Ive got my std one, but recently bought a a-wooga car horn, like what they used to have back in the 1920's still haven't wired it up yet but I know it'll sound awesome.

Might not be legal, but who cares. lol

or 'tweeks does them iirc

The Nova horn isn't all that good - the ones on my 7 series or in my current W123 Mercedes are very loud and scare small children.

Yep thats the one, although mines red but thats the proper name for it.

Really should get it wired up, although im going to have it wired into a selector switch so I can flick betwwen that and the the std nova horn.

LMFAO @ AOOO-GAH lol lol lol

That'll be a two-tone horn, so not road legal.

Sort out a 24v supply and get these (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/truck-train-horns-brand-new-in-the-box_W0QQitemZ140191729203QQihZ004QQcategoryZ108854 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)lol

Fit a 12v air compressor (as used on van air suspension systems) with air tank, and HOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKK!
(ship's fog horn!)


That'll shake 'em up, and it's single tone....

Or pukka Intercity's!
