Completed Nose Cone

Eddie Ruskin has has completed his redesign of the Saloon nose cone as shown right.  He is able to supply these to any member, so if you are interested get in touch with Eddie. Not content with updating the Saloon he is now working to modernise the 2+2 bonnet too - watch this space for further news.

No More South West Meetings

It is a very sad occasion to hear the Eddie Ruskin has decided that it is no longer worth holding the regular meetings for the South West area.  Eddie remains a keen owner and is proud of the Quantum marque, but for reasons outlined in a letter to the webmaster, has decided that the last meeting held, will be the last ever.
All is not lost, however.  If you feel that this group could be resurrected please contact a committee member with your ideas.

Successful Irish Tour

4 Quantums, were part of the recent successful tour or Ireland organised by the Irish Kit Car Club. The tour was used to help publicise the forth coming Irish Kit and Custom Show 27th August 2006. Members from the Quantum Owners Club would be welcomed at the show. This could be a great event for members in Northern Ireland to attend. 2 Xtremes, a 2+2 and an H4 were part of a large group of kit cars that completed the tour.

New Committee Members

Stoneleigh has been and gone for another year. Hopefully the members only area will have the minutes from the AGM, but I can confirm that the new Chairman is Paul Heaton and the Secretary is Ian Cummings. Congratulations to them both and a big thank you to the out going committee members. You can read a brief show report, with photos in the members only area.

AGM Announcement Notice

Stoneleigh is just over a month away, so the club is keen to announce the details and agenda for this years AGM, which is to be held as this show. For the full announcement detail please go to the members only section of the club site.
Also new in the members only section is a document describing the committee roles, plus an easy to use badge kit, which the committee believe will be useful at the show.

Saloon Nose Cone Redesign

Well know club member, Eddie Ruskin, aided by fellow member Andy Simmons have completed a redesign of the Saloon nose cone.  The pair are able to supply you with a replacement nose cone for your Saloon, which is a direct bolt on replacement for the existing one.  The big advantage is that you get a more modern styling and the light apatures are designed for readily available new lights.  To find out more contact Eddie Ruskin.
