[TR] Horn Works on its own

[Bob Danielson]

There was someone at VTR this summer who's car honked during tight turns at
auto-cross. Was that you?

When at the autocross my TR4 honks at nearly every right turn.....

I love it!!!

I'm sure there is a bushing worn out somewhere....

Sure wish I was at SEVTR....
