Not sure if this has been posted - but it's a quick video showing Toyota's Roll On / Roll Off ships. Quite a few FR-S seen driving off the ship. This is how all of our toys got delivered from Japan:

Very cool. I never knew that was how they did it. Makes perfect sense.

Cool! Thanks for the post.

Simply amazing how many cars they can hold in that 1 ship. I would love to take a walk through, or maybe drive.

I saw a video a long time ago interviewing the driver in Japan who load up the ships, those guys are amazing! Also my dealer invoice actually showed me what ship my car came on, the Mighty London Highway!

How do the guys who drive those cars on and off get in them in the first place? It looked like there was all of 1 foot between cars.

You go in order, so the first car that they drive off is not between two cars and then you drive off the next car and so on...I would assume.
