TGIF............Yes it's Friday again and the last one in January, where does the time go. We arrived at Old-Town at our usual time with our 79 T-Bird, Buzz and Sue came in about the same time with their 2003 "Wolfwagon", they headed for Flippers for their lunch. Larry was next with his 93 Chevy P U. He went to TexMex to see his friends there. Tom Coupe made it out with his 83 Ford P U, it looks great after the makeover. Stan and Maryann brought the Ford Escape, the Pacer is not ready for cruising yet. Also a first time cruiser was in line, Carl and Di Sheran who reside near Tampa had their 1984 Buick Regal here tonight. They had this cruiser about 2 years and also belong to the High Roller Car Club. Ramon was early with his 2006 Mustang, Doug was here with his Big 2007 Chevy Truck, Nelson and Sharon Farris with their 1981 Red T-Top Corvette and Barry had his 2009 PT Cruiser along with a few others were waiting for 5 o'clock.

After we found our favorite spot we were talking to a very nice couple from Yorkshire, England. Keith and Vivien Ellis are here on a two week vacation. They sure were enjoying the warmer weather that we have in Florida. We informed them about our other cruises here at Old-Town. We gave them a complimentary cruise paper and they said they would follow our cruise on Steve Butler's web site.

After 5 Gator arrived and joined Larry to enjoy our Friday Night Cruise. Block 4 seemed like a truck show tonight. Among them were Kelly and her 2002 Dodge Ram and Gerald with his 96 Ford P U. Bob and his 2006 PT was the only non truck there.

Billy with his 2005 PT Cruiser and Ralph with his 2001 PT were parked with Toby Buck who is Cruiser of the Month for January. Congratulations Toby.
