"wish I had a grey Cortina, whiplash aerial, racing trim... Cortina owner, no-one meaner, wish that I could be like him"...
(It's a song).

It's called a whipliash aerial.
Not cool on a Mini though.
(not sure if it's cool on anything... maybe on a scorpion tank)

Best wishes
Monty

discourage this guy from adding to chavism by putting a whiplash aerial on his Mini...

Someone start a pole - should this guy put a whiplash on a Mini or not... ?

Whilst on the subject of aerials, where can I get the type that fit onto the boot, they're spiraled at the bottom.. or are these just for CB radios? I'll loose my aerial when I refit the front.

how are they chavvy? i think this is the right aerial i mean, don't they sometimes start at the back of the car e.g. and the rear bumper and then like curve over and attach to the front of the car to somewhere like the front wing?

I cant find one anywhere over the internet,

cheers,

ash,

I know you can get them like that but I've not seen one for years. The one I've got is after looking for a year online, never found any, so I waited for L2B because I knew that's where Lowandslow got his.

Not

But 20 years ago I had one and though it was cool!!
I also did a lot of other stuff to a mini that I would not do now.

I like them, and it looks brillaint on lowandslows car, go for it!! But i have no idea where you can get one, and they are the complete opposite of chavvy, chavs have an illuminated aerial or a bee-sting one, like me :huh: (got it from tesco for 3 quid)
