Having spent every weekend recently at a garage, tyre depot or alloy wheel specialists, Paul is beginning to feel like Bev's mechanic. Yesterday he noticed that one of her rear tyres was looking a little flat, so he took the car back to Stapleton's to have the tyre pumped up with nitrogen.
Anyway, Stapleton's put the car up on a ramp, and immediately found the culprit - a large nail stuck in one of the brand new tyres! Luckily for Bev, the tyre had only deflated a little because it was filled with nitrogen (larger molecules than compressed air), and the new tyre is insured, so the trip to the garage didn't cost anything except Paul's time (phew)!
What do we bears have to do to make sure Bev gets to and from work safely and without trashing the car? Do we have to run in front of the car every morning and evening, inspecting the roads for potential holes, nails, bricks or wildlife and brush any rubbish off the road? Err, we are only little bears so could only run at about 3 or 4 mph maximum and not for the whole journey, which means it would take Bev about 7 hours to get to work - mind you, her tyres would be perfect!
