so I had a little road trip to paris.....
Discussion
Left on wednesday from Eastbourne to Dover 65miles, across to Calais then down one of the best roads Ive been on so far the A1 to paris 180miles of perfect newly built roads...! We went in the range rover since there was 5 of us but really want to do the trip again but in the lambo! One thing is that the ports and driving on/off the boats are definitely not lambo friendly with the ground clearance....how do people do it! Or what other options are there without extortionate cargo prices?
I think everyone knows about Gulzars Lambo and other cars so hardly a show off.
I've been on ferrys a few times in cars like a Dino, 328 and 355 and more often then not your taken out of the usual car lines and put in the boat next to all the lorries or at least right to the front of the boat to avoid people scratching the car. Never had too much of a problem getting over the ramps just take your time and approach them at an angle and the car should go over. Does the Lambo not have an adjustable ride height?

Take the tunnel G.
MaybeThe guildelines are tight - would be easy to curb a Lambo rear wheel I reckon.

..watched several times from the window of my brothers flat in central Paris as someone has used their vehicle to push the cars either side to get out of a parking space and winced with every contact (with empathy for the oblivious owners)..but the truth is not many people in Paris give a st about this, as was evident from not a single person taking a blind bit of notice of people driving into other vehicles..thats to say nothing of the driving in general!..
..if you got away with a trip there unscathed I would say you were very fortunate mate

Funny I nearly did the same trip last week, and I'm doing it again next week.
I found the tunnel was quite tight up in a bmw 7 series, but the curb runner things are round so they don't damage your tires.
The good thing about the train is you stay with your car, so you don't have to worry about other people damaging it.
