Jason's new car

Hey,


This is the bargain car that Jason picked up on the weekend. A funny story goes with this car as to why it was up for sale. The lady who owned it was driving it one day when it made a loud pop noise and started to run real rough. So she got it as cose to home as she could (which ended up being a park about 1 minute from her house) and left it there for about the last 8 months.


So we rock up on Saturday to have a look at it and Jason starts looking around the engine bay to see what was going on and there he finds it - A spark plug hanging in the plug lead - all that had happened was when they last got the car serviced the mechanic didn't tighten the plugs up properly and it had fallen out while she was driving. So all it took to get the car running was to screw the spark plug back in and replace the battery. The battery had gone flat since the car hadn't been started in the last 8 months, so for a total cost of $110 we got the car going again.



So here are some pics of the bargain car which has been appropriately nicknamed "Sparky" (I came up with that name) Sorry - it is a 1994 Mitsubishi Pajero SWB 2 door.
