    Default Horns! beep beep ....

    does anyone know if you can get the kind of horns that are on fire engines?

    I'm looking for something a bit different that doesn't sound like the crappy $20 super cheap air horns. ...

    what do you guys all use as horns, I used to have a siren hooked up but I got told to disconnect that an d the factory ones are rubbish, makes my car sound more like a barina tbh

    claxon, or could be Klaxon, horns give a very distinctive sound....like what was on cars from the 30s, but hard to come by....edit, just had a look on ebay and looks like there is plenty of reproduction ones, original 80 year old ones would be good, but suspect they would probably burn out easily etc.

    The fire engines only go BBMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMP becase they have it on for a long time...our garbage trucks have the same ones they do (I think, if not, very similar) And your ears starting ringing after 20 sec of it being on :|

    If you want I can um...yeah...yo know..."borrow" some from the truck...if your interested lol

    and I sincerely hope your car gets a random rwc inspection and the device is removed before anyone suffers any harm from your stupidity.
