Sagaris Eurotunnel
Discussion
Fine with the T350 on several trips to Le Mans. They tend to exhibit (whisper it) common sense and pull sports cars out into a separate lane that then gets loaded onto the lower deck. A greater problem is the width. And their desire to park you on the bumper of the car in front. I overcome the latter by coasting forwards with reverse already engaged so that when the bloke in the hi-viz starts walking past on his way to the next vehicle, I can let the clutch up and move a few inches backwards. This avoids exchanging paint codes when there's tonnes of space anyway

We got told off for this back in June (also a low Tamora is also fine on Eurotunnel).We were the last car in the carriage and there was lots of space behind us so I backed up a couple of feet when the marshalling person had walked off ( see pic for spacing and a dirty car) .
When she came back down the train (don't think they usually do that), she said we should have stayed close. Reasoning seemed to be that, if there was a crash / sudden stop, cars would have less rolling distance before hitting each other. That might make a little sense.
Yep, no problem getting any TVR on the tunnel. We were told off for reversing back too, the other reason was that if anyone was walking in between the cars, they could break their legs etc.
Just watch the wheels, on entry as the curbs inside the train are low and ideal for rim damage

No trouble with a Sag or any other TVR, it will be others rolling into you. I always get out and bang on their window, attempt a smile and tell them the car behind/in front is rather special and they really should pull up the handbrake and enagage first gear. Don't be shy, I do it every time even for others in the group if we are not together.
This follows a Ferrari in our group, a few years ago, being rolled into by something....
Don't forget to make some noise as you drive off!
