chevpol Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Morning all :morning:, just a quicky(!) how much does Rex charge to transport vehicles to and from the show? Mark :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 That all depends, what the vehicle is, where it is etc. In some cases he'll use his own truck, in other cases he'll put money towards transport costs. You need to contact him for a quote, this year his low loader was not as busy as previous years, so they may be taking on less jobs now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite!! Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 You would also have to fit in with Rex's timetable, he may only give you a few hours notice of pick up & drop off, you may have to wait a week to get your MV's back too. I believe that Chris was unloading his kit in the early hours of the morning this year.. I would of said that the lowloader was as busy as other years, Rex had 3 teams of drivers working this year & it was out all the time during the 2 weeks before the show that I was there..

sirhc Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Lee is correct, our vehicles are typically at the Hop Farm for 3 weeks. They have to be ready to go up to 2 weeks before the show, and may not come back for up to 2 weeks after. We usually get notified of collection or drop off 12 to 24 hours before, so you need to be very flexible. I didn't see as many vehicles arriving during the show as usual, normally Rex's truck is bringing something new in every day. Maybe they'd just been efficient and everything was on site already.

Lord Burley Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Well there didnt seem to be that much armour there this year. Not compared to previous years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Well there didnt seem to be that much armour there this year. Not compared to previous years. I think it has to do with the D-Day commemorations. People could probably only afford 1 of the events and chose D-Day ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
