I guess I lucked out in one respect: My Europa has the factory-optional dual
air horns installed! (Naturally they weren't working when I bought it -- I
had to rework one of the compressors and rig up a kludge-button to make
up for my missing steering-wheel centre/horn-push.)
What can I say. Nearly being backed into by assorted Buicks and
Lincolns in parking lots three times in two days can be a heck of a
motivating factor!
