We all know from the Forum, that our Zeds appeal to all sorts of characters from every age demographic.
And being 62 already, I'm sure my neighbours discuss what some might call a mid life crisis.
Luckily I could care less, cause Im having too much fun.

So recently SWMBO and myself were out at a very popular (busy) breakfast joint.
I couldn't help but notice two elderly ladies (probably late 70's) who entered.
They were twins and very petite - probably 4' 8" and wearing identical white ski jackets.
Actually I couldn't help but compare them to The Wizard of Oz "Munchkins".
And I thought to myself, that there must be an amazing story to have an identical sibling that you share so much with over a lifetime..

Well as brunches go, we finished ours and as we were about to drive away, I noticed the twins exit as well, and my curiosity piqued, I just had to see what they drove.
I half expected them to be parked side by side and driving identical Toyotas.
Nope.
The "gurls" were in one car and to my surprise it was
A Jaguar XKR Coupe !!!!
They overtook us on the roadway, 2 Munchkins chatting aimlessly, out for their constitutional.
Makes you wonder about your own preconceptions and prejudice eh ? :tumbleweed:

Bought it from new too.
She must have been paid well in the 60s!
