I just went to the 1.5 million people march against war in London!
It was fantastic, seeing so many people, from jews to muslims to mothers and their babies to war veterans with their medals holding 'War=suffering' signs... I hope this will make people think a bit.

Now I'm back to work, and I might go to the cinema tonight
I guess skateboarding tomorrow, if the weather's allright.

Our go kart is gonna be crazy. lots of work to be done. alex and i are trying to think up good ways to make it stop since its gonna be a heavy bitch. guess it would be good to think of any safety features too so we dnot kill ourselves. still our own formula ford should be badass

LOL Ryan. I told you we can use some brakes (preferably some Wilwood kart pieces) to slow down our kart. Getting them shouldn't be a problem - the problem is mounting them onto our car. A traditional, outboard, in-wheel system is the most desirable, but it's insanely hard to design from scratch. The most logical setup would be a dual-disc setup mounted onto a solid axle. This would also allow us to use a traditional gokart chain-drive.

Safety is another big thing. But we are NOT putting a freakin' roll cage on it. Just some seat belts (out of one of Dustin's trucks) and a helmet (I have several full-face helmets) would be fine. The damn thing will be too heavy to flip anyway.

Also, we need some freakin' wheels. I think we may have to use generic 14" trailer wheels. Heh. That thing'll be crazy!
