QSC
Open Day 2004
The
weekend of July 10-11 was the factory open day ay Quantum
Sports Cars, and also the weekend when the Quantum Owners
Club helped the factory team commemorate 18 year of the Quantum
marque. The day started early for some club members as they
traveled great distances, for example from Wick in Scotland,
to be at the old Quantum Sports Cars factory in Stourbridge
shortly after 8am on the Saturday, for a breakfast kindly
supplied by Mark Wooldridge, one the the founders of QSC.
At
around 10am a convoy of 17 Quantums left the old factory in
Stourbridge for the Xtreme Works in Loddiswell. The weather
was not kind as most of the convoy pulled into a service area
on the M5 to sort out their wet weather protection. Then things
got even worse with heavy traffic slowing progress dramatically.
It was good to be driving along passing or being passed by
the numerous Quantums that were on the road - quite an impressive
sight.
As
planned the re-grouped at the Taunton Deane services to complete
the final part of the journey in a tighter group. Due to the
showery weather and the stop-start nature of the traffic,
the planned photoshoot at Kingsbridge had to be called off
and the convoy headed directly to the Xtreme Works.
The
entire convoy made it safely to the factory where all cars
parked in the courtyard outside the showroom and again posed
for photos.
