There is definitely something magical about Mr Whippe!!! Just can’t get Greensleeves out of my head now.
Melinda Kerr, 7 months ago
The real tragedy of the story is that Mr Whippy told me off for taking the shot. My childhood dreams were shattered until I realise as you point out Anne he was actually Mr Whippe and not Mr Whippy. Ha ha!! Fraud…

I can’t wait to show Abe this – he wants to be an ice-cream man when he grows up – but only at the weekends as he has animals to save during the week :)

An ice-cream maker during the week and an animal saver during the weekend! Sounds like the perfect little guy!

Have you sent this photo to Mr.Whippe? I see $$$$, if they’ve got a few brains.
Jaybe, 3 months ago
Now THAT’s an ice cream van! Wicked !
Roland Schicht, 3 months ago
Ok. Ok. It’;s a fake Mr.Whippy…. well forget about the $$$, no wonder this faker got mad at you when you took this Photo of his FAKEMOBIL… still it’s a phantastic image.
Melinda Kerr in reply to Roland Schicht’s comment, 3 months ago
Hi Roland in retrospect i think he got mad because he mightn’t have had a permit for where he was selling his wares! :)

My in-laws used to own a ice-cream truck like this one. I spent hours in it on weekends while my boyfriend (now my husband) worked in it. It would get stinking hot in summer, but the free ice-cream was fantastic! I love this shot…those colours are amazing!
