With lemans coming up in less than one month I have started wondering about my clearance onto the car ferry to get me to France. For the last 3 years my Elise has been fine but the exige s is slightly lower. Any exige owners out there any experiences, ld lines to le halve if that matters.

Thanks smile

Approach the ramp at an angle and slowly, both driving on and off the ferry.

Doubt you'll have any problems. My exige used to get over the monster speed bumps in my street (Even with a well built mate in the passenger seat) Yes they are low but theres very little overhang so tyres lift the front before it hits. The GT3 on the other hand likes to scrape the front splitter for fun. Even on a B road it grounds out sometimes.
