“The “large” in Large Hadron Collider is something of an understatement. “Enormous” is closer: The collider’s underground tunnel carves a circle 17 miles in circumference, traversing the border between Switzerland and France.”

Comments (3)When you’re designing a web site, you want it to be the best right? I mean … not just average looking but something you will be proud to put against those featured on showcased sites right?
You’ll often find me posting and answering questions in forums when my mind needs to be somewhere else for a few minutes. Sometimes I find myself reviewing sites. When reviewing someone’s site, I often point them to CSS Showcase sites (notably CSSMania because of it’s topics) just to give them a view on their competition. I think it’s very important to see what your competition has for a site and making sure you’re up to par with them esthetically. I mean, you’re product might be better than Company B but if your site looks like it was done when Netscape 3 was out … most people won’t look past the first impressions.</p>
Yes … it’s true unfortunately. The classic line of “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover” doesn’t work in the Web Design industry. If your site looks great and it’s trendy, clients will come.
So … when you’re designing a site, don’t settle for less! Go look at what the others are doing and aim higher.

So with that in mind, I found out that many were mounting it behind the backseat on the rollcage. Found a few write-ups and went on from there. Notably one found on JonFund.com with a few modifications since I didn’t have a welder.
Here’s what it looks like:
Comments (2)The SAAQ clearly states in their special documents for modified vehicles that:
“La partie supérieure de chaque roue doit être recouverte d’une aile sur toute la largeur de la bande de roulement.”
In english that would translate to
“The higher part of each wheel must be covered with a wing over all the bandwidth of bearing.”
(If that made sense, thank the AltaVista’s Babelfish translating system. If not, thank the AltaVista’s Babelfish translating system :D)
As you can see from this picture, my tires stick out at about 1″ to 1 1/2″
