gettin on the ferry!?!
« on: 06 October 2005, 07:39 »
as u all know im off to guernsey next week for good. Infact, this time next week il have moved into my new flat overlookin pembrook bay!!!!!!

but i cant stop worryin about gettin my car on and off the ferry! is there anything i can do to help? its dropped 40mil and does sit pretty low. Its goin to be loaded up with as much as i can get in it aswell. Plus has a deep front splitter on it which im not takin off in a hurry! had to take the bumper off to get in on there!

any suggestions or should i stop worryin? just dont want to really bugger it up!

thats the best mk3 ive seen..ever! its just clean and subtle.. :cool:

Take 4 planks of wood, They dont need to be huge, Just around half the width of a tire. When i had to have my car put on the bottom of a lorry we put one plank of wood infront of each wheel and going up to the ramp of the truck. that propped the car up just enaugh to get onto the back with no scraping  :cool:
