Experience of shipping a car UK/USA and back?
Discussion
I've been invited to race my classic in the US. I'd like to ship it there, collect it at the port and drive it to the venue, for an added adventure.
The car is capable for this - it's UK road legal and I've driven it to Classic Le Mans, twice.
The possibilities seem to be:
Container, which I can do with others going to the same event, but they want to have the container shipped direct to the venue. Extracting my car at the port doesn't seem to be an option.
OR
RoRo, like a Channel ferry, but without me aboard. I turn up at the port, collect it and set off on my adventure.
I've heard horror stories of RoRo - anyone have experience of either option?
Thanks!
