Le Mans is bearing down, 50 days and counting according to Jimmer. So will my red 3R get on the ferry without being grounded?
I'll cry if Jimmer and Steve sail away and MikeN and me are left at Dover.
So does anyone have any experience in mounting ferries.
Once again cheers for your help.
Chris.

Red 3R, no way, any colour other than red is fine!

I'll have a beer with you on the dockside mate. Cos if you're Noble don't make it on, Mine don't either !!

On a brighter note, my bruv-in-law had a stupidly low porsche (that he assures me was lower than the M12) that he took to France on the ferry. They had to do a bit of angular ramp climbing, but got it on in the end !

For Le Mans week the Ferry companies generally bring out long boards to flatten the bumps for low clearance cars. You should be OK.

Just remember to cut across at an angle when going onto the ramp.

Danny,
You were right. Sea France have come up trumps and said they will have the boards out for Le Mans week, so says the nice lady at Sea France. They have amended my booking reference accordingly. Only one Noble per Ferry. So that's tough on MikeN. You'll have to wait for the next one. But hey, better than than a blown up scoob!!

I'll be in your mirrors as you load onto the ferry Chris. I won't give them time to whip the ramps away. If they try they'll be eating my front splitter..
