keepitcovert 842 Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Now that is an interesting piece of kit , the guys on this site , the old farts like me know those and the old style horse clippers, were converted into lure racing machines we had one at my old whippet racing club . Good old days sadly gone forever. Most lads raced sundays coursed the rest of week times change and not for the better.

WILF 44,178 Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 I reckon it’s one of those things that is worth a few hundred quid to someone who wants such a thing but the pool of buyers will be small mate. If someone is asking you to buy it, personally I’d want to nick it because you could have it wrapped round your bollocks for years......or it may sell tomorrow? its one of them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember seeing some gypsy gear that was taken in lew of. Did it add up to anything? I reckon them gypsies are having a right giggle, cant pay me debt, but take what you want from the hanger, meanwhile, theres 50k of folding in the caravan khazi. Mind some of those bow tops are big money. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you couldnt pay me back the tenner you owed me and i came round and took your car in exchange i dont think you'd be giggling .....anyway it was nothing to do with me i was only there to see fair play and equality ....ive never understood what it is with them wagon things it must take ages to build them the detail that go,s into them,a bit like them little mule cages for the birds 6 months to make and then sell it for 50 quid ! That said i always found the Gypos good to deal with they know what they like and they like what they know,so no complaints.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think what it is with the travelers and wagons is heritage mate , back in the day that was there pride and joy , no difference in someone spending 1/4 mill on a house a lot of time and money whent in to making them as beautiful as they could , a lot of non traveler people are buying them now and charging people a couple of hundred a night to do that fancy clamping in them lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
