Caroline Walker from Burnfoot is in the motoring spotlight this week. Caroline is a familiar sight around Buncrana and beyond with her mobile catering trailer (Caroline’s Chippy). The job demands a sturdy vehicle and what better than a 2005 Land Rover Discovery.
How long have you had the car?
I bought it from new two years ago.
Any plans to change?
No, I plan to hold on to it for a while longer yet.
Is it reliable?
It is. This is one of the benefits of having a newer vehicle.
Best thing about the car?
Four wheel drive is very handy and great for soft ground. The clutch is far tougher than other workhorses. You don’t smell the clutch burning like other 4X4’s that I have had.
How often do you wash it?
My husband, John, washes the car once a week
Any modifications?
It has corner enhancement and air suspension to cope with the trailer. I chose air suspension because the weight of the trailer is on the front end and this has been very heavy on tyre wear. A Mitsubishi 4X4 I had before this needed the back tyres to be changed after three months as they were down to the wire.
If you were the minister for finance what would you do to help motorists?
Consistency on the road surfaces. The bumps and hollows are accentuated when you tow a trailer.
What would you really like to be driving around in?
I would like to be driving around in our motorhome, that would mean we were on holiday!
Motoring.
