Dave,
The other circus elephants hated Dumbo until they learned he could fly. It
seems our TR 4A's have never been given the respect they deserve. Compared
to the early TRs (and most mid-60s cars for that matter) the 4A was full of
practical technology that ENHANCED the driving experience (Disk brakes, Rack
and Pinion, IRS, Surrey top, Negative earth, Beautiful styling...). I agree
that there are some that look down at us. I'm okay with it every time I
drive my car! How about you?

Subject: gas in the oil etc.
Thanks to all who responded. I enjoy coming home from work and seeing
the
replies.
I had taken the pump apart but didn't see any obvious tears in the
diaphragm.
Now I will open it up again and examine it closer.Could there be a tear that
is only visible when the rubber is being pushed up by the arm? I guess..
I've
been avoiding a carb rebuild cause I don't feel that I can do it myself and
I
hate to pay someone. I guess I'll have to gamble or bite the bullet.
On another note, I sent an e-mail to the VTR asking them if they really
had much interest in the non-sidescreen TR's. Their beautiful web page sends
mixed vibes. I greatly admire the TR2s'and TR3s' but I love my TR4a. Is the
VTR too slanted toward the sidescreen years to be of great interest to TR4
owners. I've detected a little snobbyness { new word ? } toward
non-sidecreen
owners. This isn't meant to start a war. I drool when I see a beautiful TR2
or TR3 at a show or on the road. I've received no response from the VTR.
Thanks
Dave
