As some may know another of my hobbies is racing classic and historic cars. Recently fixed two old diatonic harps C and I think an E to the front of my 1930 Brooklands Austin 7 historic racing car, told by various spectators it sounded fantastic. Probably the car plays diatonic harps better than I do :grinning: :smile:. Jay1

@Jay1 LOL. this reminds me of a time back in the 70s when I had put a new Kayaking roof rack on my 340 Plymouth Duster. the first time I drove the car I was going nuts straining my neck searching for where the heck the ice cream truck was that I kept hearing. it finally dawned on me that it was the extra holes in the roof racks cross bar playing a tune at different speeds. a little duct tape quieted the music. :rofl:
BTW. my high school buddies dad had a D Jag in their barn that he had raced for years. I hear his brother finally sold the car a few years ago for mega millions. my buddies dads name was Paul Pfohl by the way. rock on!

@RussSkyman That’s a name I’ve not heard this side of the pond for quite a while. Think Paul had the ex 1952 Le Mans Allard J2X and D type Jaguar XKD524 but mainly raced sports cars. I’ve driven a D type belonging to a friend, very twitchy, lots of opposite lock. Apart from my Austin 7 Brooklands all my ;toys’ are open wheel single seaters. Beauty of harmonicas is they don’t require heated garage/workshops and are a lot less expensive to repair :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: Jay1
