uncle phil · 12-01-2010, 01:38 PM

kuwait?

BadNick · 12-01-2010, 05:56 PM

Well, I am somewhere on the Arabian peninsula but not in Kuwait.

uncle phil · 12-01-2010, 06:07 PM

qatar?

Ourcrazymodern? · 12-02-2010, 07:06 AM

...in a town?

BadNick · 12-02-2010, 07:24 AM

Not in Qatar but I can almost see Qatar from here. Yes I am in a town, at a special type of facility that might appeal to a fun loving motorhead like me.

Ourcrazymodern? · 12-02-2010, 07:33 AM

Does Bahrain block your view?

BadNick · 12-02-2010, 09:48 AM

no, I'd have to look beyond Qatar to see Bahrain.

Ourcrazymodern? · 12-02-2010, 09:59 AM

so you're in the uar?

Ourcrazymodern? · 12-02-2010, 01:50 PM

...like maybe at the Yas Island Circuit?

uncle phil · 12-02-2010, 01:50 PM

Yas Island, Abu Dhabi?

BadNick · 12-02-2010, 06:31 PM

yes, somewhere in the UAR....yes in Abu Dhabi but not on Yas Island. Yas Island is a little over ten miles east.

In addition to my previous clue about this place appealing to a motorhead, there are at least a couple of world-level superlative qualities about this place.

Ourcrazymodern? · 12-03-2010, 06:45 AM

Hell...

Abu Dhabi Traffic Control Centre?

BadNick · 12-03-2010, 09:14 AM

nope...this place offers fun to the public.

big clue: red

Ourcrazymodern? · 12-03-2010, 09:47 AM

Are you at the Corniche, watching the Red Bull Air Race?

BadNick · 12-03-2010, 11:45 AM

nope. btw, I hate Red Bull...though I do like bulls and I like red.

I'm sorry to keep harping on this since it would be less meaningful to people who aren't auto enthusiasts, but this clue combination is significant: motorhead & red

And since you brought up Red Bull, that reminds me that Lamborghini has nothing to do with where I am.

uncle phil · 12-03-2010, 12:07 PM

10 miles west of yas island is water...

Ourcrazymodern? · 12-03-2010, 01:45 PM

"a little over 10 miles," & depending where you measure from & if it's straight west...

I think we need another clue, Bad Nick.

BadNick · 12-03-2010, 08:51 PM

Sorry, I have to correct myself. When I originally put the name of this place into Google maps, it showed a place marker on the map which I assumed was the correct location and it was not on Yas Island but more westard in Abu Dhabi. Now that I was looking for better map clues, I went to the website of this facility and found their link to Google maps and it shows it right on Yas Island. Sorry.

But I would like to have someone guess the actual name of this facility/park kind of place on Yas Island and the "red" "motorhead" and "not Lamborghini" are pretty solid clues.

Give it another shot. Ocm? guessed Yas Island Circuit but I'm not right at the circuit but just about right next to it.

uncle phil · 12-04-2010, 03:15 AM

Yas Marina Circuit, Formula One & Etihad Airways Grand Prix host Abu Dhabi

?

BadNick · 12-04-2010, 08:53 AM

It's right next to that circuit. If you look around for a huge red thing in that vicinity, I'm at that place and the name of this place is directly related to my red car clues above.

BadNick · 12-04-2010, 10:19 AM

Ourcrazymodern? · 12-05-2010, 11:38 AM

In a landlocked state?

uncle phil · 12-05-2010, 12:17 PM

no...

Ourcrazymodern? · 12-05-2010, 12:24 PM

...both coasts, again?

uncle phil · 12-05-2010, 01:16 PM
