A fender with luscious curves. Achingly beautiful mags with delicious tyres that fill their arch. Doors that ‘thud’. Raked bonnets, twin chrome exhausts, a good thick tread pattern, a supercharged engine, hitting the red line, a tight turning circle and exhilarating acceleration.
Check your pulse. Now. Do it.
If it has been raised by any of these words, you’re one of us – a car enthusiast.
You may not have known before. You may have actually denied that you love the deep double bass thrum of a V8 or the silent glide of a technologically marvellous Prius.
But you’re a potential QCar candidate.
If Paris Hilton or Brad Pitt pale to insignificance when a Ferrari is to be had, well that is just confirmation. It’s being emotive. Emoting.
It’s all about the feeling, the freedom, the open road, the possible.
QCar started some three years ago in South Australia as MotaFrenz. At Melbourne’s Midsummer Festival three years ago, Motafrenz SA co-founder Nick Horn was introduced to MotaFrenz Victoria. He decided to bring the concept back to our state. However, over time the members felt that a wholly South Australian group should be created and thus QCar came into being.
QCar is a subsidiary of Team Adelaide and a group of gay and lesbian people and their friends who are passionate about their vehicles. QCar aficionados enjoy driving and socialising with like-minded people. As Motafrenz SA, the group has had representation in two Pride Marches and at two Feast picnics. The group has appeared in Blaze on numerous occasions.
Over the last three years the car club has had weekends away in Robe and Burra, various lunches, dinners, winery visits, curry nights and car runs around the Adelaide Hills, the Barossa and McLaren Vale. Numerous exciting events are planned for the future. QCar members believe the group fills a niche in the GLBT community. It resonates with a broad cross-section of people coming from all walks of life, gender and age.
QCar looks forward to working with Team Adelaide. And perhaps we’ll see you on one of the group’s car runs.
Check us out. QCar will have a run on
