Yep, today I deliver the Avan for the new owner so around 3.00pm the Avan will be no longer with me A sad day but a good day as well. I have had heaps of fun and we both have seen some really nice paces. Now for "Part two" of the big day, when I pick up the "Chief" 19/11.

Went for another trip south to check out a few other models and saw Kingdoms. We were impressed with the finish and their current sale price is substantially cheaper than others on our short list. $5000 will buy a lot of diesel for a trip.

Well, C1, C2 and myself just got back from said show a little disappointed. If you wanted to but a CV, all good but as far as the smaller toys go not as good as previous years I have been.

Last evening our Microwave oven wouldnt heat or cook even though the containers were warm to the touch. It is 7 years old. My thoughts are to replace it. It always has been a concern as it sure does creak while we are motoring..... Would appreciate any advice.
