Exclamation LMR in Doha, Qatar!!!

Just thought I would post up some pics from over seas. Josh and I just arrived in Doha Qatar. The car has been sitting here since the end of October. We are doing basic maintence on it and getting it ready for a race this week in Behrain. These pics are from the brand new(only) track in Qatar. We are going to do some testing here before we leave for Behrain. I will try and keep you updated with our progress.

How sandy is it there? Are you having to run a filter to keep the sand out of the piping? I remember in Kuwait and Iraq, we had to clean out our air filters pretty much weekly to keep them from getting clogged up.

hahaha, that is awesome. These dudes in the middle east don't play around when it comes to spending $$ on cars. So far, nothing has beat the shock on my face when I saw the Gallardo parked on a curb and covered in sand on a busy street in Dubai. Was probably a daily driver.
