I'm thinking of taking a trip across to Mull in early May, and was hoping to take Lizzy. I am a touch concerned about the on/off ramps of the ferry and my wee nose - anyone done a ferry journey with their pride n' joy before? Is it a go'er?
Cheers,
Greg

Done the one to Calais, no problem. Just let them know on checkin

Ive taken the Exige onto the corran ferry and it is lower at the front than my elise. Youve just got to make sure that you take the ramp at 45 degrees or else it will ground. Its also a good idea to avoid spring tides if possible as they make things worse.

Had no problems with my old S2 on Mull Ferry a few years ago.
Also fine on Corran ferry
and Isle of Man ferry, though the ramp down to the loading jetty was a bit steep

Done Mull in my S1.
No Problems on the Ferry, it the roads that are a nightmare.
A lot of them are really properly tarmaced and have huge potholes.
But
It's a wonderful place to visit

No problem those ferry with my S1, depending on water level I generally drive on at an angle rather than stright on.
Rememebr a horror story mail on the SE list about a car sliding on the green much on the on ramp.
