Paris Tomorrow

[Speed Buzz]

I have to drive down to Paris tomorrow for work and was thinking about taking the T350 is there anything i should consider?
Is taking the car on the Channel tunnel ok for instance as when i have been to Le Mans before in other TVRs it has always been on the ferry!
Hoping to get some free time on the Friday and return Saturday

A few of the guys who went to the ring at the weekend used the tunnel, I didn't her of anyone having any trouble.

Took the tuscan, not a problem.
Drive on and off is brilliant.

Be prepared for lots of ppl ogling the car though.

No probs on train. Took my Tuscan last weekend. They will put you on the lower deck.
If any muppet tries to direct you up onto the upper deck, refuse point blank. You will ground.
Most of the staff are in the know on ground clearance so you should have no probs.
Have a great trip and watch out for the laser guns....they are strangely attracted to UK number plates.

Take Chimaera on tunnel no probs and last year took the Cerb which was very very low then - and all fine!

Paris

T350

Rendezvous - part deux

No probs, they sound pretty good in there too!

Chim was no problem on the train. Parisian driving is unusual but no big deal; street parking is more like ram raiding and i really wouldn't risk it. Fortunately there are loads of Vinci car parks which are fine.

Thanks all for your advice
Crossing is booked looking forward to a great couple of days

Better still when you check in tell them its a van greater than 1.85m and they will stick you in with the coaches, no tight squeeze and its a straight run down a 1/4 mile tunnel on a train, echos really nicely!

Never had a problem with the chim on the train, and I've been loads of times. The only thing I would say is get the lower deck, when ever I pull up next to the train I ask the loader for the lower deck and they are all ways quite happy.
