NSX 2013 Ferry trip?

[NSX9]

Hi,

We have been asked about how good the access is onto the Ferry from Melbourne to Tassie. The owner is keen to come on the 2013 run but has a lowered car and as we know the standard ones are low anyway especially with the rubber skirt in place.

Anyone had experience on the ferry?

I would think clearance is fine on those bigger boats. (the ones O/S are nearly flat drive on/off)
This is a photo of the ramp and it looks fine to me http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Victoria/Box-Hill/blog-479981.html

The response to this run has been great with 20+ NSX's coming already, however we need your deposits ASAP.

Chexk out the other thread for details.

Cheers,
Scott

I have had my NSX on the Ferry to & From Tasmania. At the Time i had a Wings West front Lip & Marga Hills side skirts & the car is about 3" off the ground.

Access will depend on what the Tide is & what level they decide to put you on.

The first time they put me on the Same level as the Trucks & i drove straight on & drove straight off.
The 2nd time I had to go to up the ramp to the higher level, I had to take it pretty slow but made it without scraping anything.

Thanks for the info whrdnsx,

I am sure we can organise to get the cars on the flat approach floor/level/deck which should keep us all happy.

The trip will be worth the drive down......promise!

Did you get my email re additional benefits for the interstate attendees?

Hi Guys

I have had my car on the ferry with Type-S suspension and had no problem. Just have to be a little careful . See you guys in Tazzy next year.

I won't be able to go, I already had 2 overseas trips booked for this year so not in the budget.

But I used to live in Tasmania so I have already experienced all the good roads & the race tracks. Symmons Plains is a little boring, all power & brakes. Baskerville is the challenging circuit & would be my choice of track.

I took a too low Porsche 968CS over for Targa Tas and the ferry was no big hassle
