Morning all.
Taking the Z4 on a French adventure this year and it's my first time taking the car abroad, also the first time using the train. So a couple of queries...
When I was booking I mentioned that it was a car with low ground clearance, the advisor helpfully said that they'd book it in as a high vehicle so to assign me to the single level decks and avoid any issues with embarking. Now, I assume this means I just follow the signs in the terminals for vehicles over 1.85m high and ignore the car lanes?
Second, I assume it works a lot like Eurostar in that customs checks are done before embarking both sides so getting off is as simple as driving off and away you go.
Third, sort of related. Any decent pub food near Folkestone? We are travelling on a Sunday with a 8:30pm departure or similar, so planning to take our time driving down and eating en route, then staying in a hotel in Calais for the night
