Sandbanks - Chain Ferry
Discussion
Wow what a coincidence, I live in Sandbanks and I am getting a F430 Spider next week, I have been thinking about this very issue as when I get it I would love to go and enjoy the roads on the other side, some great drives and views.
I have to say I'm pretty sceptical it will be able to get on as it's a steep ramp. Though the ferry is quite wide so if it's not too busy you could try going on at an angle across the lanes to make it a bit smoother.
Just take it slow and have a spotter and see if it works I guess, let us know how you get on though as I would like to do it!

I decided to skip that option in my XKR ! At low tide the drop going into East Cowes is big and lots of little hatchbacks grounded out. Probably fine at high tide but the round trip by road is not that bad.

yes i was going to say beware of the tide level as that catches people out - i had a near miss on one of the scottish isle ferries last year with the tides causing the ramps to be too steep
Bloody good point. We crossed again today, twice, in blissful ignorance!HereBeMonsters said:
...I see it would have gone on easily though, but the back roads around Purbeck were lovely in the sunshine.
Great roads. I always do the whole loop if driving something interesting, and often even if not TheJimi said:
Dunno if it's just the photo, but the red in the interior really *pops* against the bodwork.
Awesome!
Thank you. It's Rosso leather as opposed to the darker Bordeaux. It really works with the Silverstone exterior.Awesome!
