about 10 of us in a row went to le mans this year.
not a problem, the ferry companies are normaly very good and even managed to get a f40 on during low tide !!!

Shouldn't have a problem at all.
When I went to Le Mans a couple of years ago they were putting all the low cars in a specific line for boarding. We didn't have to go up or down any ramps to speak of.
Then on the way home we were a bit late and as I was approaching the ramps with everyone else they beckoned me out of the queue and had saved some space in the special area for stupid low cars!
Guess it's not in their interest for anyone to get stuck on the way on and off!

I just went to euro (but in a vw bora
), and I'm pretty sure I can say theyll need to give you special treatment to get on without touching the floor

I've been across the channel three times in my VX...speed ferries, normal ferry and eurotunnel. No problems with any of them, the loading staff are well aware of clearance problems especially around Le Mans time.

No problem on any ferry for me. The Sandbanks ferry has the least clearance for me. The French ones are no prob though.
