, I’m starting to see where they’re coming from.

The video below was taking from inside the Pacific Sun after it encountered a huge storm about 400 miles off the coast of New Zealand. The cruise ship faced 25-foot-tall waves and heavy winds… waves and winds big enough to

Ultimate Chinese Knock-Offs of Cars

BYD F8 vs. Mercedes CLK
Yep, it’s true –  both of them look like a Mercedes at a quick glance. The trouble, is that the similarities stop the moment you take a closer look. Besides the front fascia and the fact that they are both convertibles, there is not much else to compare between the two cars.  The yellow car you see is the BYD F8. BYD (Build Your Dream) used to manufacture cell-phone batteries. The CLK is a rear wheel drive available in a V6 or V8 and prices range from $47,000 to $62,000. The F8 is a front wheel drive car powered by a four banger and priced at $27,000 to $29,000.

Unfinished Man 1974 Datsun 260Z – RB25DET

We all have a dream car or a project car that we would like to complete one day. For Unfinished Man team, that day is today. What do you get when you combine a few car enthusiasts, a Datsun 260Z, and a Nissan Skyline RB25DET engine? The result is a sharp looking, head turning, push you back in your seat monster.

The RB25DET is the third engine this 260Z has been mated with. The original L26 was a no go due to new emission regulations that were implemented and reduced the power of the 260Z back in 1974. The second engine was a modified L28 from a 280Z with Triple Mikuni carburetors, P30 Head, performance cam, pistons, and rods. Those parts were also complemented with Monza headers, downpipe, aluminum flywheel, and performance clutch.
