W&p rip

[Jesse Browning]

Fwiw, I mostly only take the larger vehicles to shows that pay the transport costs. The exception are local shows that I can drive the vehicles to. I certainly cant, nor ever could afford the transport costs. A MV show that charges admission, and charges me to bring a vehicle??? No.

I had a similar offer from one of the cruise nights in the nearby city (20kms away) of Brandon. I had the carrier at cruise night, loaded for battle. It caught the eye of a lady who holds the "World of Wheels" car show in Winnipeg, about 200km away. She actually offered to let me display it in World of Wheels for free as a featured vehicle, whereas most of the regular enthusiasts would have to pay. The public also pays a pretty hefty fee to view the vehicles. I would have been on the hook for the transportation of my carrier as well as for any days off that I would have to take to be there.



I declined the generous offer.

The W&P owner did pay for certain kit to be collected... but their organisation and communication was appalling.

I was booked to attend one of the shows at Folkestone, an agreement was made for a low loader to come to mine to collect my kit... at their cost.

I spent 2 days prepping everything for collection.

My experience was along these lines

• Monday - Planned collection... no show.
• Tuesday - re-planned collection... no show.
• Thursday - re-planned collection... no show.
• Friday - can we re-plan for Tuesday next week please

I did not attend.
