    Default AWESOME SHIT INSIDE!!!!! Secret info about auto performance options...

    You need to read the below informative paragraphs below to be able to accomplish this yourself. You have to read it quickly because after a short period of time, it will fade into something that has nothing at all to do with automobiles or performance.

    The use of wall and floor tile coverings existed in Egypt as long ago as 4000 BC and by 900 AD, decorative tiles had become widely used in Persia, Syria and Turkey. As transport and communication developed, tile usage increased (at this time they were mainly used to decorate the floors of cathedrals and churches) and by the end of the 12th Century, use and manufacture of ceramic tiles had spread across Italy and Spain and into the rest of Europe.

    Staffordshire Tile Production
    By the late 18th Century, ceramic tiles were imported into England from Europe, with Holland providing the influence which was to initiate the tile industry in Britain. Dutch potters produced wall tiles similar to the famous blue-patterned delft tiles in factories in London, Bristol and Liverpool. Gradually, the industry developed into a modern, highly mechanised process, becoming more concentrated in the Staffordshire potteries. Companies like Minton Hollins, Maws (Ironbridge) and T & R Boote (Burslem) turned part of their production over to ceramic wall and floor tiles. By the end of the Century it was said that no home, public building, hotel or institute was complete without ceramic tiles. In wall tiling, Minton and Maws realised the necessity for good design and employed many well known names to help them produce specific tiles for such eminent buildings as the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Palace of Westminster.
