I was in Wyevale Garden Centre in Hereford a while ago (good few weeks this is) with my Mum looking at plants (can't remember why). Whilst doing so we heard a lorry with a two-tone horn. The number cruncher, basher and photter in me immediately looked up, looked around wondering where it had come from. Hearing a train horn in Hereford's Wyevale is rather odd, as there is no railway near it for at least a couple of miles (the station in Hereford being the other side of town to Wyevale). At this point we realised it must have been a lorry. At the same point in time I knew that I would love a two-tone horn from a HST for my car...

It's actually illegal to have a two tone on a road vehicle IIRC, they're for emergency service vehicles only.

Indeed, the police get all the fun. Two-tones, CS Gas, Guns, Batons, Speeding, scaring the s**t out of people....

Fred, you're going dangerously close to being off-topic :roll: There's plenty of places where you can post videos of trains, but this is about a lorry....

The other day when I was out I heard a lorry with one of those novelty horns that plays a little tune :lol: that must have a fair few tones ;)
