More often than not when im bumbling along and see a felow motorist in difficulty (even the odd ford!) i will often stop and give a hand, for example a lady driver trying to change tyre, had managed to get two lads to help her, but clearly both didnt know what they where doing. So with a wheel wrench from the boot we had the tyre changed in about 5 minutes. I might add it was absolutely chuckin it down!
Any other tales of helping a . . .?

Yep. Good point fella. I missed that one.
I should explain to the Forum that I met the present Mrs W about 11 years ago when I fixed her 2cv.

Thats what made me think of the thread!
Ah, the FCS! What humour! and what a stylish way to arrive!
While in the que to get in the car behind me died. It was a 309 GTi belonging to Anita, NW regional leader. Had loads of rope in the boot, so simply towed her in! With everyone pointing and laughing! I had to put the car above normal height just for the extra effect!
VisaGTI - this wasnt a young lady, and no i didnt get her number. But it was a very clean 106 she was driving!
Then there was this point about a year ago when i pulled someone out of a ditch. Me and a mate had decided to go for a bumble round the lanes at about midnight. Got to a corner and found a car half way down a ditch. Turned out the guy had stopped to answer his mobile, and the car had slid off the embankment. Good use of the towbar, a big rope and an two cars full of huge blokes and the car popped straight out! good fun

i was on the way to the pub before and drove along this road by the beach where you can drive onto the stones. Of course an old granada had driven onto a bit where the stones were deep and got bogged down. Towed him out and he gave us a tenner which paid for a round of drinks, pool and some chips
