As people stand and stare - and smile broadly - as you drive past in your Seven, a toot on the Rist or Benjamin only adds to the entertainment. Some expensive cars used to have a "town and country" setting for their horns - gentlemanly progress thus assured. Horn stories? I had a Citroen AX Diesel whose horn was a miserable, pipi-squeak affair; I replaced it with a pair of loud and stately-sounding two-tone jobs from a retired Triumph 2000; the amusing thing was, that when used, everyone looked around for a bigger and more stately carriage.
