What Barry says, they know as soon as they see you where you need to be, never had a problem.

Yes! Because you have the only interesting car on the entire train and are captive; you will be holding session all journey. I suggest printing publicity material with answers to the most common questions wink Coming back from Le Mans with "only" a T350, you'd have thought I'd be safe... Don't think the TVR Power exhaust in the confines of a train helped my cause.

Oh right, access. No problems - they divert you to the bottom deck as previously said smile

Hmmm. All those lovely roads. cloud9 Is it really much better to stay on the M25?

Biggest problem is keeping the speed down in the noisy tunnel train.

Train is awesome, do watch out for the speed bumps before the security and border on the UK side though, they are nasty go over diagonal jobs.

Hi Clive, hope your enjoying it.

I've taken it on the chunnel before, no problems with clearance. They directed me onto the lower deck as others have said. Didn't get any attention either...

(Sounded nice inside the train though!)

Regards
Lee
