Nasser was at the same International auto show in Qatar a few weeks back with his Redbull off road race VW Touareg.

We also had a booth at the same show with our offroad buggies.

Nasser along with many other potential customers was invited to come test drive our buggies.

He was very interested at the show and wanted to drive our buggies.

He had a blast & loved how light weight they were, how they handled and the power to weight performance.

He plans on coming back for more fun,,,,and then ordering one for himself.

He will not be getting any promotional discounts or anything for driving our vehicles,,,,,,,just a big grin

Well if that does turn out to be the case you will have done very well, Company's promoting anything from lipsticks to limmos spend a fortune on getting celebrities/superstars seen with there products although none will admit to it because it will no doubt put off potential paying customers.

What would impress me is if he turned round and said he wanted it discounted or even free and you told him to sling his hook.

Seriously? Isn't it pretty obvious that there isn't any mini buggy manufacturer making enough money to pull off promotional stunts like that? Or take hits on their products like that? Come on...

I am Thinkin that when you get to be rich and famous with your buggies rampaging tracks all over the world. that you should build all the minibuggy guys a single seater yup I think so....lol

Wouldn't having 30 of these on a motocross track just be a blast...Jody would have to man the pitts though sorry buddy...

Redbull ,,Volkswagon, Suzuki, Yamaha ,,,,,, Protolite,,,,,,,,,Yup, not quite as big,,,,,,,a few thousand less employees and a much smaller budget.

Jers,,,,,,,c'mon,,,,let me out of the pits I want to race too

Maybe its my imagination on overload but its the way I think when I see this.

Ok fine but you have to run the kids buggy!
We can't be having you with the "familiarity" advantage on us..

Congrats on your success! I used to race 12 Hours of ATV America. It was the most fun ever. really wish there were more endurance races.

Travitanium, your a bit far but Glen Helen runs an enduro every year and I havent gone or checked but there is another that maybe like district 37 or someone puts on.... I will try to find the details if you want.. But ya check out Glen Helen I know they do an endurance race like that still.
