PICS: Corvette Building Sand Castles.
Hey folks, i have been around these forums for a wee while and havent really posted any pictures. These arent the best as it was 48 Degrees outside in colour bleaching sunlight 
Note: It is not possible to keep it so clean in these conditions. Enough excuses enjoy

Dubai is amazing sir - thanks for your kind words.
Car is bone stock. No changes, she runs nice and cool even on the hotest of summer days (55 degrees) as long as i dont rag her so i dont intend to do any engine mods. With the volume of sand in the air a vararam would do more damage than good
Sand is a nightmare. As you finish dusting one panel the other is dusty again!!!! I have OCD It has faded a little in placed mainly due to a minor bump and a shoddy repar- however a local 3M place says that for 600Dhs / $200 they will spend 3 hrs brining the paint work back to life and removing swirls and marks (not sure if they can but hey worth a shot). I believe they just use Polish and a grinder
I will go out of my way to take some nice pictures of her in town and beside some of the super cars that kick around

Thanks for the great pics! Dubai...wow! 
So if the sand covers the road, how do they "clear the road"? There are snow plows for snow -- so does that mean you all have "sand plows" for sand? It would be interesting to see what that looks like. Or do you all just do burn outs until you can see the road? jk
Again thanks for sharing!,
