I'll try and take some pics, bad light in my garage so they tend not to come out too well (I took about 30 of the cam swap, only 4 were worth using and they were all of "How to move the radiator" ) but hopefully I'll get something.

If you look in the images Feb 2005 my silver SV shows the horn fitted, and the Beowulf rad guards and the DL hand guards, wow am I glad I fitted them in this weather, though I have been forced on to the train in the ice. I caused a minor conflict in the Lime House Link Monday tooting up a cager pulling across lanes. He must have thought it was the truck tooting him up, it was very loud in the tunnel, next thing all the cars and vans were sounding their horns as I dissappeared in the distance. He pulled out of the way though! If I could work out how to post pictures I would do a breakdown of the fitting.

I mainly want mine to annoy MOT testers

Excellent photos there, I'd actually looked at them and not noticed the horn

not quite that easy on compressor setup you would probably have 5 airhorns and the compressor unit to hide along with the hose to couple them up

all in all a big space is required for your dukes of hazzard airhorns

If I do get them, I'll spray the horns silver and mount them somewhere really visible and ridiculous (Either that, or around the inside of the lowers. But that's no fun)

If anyone sees a set of those musical horns going cheap, please tell me...

This is what i need from a horn.

I had to beep a lady doing a 3 pint turn in my road the other day. She was looking left with her back wheels at the curb and turning her wheels right and heading towards me... all the time looking to her left only to make sure it was clear that way.

I beeped at her and to cut a very dull story short, when she was out the car i said "i had to beep to get your attention" only for her to respond with.....








Its true... and unbelievable....










"I dont like being beeped at, i think its very rude, thats why i stuck my fingers up at you and nearly knocked you off!. How dare you beep at me!"

"I had to beep at you otherwise you would have caused an accident, i have the right to beep in those circumstances (it was only 3.30pm btw) dont I?. if you paid more attention to the road you wouldnt get beeped. Maybe thats why you dont like it"
"Oh why dont you just **** off" she says as she storms away from her car............ leaving her kid in the child seat. The stoopid bat only lives on my road too.
One to look out for, for sure

Did you not offer to hold her pints for her whilst she carried out her maneuver

I have twin fiamms on Doris. They are fitted to the upper radiator mounts. You will need to run a relay and all the instructions come with the horns that i got from Halfwits, cost £15.99 and came with the realy. Made my MOT tester jump today it did, i laughed.

I have the same as Viney. It was his infleunce. They're great fun

D'oh. I may have been too busy pactising the art of the rolling burnout. For the figure of 8 i plan for her front lawn
