You feel free to PM them to me, though! :thumbsup:

I just think there's something great about the wheezy little standard "peep peep" of a Mini horn that really suits the car. :wub:

I've spliced into the horn feed at the steering column and wired in a on/on switch, which then goes off to a relay in the engine bay and twin air horns. So while driving I can chose between the standard more friendly horn or flick the switch and blast the louder more noticeable air horns.

I think for real satisfaction you could rig up a pull cord above your head 😉 rubber duck

Well the way I've wired it up both horns work via the column stork, I just use the on/on switch to switch between them.

When I used to drive artics I had one with a pull cord the horns where mounted on the roof very satisfying to hang on the cord when carved up by a noddy and quite often made people jump they were that loud

What about a compressor fed train horn? Skip to two minutes!

There are some hilarious you tube clips of people using train air horns, have a search, you'll be rolling on floor laughing!  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

I've got one of these on my Sprite.

They were fitted to the Plymouth Roadrunner. You can find them on Ebay.

 

 

My Innocenti has these twin Fiamm horns

You can set them up so the one is for country and one is for town, or they can be used together.
