Default my Model A in everydays life

I´d like to start a new thread with funny or interesting pictures of our model A´s. Let me begin with our Lady as a toe service for my wife´s cabriolet. She lost all her coolant and we towed her without any problem and with a lot of astonised faces all around when we arrived the service station.

My best effort was when I towed my friends 1929 Chevrolet 25 miles after he broke down. Unfortunately I didn't have a camera to record the event and he wouldn't loan me his camera.
I have much pleasure in reminding him on a regular basis.

We use our 1928 CCPU for donation drives for local animal shelters.
