Pretty sure you can fit a motorhome in there so any 'car' will be fine? How small do you think the train is??? Have you been on it before?

merc gl mate, it's 185cm tall which is the height limit, but it's apparently wider than the width limit so if he rocks up there already having paid for his ticket will he have to pay more if it doesn't fit and they have to shunt him across to the lorry side?

even eurotunnel couldn't answer him as they said it would be a case of him rocking up and then sorting it out

It is the same train, same price, just rock up they put you in a different lane or just book with a roof box and they put you in there anyways.

No panic
