EDIT: So this is now a poll thread as well as a FS thread for my whippy. Not that anyone's interested in buying a whippy are they ?? :P

The poll; stubby, whippy or total delete?

There are afficionado's, advocates, champions, proponents and exponents for each camp. Thus as your affable, acerbic, adjudicatory arbiter of this meaningless poll, pray cast your vote my merry gentlefolk....






They can tear my fingernails out, I'll never go back to using the whippy. Hence FS. Open to offers.

I understand he already has 10 in reserve, stored at different locations around Europe. Plus various paid service-providers to courier one to him wherever he happens to be in the world. Just in case. Clever. :thumbsup:

En guard!
I actually used to fence competitively until i nearly lost an eye. I preferred epée over foil. Also fought Bruce Dickinson (iron maiden) at a charity match once. He kicked my arse, but i was only 15 at the time! At the end of the match he said 'you did alriight' as i grimaced politely. The big-headed bugger, youda thought he'd let me win. Meh.

Theyre all over ebay. I think theres a peugeot one which most seem to have gone for. Mine was a €5 generic ebay special and works fine, at least in Holland - where its pretty flat :wink:

Such flippancy over the lovely whippy, you lot should hang your heads in shame :poke:

One day you will see the errors of you way and know the grubby stubby is just wrong for the lovely lines (apart the the E89 rear end) of the Z4.
I should set up a whippy rescue centre, no whippy would be turned away :whip: :whip: :wink:
