I may miss out again on a cruise in Feb. I am only away the first week with work but do not get home until late Feb 6. The rest of the month (including Feb 7) I have a number of commitments at the golf club.

I guess March is CBTB and COTM. I need to put some kms on CREWZR (lease) so may even get to both of these. COTM though maybe just a drop in while traveling to Canberra.

I so look foward to Easter and Tassie Cruise!

We will not be able to make any cruises in Feb,as we will be packing up and heading to the High country for a while.Might even give Frank a wave as we go down the other side to the water..
We are looking forward to Chryslers by the Bay,Chryslers on the Murray and the Tassie trip at Easter..

Interesting to read in the latest Cruzin magazine, issue 112, Feb 2010 in the news & reviews section, a small write up on the Chrysler Day at Carribean Gardens.
Quote, " With the resurgence of Chrysler Corporation in the past decade or so, a new breed of enthusiast has emerged to proudly show off their modern day Chrysler 300C's and PT Cruisers. "

Good to see some publicity even if it is only a few words. At least the moderns are recognised as making some impact.
