On another note we had our annual Christmas/national day/end of year regatta today and it was pretty good fun lots of tinsel and Santa's sailing around! Was a really fun race even though there was literately no wind, it was a tough fight but I managed to win by 23 seconds on handicap! pretty close all the way till the last lap!

11.You can't buy anything without asking for a discount
12.You expect all stores to stay open till midnight
13.You understand that 'wadi bashing' isn't a criminal act
14.You make left turns from the far right lane
15.You send friends a map instead of your address
16.You understand why huge 4x4s must slow down to a snail's pace whilst crossing a speed bump yet hurtle through a wadi at 100kph

Easter Sunday
For the 1st time in 2011 the whole RSA team had the day off on the same day, so what better to do than get addicted to Quad bikes!
So leaving late afternoon we headed down towards Sealine beach resort (40 mins down the coast from Doha) and had a look at all the different quads on offer. After a quick chat we decided to take 2 big quads and 1 polaris buggy style thing.
So we got off to a pretty interesting start those on the quads hadn't used bike gears before so got a 20 minute lecture on that while me and liam blasted up and down the first due we could find in the buggy. We headed off with the goal of reaching the inland sea in an hour, which was unfortunately never to happen!
Finding the harder sand road we opened up the throttle to see what our new toys could do, the buggy for up to 55 mph with the quads keeping up when all of a sudden the bonnet came off the buggy and almost took out henry on the quad behind! After re attaching the bonnet we headed of back up to speed, play around on a couple of dunes on the way.
Then again the bonnet came flying off only this time henry wasn't behind the quad so all was good, we took this opportunity to stop and store the bonnet somewhere it wouldn't fly off. During this little break me and Liam discussed whether the buggy would be able to do donuts, which we quickly decided no and sped off after the other two. At the next stop we decided it may actually be able to do a donut and of course had to test out whether it would. Short answer no! turning into the bend the buggy lifted onto two wheels landed on one side rolled onto its roof and down onto the other! needless to say the damage was pretty bad! the whole roll cage was bent over to one side! and the engine wouldnt start.
So stuck in the middle of the desert no engine whats a guy to do but send for help! And of course when helped arrived they got the buggy started 1st time making us all look like fools! Anyway we were left with the new buggy and blasted around the desert for the next hour, it was a lot of fun even if i was a bit sore the next day!
