I'm after a sound effect (around 15 sec long) of a car engine that can be described as going "putt putt putt putt putt putt putt'. It is to back a cartoon Lada pouring smoke out the back as it trundles across Red Square.
Also heavy "Clunks' as its wheels fall off and engine falls onto the ground.
Any ideas where these could be got from - free if poss... :-)
EDIT...FOUND ONE...

Cheers.

Well...actually...it is. :-)
It's only a 9 second clip and has taken me untold hours but I put it down to personal development!! I've used Illustrator to do the drawing, Animate 2 to do the animation, and Particle Illusion to give me smoke pouring out the back of it as it trundles across Red Square. It looks good. Very happy. I used a sound effect of a Model T Ford which had a few clunks in it. It runs behind spoken words so is not very loud but works well.
I was going to post it up but the files are too big and I don't really have time...and I've forgotten which format is optimum for posting...

If your willing to pay, plenty of S/FX are available on pro sites such as 'SoundDogs SFX' and 'Sound Ideas' if not, you could search some of the many free S/FX sites like Freesound.org - Freesound.org (http://www.freesound.org/), however this can be time consuming, looking for the right sound.. and at a decent enough quality.
Another option is the more 'affordable' Browse By Category Sounds (http://www.soundsnap.com/browse#)
