Would I be able to get a lorry of boat fog horn to use in my mini like a deep and ominous one?

 

Cheers

you need an air compressor (the huge ones) in the boot, a 24 volt supply, solenoids, valves and plenty of space.. These things are fudging loud..

For something a little more realistic in being able to get one, take a look at a euro blast horn, its bascially the step up from the nautilus ;)

I looked at doing this but they take up to much room and are expensive for a decent set up

These are mine, they are probably the largest you can go before needing the 24v supply and external air source :)

That is f@@kin hilarious, I laughed till the tears rolled down my face. I must go down to my local train breakers yard and see what theyve got!

Not sure my positive earth dynamo set up would do it justice tho!

ebay, they are from america but even with these we are struggling to get them to work from one compressor.. may require two compressors for each horn at this rate!
