Hi All,

I have just 2 weeks ago bought 3rd generation RB Bathurst type RX7.  The car has been lowered and the front spoiler is only 5” above the ground (which is a pain in the a…. in London).  My question is has any one taken their lowered RX on a P&O ferry from Portsmouth to Bilbo and came a cross problems getting on/off the ferry.  I am afraid that the company is probably not aware how low the car is and when I called their reassured me it was going to be fine..
I also have white RX7 turbo 2 on a G plate for sale, 60k on a new engine (Rotechnics job) any one interested? New clutch, face-off stereo, no rust â€" car looks and drivers superb

Not been on the Portsmouth Bilbao route but go the Dublin/Holyhead & Dun Laoighre route often. Every time I move onto the ramp, those nice chaps put extra ropes and stuff down to make the step less.

Although a bit hit and miss it seems to work and so far no scratches. Having said that other unmanned ramps can be steep, but I take these at an angle.

Not lowered myself but I\'d say 5 inches is similar to mine.....

Sorry cant be more help.
