///Whippy aerial - Market watch

Back in the day I used to remove my stereo faceplate and carry it in its case when parked up.
I now do this for my whippy.

I hear Hexagon are buying them up.
 
I've been a fan of whippy's ever since 1973 this was our sports moped year.
My mate had a yellow Puch which he attached a yellow 6' whippy, pure class :thumbsup: :D

I used to do the same with my faceplate too on all my aftermarket headunits , although i couldn't see anyone wanting my first ever car radio that also had a removeable plate. :oops: Just like this one:

I'd advise anyone who's car currently resembles an oversized 80's mobile phone to purchase this to restore the original lines and design that makes the Z so appealing. :thumbsup:
 
I have cherished my whippy. Never have the stereo above level 3 until it is fully warmed up and even then it's only on loud for short bursts. Only play heavy metal on special occasions. :)

Man. I must be one of the few who likes the long whip. I suppose it's my amateur radio (ham radio in common parlance) that enjoys a longer antenna so I can get better reception.

Besides, you know longer is better...

No, there are plenty of whippy fanciers on here and the trend for the correct Z appendage is on the increase, isn't it Chris :rofl:

You don't need man maths to realise it's a great time to upgrade to a whippy, keep it well, enjoy, and you should see a profit when time comes to move it on :thumbsup:

Now we will see the smiles wiped of the faces of the stubbed members, I think it will be wise to remove the expensive whippy when parked up, can't be to careful :)
 
Just a word to the wise folks, fakes are now flooding the ///W market, they might look OK but they get very unstable at higher motorway speeds - avoid :thumbsdown:

As the owner of side covers AND a whippy I no longer need to worry about any depreciation on the Zed. In a couple of years' time they will be worth thousands! :)

Top tip: the next big thing is mudflaps!
 
News flash. Don't use the radio. :o If your buying a used whippy to add to your investment portfolio, be sure to check the usage History to ensure it has never received Chris Evans. Any such Whippies should not be attached to your Zed. Instead they should be packaged securely and sent to Amazon Prime. :wink:
 
I gave mine away to a forum member for FREE :P

I think he'd just seen 50 shades of grey and it gave him some ideas...can't think of any other reason anyone would actually want one! :rofl:
 
I finnally got round to fitting a stubby last week (late i know) and slung the whippy in a box somewhere..... i had no idea of their value :lol: :lol:
 
I sold my M but kept the whip. I knew what would appreciate most over time.
