does the puma have the worlds gayest sounding horn? Tooted at a mate last night as i passed him, 2 seconds later got a call on the mobile (bluetoothed up of course) only to be met by howling laughter about how gay my horn sounded!

now i can cope with being called 'hairdresser' etc, but to have someone insult the manliness (is that a word?) of my horn is just unbearable!

i've now decided just to shout like a loon out of the window at poeple instead of facing the embararsment of my horn. time to fit a dukes of hazzard stylee dixie horn i think - can't be worse than OE horn fitted!

lololol... pop along to your local Halfrauds and pick up a set of Fiamm twin tone horns, approximately 15 beer tokens, rip the old one off, don't bother with the relay Fiamm give you, simply wire the two new ones in on the existing wiring...

Actually, you can get away with only fitting one of the Fiamm's but I forget which one you do fit (high tone or low tone?) Still, no harm in replacing the old factory fit with a shiny new one really....

What about leaving the gay one on and adding the other two?

From memory, one of the Fiamm horns is actually a gay tone too...I dare say you would actually want to double the gayness

I have the Fiamm horns - just never ever got around to fitting them... I think I bought them circa '98 when I bought my first Puma

I was thinking the same thing!

Tooted my horn at a bloke this morn for turning left in a straight on lane and i just couldn't believe how gay it sounds!

I'm on the lookout for a new deeper manly horn sound now!

I think you should all get in touch with your feminine side, it's much cheaper!

The Puma horn is more like a 'peep peep' sound.....

But at the end of the day , how often are you actually going to use it???.....had mine 8 months and used it once!!!

You know how I first read this threads head line...

"Help, I am horny (and I'm happy about it!)."

Well, you know, sh*t happens...

Confused...... The transit horn was on a puma or a nova? Thought you said you changed the puma one? Must be getting confused somewhere along the line, failing that gonan take a trip down the scrappy and ask for the loudest meanest horn that would fit!
