ME AND MY MOTOR-ANNE O'HAGAN









I met up with Anne O’Hagan this week after her day with the Dalai Lama in Derry. The Dalai Lama was invited to the Millennium Forum to speak on behalf of the Children in Crossfire charity. His words about respecting other people, kindness, compassion and respect for fellow human beings give a powerful message. One that some motorists should listen to!

Anne has a Holistic Therapy centre in Buncrana where she offers people a range of treatments including Reiki (for deep relaxation), Indian head massage, Crystal healing, Spiritual healing, and Meditation classes. In the first week of August, Anne will be moving to the treatment rooms at the Food for Thought Health Shop in the town. Anne can be contacted on 0871334235

Ann has a new Opel Corsa 1.2 automatic

How long have you had the car?
I have had the car from new since January of this year.

Is this your first new car?
I have had three new cars in the past. The garage man (George Sweeney in Buncrana) said that once you buy a new car you are very reluctant to buy a used one. He is right! This is my first five-door model though and I find it far more practical than the three door models.

You have an ‘ L’ plate on the back of the car. Who is taking lessons?
My daughter Pamela is taking lessons. She hopes to take her test soon.

Is it reliable?
Yes. I love just jumping in and turning the key.

How often do you wash it?
If the weather is good I wash it once a week.

Best thing about the car?

I find the car very solid and you feel safe in it. I drove a Fiat Punto before this and although it had great features such as town power steering, it was a bit tinny.


What would you do to help motorists?
Introduce cycle lanes and increase the speed limit to 120km per hour on dual carriageways and motorways. This would keep things moving.

A bit more civility on the roads would be a good idea too. Sometime you can wait ages at junctions before someone lets you out!

Wise words?
Treat people as you would like to be treated!
