Will a WR1 fit on the Seacat?

[Nick555]

Hi

Having already booked on the Seacat, I thought that I should check whether I'll actually fit up the ramp. Can anyone please confirm if I'll be OK? [:^)]

The WR1 is standard.

Edited to fix typos

Slowly!!, then it should be fine as they do have a rope mat for when tide is out and they will watch you on and off.

And we have had at least 3 or 4 WR1s over as well as having a local one

The ramp on/off at Liverpool can be tight for lip spoiler but my 05 was ok, the only problem could be when you get back to liverpool if there is a swell as then the ramp of the boat goes up an down a bit, you just have to pick yer moment then!.

Thanks Richard

We're coming over on a house hunting trip next week & I booked the Seacat because the timings fitted in well. I then got a cold shiver down my neck worrying about getting onboard! [:$]

I'm certainly planning to pop in. When are you open, is it a petrol station or car repairs, what's the garage called?

A general question about petrol. I've used Optimax from new in the Scoob & I will probably need a refill on the island. How do I get the right fuel? Do I buy regular or SUL & where do I get octane booster & how much do I put in?

My MY06 JDM STi although mapped for optimax, ran fine on Total Excelium plus bottle of millers Octane Plus per tank full

I also keep to stronger octane boosters here at the garage as well(CVL & CVL Turbo).

 

Or Shell super is available over here (not my site)  and then add the above

FROM ME!![]

[Nick555]

Good, there's a very strong chance that I will drive off the ferry needing some petrol!

[Nick555]

Everything went well on the ferry. The Seacat was cancelled at Liverpool when we came across, so we drove up to Heysham to take the Ben-my-Chree.  Does the Heysham terminal remind anyone of an old Doom level?  Getting on the ferry was fine & once onboard, the distances between cars was good. The trip was a bit stomach churning though. We went back on the Superseacat2.  OK to get onboard, but a little tight navigating once on the board. There was a couple of tight turns. The vehciles park closer on board, but we were waved into a little triangular section in the stern.

I did some pretty poor mpg on the island, only managing about 175 miles per tank, instead of the usual 250 miles in the UK.

yeah...but i bet you had some fun.[]

[Nick555]

Yes, much fun I had.

It's a nice surprise not to be beeped & flashed just because I've overtaken someone.
