Today me and Tony went out to do this and that, finally getting him a car battery from CES, which we took down to a place called Mick's, which is where tony had been working yesterday. While he was there he saw a little Suzuki Swift, which he was told would be £250 cause the battery didn't work and there seemed to be some other problem with it Mick couldn't work out (Mick is a knob btw). So the car started with the new battery, but it was running only a couple of it's cylinders and seemed to be struggling to stay ticking over with no revs. After a bit of looking about the car (& Tony having second thoughts) they figured it was coming from the exhaust, where on looking into it Tony saw a bunch of fluff stuffing the pipe. The fluff is supposed to stay in the back box so the car doesn't sound so noisy & doesn't kick out as many fumes, but after a while it breaks and that was all that was wrong with the car. Once the bit that was being a hassle was dragged out, the car ran fine! Mick did not look happy and hinted the car was worth a fair bit more than £250, but Tony paid him and Ron drove the car back home. It's Micks fault for trying to sell tony a car he thought was a dud, when it was just an easy fix! And after all that, I don't actually have a pic of the car today, sorry! ;x
