Have a look on difflock - there's a section dedicated to them.

Think you need to be a colourful character to own one though ;)

Post by: mass199 on October 12, 2010, 17:12:09: I had one a few years back, very good off road due to being light weight and having a rear diff lock. They can be a bit fragile and tend to rot, good laugh though.
