I was just about to get in my car today, when a lady in her late 70's possible early 80's and 5ft nothing tall, approached me to talk about it!
'Ooh, I like this. Is it hand made?'. 'It looks fast. I'd like a whizz bang down the motorway in it!'.
And, had I a bit more time, I'd have given her a run down the road in it.

Had a young boy come up to me today to let me know my Lambo was the dogs. Never knew what that meant at his age :-)

This. I tried not to talk to her like she didn't have a clue, just in case she had a high speed history of wing walking or something!

Reminds me of when my gearbox let go. I was waiting in a Country pub car park for my mate to turn up with my trailer when an old lady in her seventies starts talking to me about the car. I wasn't in the best of moods but answered her questions. Turns out she worked at Goodwood race track, had raced most things going and even had a few seasons in the early days of Funcup!!! Couldn't believe it, never judge a book.....
