where were you?
Running around the eastern end of Bass Strait. Glorious weather (for a change - had hail last week); blue seas & skies, nothing too difficult to deal with by way of crosswinds, everything working as it should, and those GTIO-520s just purring away at 1700 RPM. Even the passengers played fair and didn't bring everything including the kitchen sink. A gentleman's twin.

I hate to think what a modern one would cost today and Cessna don't have a great track record at keeping older aircraft in production when they threaten sales of their more modern ones. For example, the demise of the C441 once the Citation started rolling down the line.
