MGB Moment

The weather here on the coast has been perfect. Went for a top down spin after work through the old village. It was great, even though I don't have the passenger seat in yet. Coming back I recognize a B coming the other way, about that time an arm emerges from an Aconite CB waving madly. We wave like madmen at each other, both enjoying the evening spin.

Also, I'm going to see if there is any way I can mount one of the old windtone horns on the car. I just got three of them working that came back with us from Gurley. They have a distinct authority, unlike the anemic little squealers under the hood of the typical B. The low note horn sounds like a bull wildebeest flatulating, the high note sounds like a large ferret being squeezed. Very loudly.

Does Tony have any more of those wildebeest windtones around?

Don't know. These three came out of the barrel-o-junk that was in our parts Magnette. Two where still on the harness. The other was loose. I have another horn that is similar but not quite the same style. It is, however, at least as loud. It's a Ferretone.
I'll tell ya this; you'll get everyone's attention when you toot those guys.

My air horns have gone monotone. Kind of a high pitched weak plea.

Hit them while they are blowing.

Wray, did you get my recent email? I'm still in need of a stick of black heat shrink that I have not been able to get anywhere locally without buying a whole blasted pack of the stuff . . .

You can never have too much heat shrink.

I'm sitting here looking at it (the shrink). Of course that doesn't do you any good. It's on the way.

Ive been thinking about adding an electronic horn that plays something British say Rule Britania.
