Getting the Exige on the Ferry

I'm thinking of taking the Exige with me over to Northern Ireland in the summer but was wondering if it would have any clearance issues getting on the Ferry. Stats in the image below.

Most likely it will be from Troon to Larne and same route on the way back.

You'll not have a problem as long as you take it at an angle - it cant be any worse than the 2-11s are.

There is a more "General" way that Orange vehicles can get on a ferry:

Hope it works on yellow?

Do you know someone who has taken a 2-Eleven on the Ferry and also any idea what ride height they are at the front?

Scotty/Stu's shed has been on the Newcastle & Harwich ferries. Dont have a clue what the ride height is but it'll be lower than a V6 Exige and with the plank of a splitter on the front the angle of attack will be worse. The guys on the ferries tend to be pretty good and will guide you on.
Is the V6 lower than the S2? I've had mine on many ferries without any issues. The Corran is probably the worst I've seen any even it's fine if you take it at an angle.
If you're that worried you can take my RGB over for the weekend and I'll look after your V6 ;-)

2-11 ride height is 100/110 as standard. I'm sure Scottys is/has been lower.

Newcastle never been an issue. You always get looked after. :thumbsup

If you take the new ferry from Cairnryan you will have no issues, you barely notice there is a ramp on!

Thanks for all the input.

I got on and off that ferry with very low car. They asked me to park at door to avoid ramps inside the boat :thumbsup

Was that Troon or Cairnryan?
