EDIT:
I am getting really fed up with the tree sap coming off the trees and sticking to it. I might have to get the KOD father out of the garage, park that on the drive and put Sonic in there now. No reason why the KOD father cant be the one sitting on the drive.


Neil,

I'll see your tree sap and raise ya with my bird poo!

Yeah I hear that. God knows what these birds eat! One pooed on my mates mini and he didnt wash it off for a few months. when he did it took all the paint with it! -_-


Right. A bit annoyed.
A while ago (about a month back) my horn stopped working. After trying to fix the problem and trace the missing fuse (I can only find one?!) I gave up. A few days later, the horn started working again of its own accord ;)

Today I decided to discon the horn and fit my air horns instead. First I linked them up and tested them. All worked fine and I nearly gave my eldely neighbour a heart attach. To be fair, I didnt know she was there.

I finally finish fitting the air horns, but when I test them..... Nothing. I tested them a few times when fitting them and they always worked. Typical. Hopefully it will fix itself in a few days lol. But I wont hold my breath.

I also got dirt in my eye that I cant get out and its really annoying me!

I am also thinking about fitting an arm rest. I miss the arm rest I had in the SPI so I took apart the one that I had and tired it out for size and ideas

I think I am going to try and mount it to this lip somehow. I will have to braise up the front somehow..?

Wolfie (tmf member) fitted Huey's air horns like yours behind the front reg plate but he put a two-way switch on the steering column and kept the original horn, so Huey can beep politely or blaaaaarp as required. Fancy the idea?

Is that Wolfie who has the Orange and green Turbo mini?

I will be wiring up Sonic's air horns seperatly so I can also choose which horn. The current set up is just a temp measure (which is why I left the existing "snail" horn in place. As I plan to still use it. I think I know which horn will be used most often with these dam London drivers!

The very same. Or did have when I saw him last.

It's all about choice. Sometimes I think a foghorn would be nice.

Yeah I know Wolfie. The guys a legend lol. He went all the way to Newquay and back in one night once to pick up the KOD father when a con rod went through the engine. Then worked the next night doing an engine change for me. Top guy!

Ideally I would like train horns. That would realy put the Sheeit up someone when they cut me up!
