Musical Air Horns

I was just wondering how many of the MX-5 owners have musical air horns on their cars, if so what’s your preferred tune ?
When i was in the Stag owners club i had the ‘dukes of hazard’ theme tune on my musical air horns. :rofl:

don’t know whether I dare put baby shark horns on!!, hillarious!

As Musical horns are only legal on pre 1973 cars I have a pair of Truck horns on mine run by 2 compressors

Interesting idea. Do you have any pictures of your set up?

AS my NC has an induction kit the compressors are where the airbox was. The 2 long horns are behind the bumper, done when the nose was off.

Thanks for the reply

When I was growing up, a local scratter had a Mk4 Cortina with lake pipes and a horn that played Dixie. Yes, we thought it was cool.

My Dad had a MK3 Cortina painted pillar box red with two huge white strips running in the bonnet recessed. They changed to a single white strip across 1/3 of the width of the roof and then back to two white stripes across the boot.
Wolfrace wheels an a set of Dixie air horns.
Back in the day that was pretty cool :sunglasses:.
When I was old enough to drive at 18 I put the air horns into my orange MK2 Capri with a black vinyl roof. I loved myself in that car :rofl::rofl:.
1980’s what a time to be alive :+1:

Got some photos of my dad somewhere standing at the side of his customised Mk10 Jag, custom brown metalflake paint…yes I said brown! graveyard scene mural on the boot, some kind of lace stencil paint on the bonnet, Wolfrace moonshine wheels, fur interior.
What great days they were!

Had some air horns in the '80’s but also had a CB radio with a PA switch, a mike and a speaker rigged up just behind the front grille. I could broadcast any music I wanted from the cassette /radio speakers but probably got most enjoyment from playing The Archers theme tune coming down Uttoxeter High Street on cattle market day, with farmers and shoppers packing the pavements.

I could blow raspberries at pedestrians, bark or whistle at dogs on leads to make them go mental and wolf whistle at girls on pedestrian crossings - at least until my future wife put a stop to it.
