Either that or shooting them with machine guns mounted behind my number plate... but I don't want to have to colour code them, spraying will be the death of me.

There was a bloke on eBay selling the horn from an Intercity 125 train last year, i was toying with the idea of getting it for my Land Rover. I think it kicked out something like 156dB!
But you needed a huge air compressor to run it, and it was about the size of a medium sized TV.
Thats what you need!

Can you imagine a copper checking the loudness of your horn......... "im sorry sir - but your horn is too loud to warn other road users of your presence" 
Just make it as loud as you can...

AIR HORNS
Scroll down past Dukes of Hazard $hite till you get to this :-
The Nautilus TWIN TONE Air horns features compact space saving engineering that no other twin tone air horn in the world can offer. It's very fast and easy to install because it requires only ONE fixing point and a single electrical connection. No air tubes are required.
The excellent sound output of approx 139 decibels ! Is INSTANT thanks to a perfectly balanced air jet system.
Furthermore the Nautilus IS 100% Road Legal.
Might try one myself.One fixing point & one wire.Sorted.
