I have two cars... but I pretty much trust my TR 4A as much as I do my
Nissan Pathfinder. Sometimes, I get the urge to travel to northern
california and visit friends.... a 500 mile drive... I jump in the car
that is most appropriate for the weather... period... no special
preperations.... just jump in and go. The TR 4A has made the trip
twice.... no problems.
This reliability is there because I thoroughly went through the car...
and concentrated on restoring the things that normally cause problems in
these cars... with that work done... it is now a daily-type driver and
does NOT get much mechanical attention. (I wish I had more time to play
with it!)
