Thought I would give a little background about myself. At present I am also a member of a LR freelander forum but from the 1 SEPT 2014 I shall be the owner of the new nissan x-Trail having ordered one this Saturday gone. Having retired not long ago My wife and I have no need for 2 cars so part exchanging for the Nissan. Having made many friend on the Freelander forum I shall pop back from time to time to keep an eye on things but really looking foreward to owning the new Nissan.

Ok what model did I go for .

It is the Tekna 4x4 diesel manual  with 7 seats in silver (for children and grandchildren when in this country)

 Don't get me wrong the Freelander is a fantastic vehicle and will miss it terribly  but saving around £1200 a year without including fuel is a lot and we no longer need two cars ( wife has a Kia Ceed estate)

My hobby is Photography to which I am fairly deep into and love doing specialising in wildlife mainly and also into video work as well..

 I have owned many 4x4 vehicles  from Toyota landcruisers (3) Isuzu Trooper- Honda CR-V -lexus rx300 se-l (2) -Ford Explorer- LR Range Rover and Freelander- Kia Sorento etc etc but never a Nissan so time for a change and the last one now, old age creeping up on me.

My wife and I for the last 21 year ran a boarding kennel and cattery which we recently sold in the midlands and moved to  Bexhill on sea East Sussex. So if any members live around that area I would love to meet up with them later on (after 1 sept 2014 that is)
