Looks good Citroen! You are practically neighbors, are you picking it up in person? :)

I just talked with Terry over the weekend and he asked me to express his apologies for any delays in the orders for COW members, he did not expect so much interest in the Indy 4 whips. He said that the original two or three months estimate could be doubled. I have an 8ft on order and have been waiting a few months already too.

Cant wait ....only a week until I seal the deal.

In the meantime...start brushing up on some tips for beginners. Are there any good threads here???

Been twenty years or so since I last had a bullwhip...and that was a piece of...., I remember the leather all coming loose...never oiled it though and would have practised on concrete a lot too :roll:

Reminds me of the old Lost In Space episode where the alien robot guard (Robby the robot) repeats in a rising voice: "Sentence will be doubled!!....Sentence will be doubled!!!"

errr, Ok you had to be there.

Terry's whips are great. I'm sure you will be very impressed.

Oh!! I ordered just after the QM last year... so maybe sometime between Nov. 9th and Nov. 15! That means I must not have long to go! [-o< [-o<
