Front wheel drive car engine with one side of the diff locked up, ie other shaft travels at twice car speed - I think.
Diff bearing housings etc have been "patinad", no such word but you know what I mean.

Oh so very true! I met a Dutchman in Ullapool a couple of years ago who was riding around the North Coast 500 on a 6 ltr, 425 bhp, V8 Boss Hoss.

Cheers,

John
