Mike,
Good weather in New Zealand has shifted with Global Climatic changes. Now be
tter to visit late summer in the February/March period where it is more stab
le.
Do come and visit us in Christchurch, on =98main=99 scenic, rugg
ed and beautiful South Island of NZ.
All the best for the festive season.
Cheers,
Tim

merous 912S powered Europa's says the same thing - mine is the fastest 912S h

t I am always bending my neck to see out the windshield. The extra 2.5 inche
s or so is really worth while.
