I sound like pretty much any Police/Fire/Ambulance Getthebreakoutofmylane airhorn :y

Or to put it another way, this...

Sounds good, You need something like this now days.  :y

I'd have thought you could connect it in such a way it will work with the steering wheel horn buttons.  :-\

Do I look lik a stoopid redneck ::)

How, prey tell, do you think it works ;D

Just to add, although it is hypothetically capable of making much more interesting noises, which would be totally illegal... so it I have wired it in such a way that it can only produce the airhorn tone :y

Was just going by the video  :P

Expensive are they ?

Shalln't say ::) as probably best not to encourage you, given the video was titled and everything :P

Everything fitted in making that work was imported :y

 :P ;D ;D ;D Fair enough... Can't find one for sale anywhere that's why i asked. ::)

:-[ perhaps... I had slowed to pull in behind him about 600 yards before the end of lane four. Someone forced their way in further ahead causing the traffic to slow quite heavily. He braked, and I braked. Eased off the brakes when he stopped braking, and glanced in the mirror to see if I was about to get knocked from behind. As I looked forward again he braked to a stop, so I stood on the pedal, but was a split second too late :'( not convinced that he had actually needed to stop, as the traffic ahead hadn't  :-\   

Actually that might have been a situation where a dash camera could have been of use...

Noticed a knock from the front suspension on the Bullet. Just need to investigate when she'll let me have "her" car for a few hours in daylight...

...although no hurry, as I need to let my ribs settle before any heavy work  :-[

Timing belt changed, aux belt and water pump changed breathers cleared & cleaned. Cam Cover gaskets changed (loads of oil cleared from plug wells on one side so looks like the change was desperately needed). Plugs changed and second oil and filter change in 3000 miles since I got it. At least I know what's been done now! The reliable history starts here! Cheers JamesV6CDX!
