Default I've bitten the bullet

For some months now I've been procrastinating over purchasing a Territory AWD diesel to replace my somewhat ageing Land Cruiser (1992). Don't get me wrong. The Cruiser is a great offroad and tow vehicle however my wife has health problems that are aggravated by the Toyota's rather rough ride and I've long been attracted by the available power in the Jaguar/Rover engine in the Territory for towing our 2.5 tonne caravan.
Well, I've bought said Territory, albeit a used one,a 2013 model. Our bank balance is not conducive to buying new cars these days. I take delivery this week and I'm looking forward to it. Now to start the fitting out process.
EDIT: This will be my fifteenth Ford, commencing with a 1956 Mark 1 Zephyr.

If only, mate. I traded that Zephyr on an XM Falcon in about 1966. No money and no brains back then!
