They are now ready to buy.

 is we cannot keep them in the sales room: the Essex keeps on going by pop ular demand.

He didn't know that a battery's thirst should be quenched with water rather than using his motor oil and the result was he ruined his battery.
 Never tinker with your battery. AL ways go to some service station and have them test your battery. This service is free and you'll get the best advice how to keep your battery properly charged. Never put oil in your battery nor acid. It takes an expert to do this and the ordinary car owner should avoid any costly chances.
