Thanks Mr PLV
Anne van Alkemade
There is definitely something magical about Mr Whippe!!! Just can’t get Greensleeves out of my head now.
Melinda Kerr
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 :)

Have you sent this photo to Mr.Whippe? I see $$$$, if they’ve got a few brains.
Jaybe
Now THAT’s an ice cream van! Wicked !
Roland Schicht
Ok. Ok. It’;s a fake Mr.Whippy…. well forget about the $$$, no wonder this faker got mad at you when you took this Photo of his FAKEMOBIL… still it’s a phantastic image.
Melinda Kerr replied
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!
