My hooters

Share this page

Tune the horn pitch with the screw on the end of the bell. This must be done when the horn is activated. Dr. stay away from the frieght train horns!! They are cool but are illegal in most states. I have seen them used in traffic and the panic left several damaged cars. Yes, I love them too.
 
Yup... but it scatters the Plebeans like pidgeons!

I thought that wuz whut horns were FOR! Rarely use one, but when I do I want it to be th' proverbial "wake up" call: shock the ignorant/self-centered/incompetent/unattentive outta their reverie and back to th' task at hand.
 
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nonono.gif shame jaybird, you could hurt some poor guy out there with that title ... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif
 
or wake up that H2 that's having a hard time choosing a lane right next to you?

Side note: Ever since I've moved out here to the LA area, I've noticed a lot of people have problems choosing a lane after making a turn, and straddling the line for a half block or more. Just this morning I got stuck behind some Caprice that straddled the line for half a mile... Of course, when people do stuff like that I'm hesitant to pass them because I don't know what lane they're going for... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nonod.gif

Neither do they, I suspect.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
 
Someone mentioned the Claxon-style Ah-oo-Gah horn. I just oredered one for the 1902 Olds replica we're building but JC Whitney is out-of-stock, so we'll have to wait a few weeks. We were hoping to bring the car to a New Years event with the old-time horn.

My racecar has Fiamm air-horns....it's the only "extra" the Spridget has. I beep and wave at all the flaggers at the end of each race...it seems to make everyone smile. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
A guy here locally has a Morris Minor with an old gas station bell connected to a foot switch. Whenever he pulls up he steps on the switch and you hear the old "DING DING!!!"
 
I harvested a 'new' pogo stick out of a '75 parts car tonight.

These aren't original, right?... That 'pogo stick' thingy is broken... Do I need to buy new hooters?

Since this thread seems to keep comin' to th' top...

Diesela's hooters are attracting a LOT of attention lately, as she's decided to spontaneously start demonstrating them in public. SWMBO has declared her menopausal: First was th' hot flashes, now she's screaming at everything in range on whim. *BEEP-BEEP-BEEP!*... Herself was laughing hysterically as Diesela sat in a parking lot, screamin' her lungs out at some poor old gal who told SWMBO: "Happens to me all the time. Just push the button on your key thingie." -- Herself: "She's an old car, no button. She's menopausal."-- O.L.: "oh." and walks ~quickly~ away from the circumstance.

heheee.
 
So, now we have 2 pairs of old hooters to cnontend with? One a fake pair, & one original?
