Daheim in meiner Wohnung herrscht während dessen totaler Stillstand. Es dauert noch Jahre bis alle Umzugskartons aus der Ecke im Wohnzimmer verschwunden sind. Als das Projekt dann beendet ist und ich meine rote BMW wieder heim bringe, keimt Wehmut auf. Doch ein paar Jahre später gibt es wieder ein Projekt in der Schweiz. Diesmal lasse ich die rote BMW daheim und fahre statt dessen mit dem roten Peugeot 406 Coupé nach Luzern. Der Peugeot spult fahrt **Fahrt um Fahrt*** ab.
