MINI Fun @ the Beach

Fun @ the beach . A friend sent me the url to this pic. I don't know anything else about it.


I can't figure out how to add the HTML tag to make the pic display smaller.

Those are some dang talented kiddies. It would be cool if they made one with the door open. That would be quite a sand-engineering feet.

Yep! The side blinkers are backwards alrite :smile:

Couldn't tell if this is another PS work of art cuz by looking at the length/angle of the car's shadow. I think it should cast on the litto girl's left arm (who's sitting in front.) I might be wrong

I think you're right, she's got a shadow on her leg, but not her arm? AND there's a building or something behind the car that does not cast on the car.

I do think the flag is PS for sure.

If you take a look at the last GoMini magazine, there's a pic at the back where a giant MINI Wings badge appears to have been sand-sculpted. The caption goes on to inform the reader that BMW actually took a polystyrene block and sand spray-glued onto it.

Perhaps this is something similar?


As to the lack of shadow on the little girl, her arm is high enough to be above the shadow line.

I always hated the thought of vacuuming sand out of my car after a day or more at the beach. This takes the cake!

The question is - should I go ahead and get this 05 sand MC, or hold out for the turbocharged 07?

Okay, enough of my smart@ss comments. Here's link to the sandcastle in its original Web home: http://www.steviaonlinesales.com/id30.html

Lots of images there, but this will load eventually (same castle, different angle):
