OH,

air horns there,those oblong things on the roof next to the orange lights

I did wonder about the omission, are they for tailgaters or did someone have the fitting instructions upside-down?

What a strange gift.

If my Dad gave me that I'd be at a total loss what to do with it.

Safe to assume you have storage? Or will it annoy the neighbours outside your house?
