If I remember right the Austin Gipsy had a yellow and a red lever and you could select front wheel drive, rear wheel drive and four wheel drive in both ratios, GREAT SYSTEM, pity about the other bits though.

- right yer!
or forget to lock em
was out on a lake fishing a few years back when a saw this nob in a hi-lux pickup having trouble spinnig like fook for about 10 minutes .
then he just locked it and walked off, he only walked over a mile to the farmer that owned the lake and got him out with his tractor to pull him out
did'nt have the heart (or inclanation) to tell him he had'nt locked the free wheeling hubs
