Sandbanks - Chain Ferry

[mwstewart]

F430 Spider; not the lowest, but it will scrape on speed bumps if I'm not careful.

Can I board the ferry tomorrow or should I save myself the embarassament of trying? I seem to remember there's quite a dip before the ramp up to the ferry.

Thanks.

[mwstewart]

Thanks both. I'll give it a go and report back.

Thanks all - no problem on or off. A minor scrape on the way out so I shall get some of those skid plates fitted ASAP.

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!

...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

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.
