Here is another new car I've been looking at.
Its a GBS zero 7 and is just like zoom zoom 2 Spencer and myself were building earlier in the year.

As I am a busy business bear I have done a full cost analyst of this project and have gone into the business implication of the purchase of this car.
We have looked at all aspects of the build and set up cost centres and management teams to fully test all probabilities. The conclusion we, as an organisation have reached is...........................

WE SHOULD BUY THIS CAR TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I Will have to check the shoe count and see if any more are coming.

Hope you like the tyres I have collected this week.

Spencer has spent such a long time removing these tyres and then stacking them!!

I'm still dreaming of a new car.

I really want this new westfield very bad!!

But with more and more new shoes coming into the house it's hard to see how I can buy it.

THIS IS VERY SAD!!!!!!!

Hi

I have just taken my first step onto the property ladder. I bought a home for my workforce and you can see pearl my cat sitting in her new home!!!!

She loves it.

The gang all here!!

This is Spencer and myself with Gasket and this brother Dipstick, who came to vist us last week.

Dipstick is just like his brother in most ways, except that he never won a race!The best he's ever come is last!

But its great to have him visit (just don't put any money on him to win!!!)

Here's our van near the dome.

Spencer was fitting some tyres near there.

Here are my cats pearl and portia on a company day out at the park

This is me looking at the new Westfield kit.Its a limited edition of only 25 to celebrate 25 years of Westfield.

I was hoping to buy one, and build it but I have been stopped because of the need for more shoes. I was promsed this kit but it looks like I will miss out again.

As you can see I'm a busy business bear doing important business things.

Hi all

This is me in my office working on my new business.

As you can see I'm working very hard!!!

I have a laptop computer and a desk and all sort of office stuff!!!

This ia a picture of the van spencer drives to fit the tyres to peoples cars.He loves driving it.

Hi all, sorry its been so long since I've posted but a lot has changed at Baxter Automobiles.

The long and short of it is, I've had to sell zoom zoom before it was completely built to help with the expansion of my empire.

So the car has gone to a new home and Spencer and myself have been busy with our new enterprise.

We are now in the tyre business, and sell tyres from our mobile fitting van so, if you need tyres for your car give our website a look and order your tyres online and save a lot of money!!!

Its www.etyres.co.uk

Don't worry though we will be building a new zoom zoom soon.

Spencer has been moving the metal plates about the workshop and I've been bolting in the fuel tanks.

Well I think you can see that the end is in sight.

That is the end of fitting plates to the seat back/roll hoop.

As you can see the tank frame is also coming along very well.

Its hard to fit in there, but goes in.... just.

Spencer is measuring the panel to make sure we cut it correctly.
We used high tensile button head bolts and special glue to bolt and bond the new panel to the seat back and under the roll hoop, this will make it extra strong.
You can see the special bolts in the pictures as we are admiring our handy work!

This is the roll hoop and we are moving it out of the way.
While we are moving it I slip and the hoop falls on my paw.......OUCH

As you can see Spencer is much stronger than me and can lift it easily.

I should have worn my pawtectors to stop my paw being squashed, but its ok now as I had a nice cut of tea to make it better.

Spencer is removing the roll hoop so we can fit the extra panels that arrived today.















We are working together to unbolt the roll hoop, Spencer is turning the ratchet to undo the bolts and I'm holding the spanner on the nut.











These are the stays that bolt to the rear panel and this time I've got the ratchet and Spencer is holding the spanner.

















The bolts are easy to remove and it didn't take long for the hold thing to come off.

Spencer and myself are working extra hard to day in order to make some headway on the imporvements to the chassis.
We are having problems with the weather as well and find it hard to move the car in and out of the workshop when it starts to rain so we jacked it up inside and will work on it there!

(Things would be so much easier if someone would let us work on the car in the front room!!)

Here you can see me taking off the wheels after we put the car on axle stands.

Here I am with my two cat's Pearl and Portia (Portia is on my right)
We were talking about the cat food budget and how we might include more sausages in it.

Here I am looking for some new shock absorbers as Spencer told me that the shockers we have now are USELESS!!

But a terrible thing has happened................ All my money has gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spencer has now let me know that persons unknown have taken the entire budget and spent it on SHOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

whats a poor bear to do now,how am I going to get all the parts I need??????

I might have to send my cats out to work!!

Spencer checking the rear shock absorber mounting is ok, we have had some troubles with these and hope to change them soon

Here is Spencer using the pillar drill to drill a hole in a metal bar.

We have all the latest hi-tech tools and equipment in our workshop.

After he's done that he'll be making the fuel tank support.

He's such a hard working bear!!

This shows some more of the work we did to improve the strength of the rear suspension mounts.

It took us all day and at the end of the day Spencer and myself were KNACKERED.

Here I am fitting bolts to the upper box section as well.
To get the nuts on the inside of the box sections Spencer had a fantastic idea to use a short length of pipe , to which he attached a ring spanner. We then used blu tack to hold the nuts in the spanner and pushed it into the box section to meet up with the bolt.
I held the pipe while Spencer used the allen drive in the rachet to tighten it all up. Teamwork!!!
