Ive just been on the dock in Birkenhead where we drop our tanks going to Ireland and there was 2 car transporters. One had a green FRS and one had a blue FRS, i stopped to have a chat with the guy who had the blue one and he said that they are a nice car and only just get on the transporter coz they are low.

He then tells me that they are already damaged getting on and off the boat, apparently all the underneath of the from bumpers are scratched! So a little warning, check under the front bumper if your picking one up, espcially if you are in Ireland. I've seen how these idiots drive the new cars onto the boat, i was sickend at one point, There is a pretty big bump before you go to the boat and they taking a brand new Audi A4 across, it hit this bump doing about 30-40mpg and it come off the floor and nose dived. I couldnt believe it.

So just check if your due for picking one up in Ireland!

You should see some of the cars that get delivered to the massive car compound next door to my workshop, where they have hit trees when on the transporters and they even have some that have fallen off the transporter.

Yeah but how fast was he going???

Thanks for the tip, these blokes that drive car transporters are probablyso used to seeing fancy brand new cars it's probably not in their nature to take extreme care with them, all their worried about is getting the cars on/off and how fast they can get there.
