Thanks.Actually it has very good street manners and i will find out in few weeks that how it behaves on the dirt tracks (as i am planning an off road/mountain trip).You are absolutely correct about the weather here in California,it is fantastic all year around.I am lucky (Alhamdolilah) that the place where i live i have access to all the condition that one like to have,80 miles north we have snow covered mountains (although not very very high about 6000+ feet),ocean is 45-55 miles west from here and desert is about 75-80 miles east from my house,so it is a win win situation!
