Since I was talking about car yesterday, I thought about my old cars.  In theory, we could have taken at least one of the cars with us since we are nowhere near filling up the 40-foot container that the company provides for shipment of our things.  In practice, it seems quite complicated to get the export and registration papers, and with unknown emission control standard.  It would have been too much hassle to keep either one of them.  The first one to go was the beemer.  It was a fun car for us, and we hope M and A will enjoy the use of it.

In retrospect,  this car would be great for commuting between Neuchâtel and Lausanne – autoroutes 1 and 5  have no cracks or potholes and the 8 or so tunnels on the way have the smoothest black tarmac.
