I've used the Motor Rail on several occasions, both car and motorbike and they don't mess around.The bikes are strapped down so tightly the forkseals usually give up!
Leading evidence: 'Use motor rail' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

The most frequently discussed action is 'Use but thats all i can think off' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suspected cause
However in saying that there's probably a good reason why, like you could be saying goodbye to your front bumper!

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

A mate of mine is looking for some advice, can anyone help?
He has a 996 4S Cab, and he wants to use the French Autorail service to go on holiday. They have refused to take the car, as it has only 8.5cm of ground clearance, and they insist on a minimum of 10cm. [

Any bright ideas?
Thanks

Is that a tahoe blue 964 you have now John?
Nice car with biplane spoiler.
Tell your friend to drive the damn thing down South or he can fly out and I will drive it out for him!
Charles
Indeed, Tahoe Blue 964 is my latest toy. I'm not convinced about the spoiler, and might put the original one back (if I can find one)
I rather think my friend was hoping for a more technical solution [&:], but I suppose it serves me right for asking such a question [8D].
Any other takers?
Might sound daft but.... could he tell them its a different type of 911 with higher ground clearence? im shure they probably wont know the difference. However in saying that there's probably a good reason why, like you could be saying goodbye to your front bumper! Sorry im not of much use but thats all i can think off
Andy
John,
I would advise your friend to take care!
I've used the Motor Rail on several occasions, both car and motorbike and they don't mess around.The bikes are strapped down so tightly the forkseals usually give up! whilst I think for the cars they use a mechanical "Chocking" devise and I think this is were the ground clearance is important.
He may find that if the chocks won't fit under the car, he will be refused and may struggle for a refund.
Hope this helps
John
John,
That must be a hell of a good paper round you have got at the weekends to go from a 924 to a 964 just like that! Can't have been a couple of months since you got the 924!
Good choice. Must have a closer look sometime.
