Mate of mine has a BMW 325, he's just fitted a set of these:-

I want some for my C900, obviously I'd leave the original horn in for the
normal MOT purposes.  These I would have on a separate switch, for
announcing my arrival at the UK SOC National etc.

You can get other tunes but I must have these TODAY, and Bridge over the
River Kwai is a cool tune.  Dukes of Hazard (Dixie) and La Cucaracha are
also available if anyone else is interested.

LOL :) Dixie horns are always funny ... Best saved for a Capri or a Manta A?

I have a twin air horn installation on the list of things to do. The air
horns take, say, a second to really fire up, so a little 'blip' on the horn
will actuate the normal horns, but a full-on "look out" ... "or I don't
appreciate you carving me up" kind of horn will activate the full airhorn
system and get 'em a scare!

If you can get " On Ilkla' Moor Baht 'At" (the National Anthem of the Free
Republic of West Yorkshire), I'll buy one :) I reckon the notes used in the
Dixie horn _could_ make up "On Ilkley Moor" ...

Please, please say this is an April fool's joke.

Yeah it sure is!

Sorry I love April Fools day, just a big (nearly 40yr old) kid at heart!  I
wouldn't even wave these chavmeister things in the general direction of my
C900, let alone fit them...

Don't be offended, none was meant, just a bit of fun.  And yes, I've been
had as many times as I've pulled April fools jokes.  Hate to say it, but I
think BMW have always led the field in terms of advertising jokes:-

My favourite isn't here though, it was a screen that was made to the drivers
prescription so he didn't need his glasses to drive.  Absolute class from
the Bavarians there!

I still reckon we can re-wire Dixie horns for our county's national anthem
:)
