I have been followed home in both the Q Coupe and the Avion so the other driver could ask about them.
Sorry not a Quantum story really. But I went to the pub in the Avion and parked right at the back out of the way. When I came out there was a Ferrari parked next to it and a father and son looking at the Avion, ignoring the Ferrari. They preceded to ask me all about it and showed no interest in the F. (I was still interested in it, though) But I suppose you don’t often see some nit with a car that has no roof, door or windscreen these days! But the funniest one was an offer to buy the Avion. The first unsolicited offer was while I was waiting to SVA it………… Interestingly, I would also have said cheap insurance. Until this week. The only production car we have is a Jag XF. It has now reached 10 years old and Adrian Flux came up with a 37% decrease in premium over last year to £245! That is cheaper than the Q Coupe last year. See what that comes to next time, but it has been going up each year.
