Default What a horn!

4 way stop. I wait and when it is my turn I go forward and then a Tesla Model 3 owner decides to move as he is in a Tesla and must have thought that gave him special priviledges. Not all Tesla owners are bad, but they are sort of like BMW owners around these parts....sorry BMW owners that are normal.

Anyway, I used the horn.

My first time using the horn in anger.

What a great stock horn. Matches the exhaust.

JLR's F-type team, thank you!

Surely your comments about BMW drivers are unwarranted…we have to remember that they are hampered by the fact that their cars do not come with equipment that is standard on other makes, one being turn signals (flashers). I have always been amazed by the number of BMW owners who do not specify this option.

They've probably just forgotten to renew their subscription.

The poor chaps driving the BMWs may just be out of blinker fluid.

When I was young (way back when), I came to the conclusion that most of the real idiots on the road were driving VW's (bugs).
Years later, I decided that most of the idiots were driving BMW's.
One day, it suddenly dawned on me .... it's the same idiots - all grown up.

In the UK the VW guys are now driving Audis, though there are plenty of BMW idiots about, too.

You should hear what VW and BMW drivers say about you

And lets not forget the Porsche drivers, and SUV/pickup drivers, and MINIVAN drivers, and Volvo drivers, and those in Camrys/Lexi, not to mention the "people" who drive cars with really loud exhaust that pops and crackles, and who have enough bass in their sound system to rattle your windows and make you spill your Ensure!!!

Back in the late 80's and early 90's I used to travel a lot to India. Back then the most common cars on the road were beige or black Hindustan Ambassadors.
In India people driving cars constantly honk their horn to warn people they are approaching because the roads have not only cars but people, livestock and all manner of other things in the road that you could hit. BTW hardly anyone ever went faster than 20mph.

The most common modification made to these cars (as far as I could tell) that the owners were proud of were really, really loud replacement horns. You would often see car for hire drivers at roadside stops (at least in the state of Bihar) with their hoods up admiring and demonstrating the replacement horn installations in other cars.

When I finally get the time to swap my grill I'm planning on upgrading to a set of Hella Supertones. The are not obnoxious, but do speak with a little more authority than stock.
