Both men are very knowledgeable on all things OKA.
What did you need for the Plasma cutter for?
Seems like it was a big couple of weeks for everyone.
Where did you get your Cummins from?

We are just back from a test run in the 6bt , only a small run just to settle it all in . WE did 5459 km mostly at 2200 rpm and doing 90 kph from Yass to the Golf country and back, saw Lightning Ridge again as we have not been there for some time (MIGHT be a place for an OKA gathering ))) nice hot spa there 41 degrees and free NICE. also a few other things to do in town , JUST a thought ....
Back to the Oka a bit over 5 ton, 5459 km used 1007 liters fuel that works out to be 17.56 liters per 100 km with head wind and hills that dont seem to be there anymore..
A big thanks to you Paul ,Ian and ckook a job well done .... i think that it mad a Great vehicle BETTER . i wont tell you the top speed that i got old 45 up to as Jenny wont be happy but it did go off the clock and then some mmmmm on a flat road and a slight headwind.
Also we had a few 33 to 35 degrees days and the temp sat on 80 to 83 degrees even with the aircon going Thank you Paul for that 5 core radiator it was money well spent your advice is worth bottling

I think I passed you the other day, I was heading west in a red bus and trailer (169) also enjoying the power of a 6bt.

Just got to remember to fish plate the chassis where engine mounts are.
Many OKA`s have cracked in this area with just the Perkins. With the weight of the 6bt, it could crack sooner, rather than later.

It depends on how you drive them, so guess tourist buses could have the hardest life.
Bout time rust and dust you introduced yourself. Do you own an OKA, what do you know about them????

Old post I know......
Just think its time that Rust and Dust tells us more about themselves..... Seem to be online regularly. So would be nice if he had something to share.
Perhaps we should do like other forums, you need to introduce yourself etc.

On this and any other forum I've been associated with a members right to privacy is respected and IMO so it should be. If a member(s) wish to use a 'nom de plume' and not bare their soul and business to others, so what ?, this is not only OK but again IMO an affront to forum etiquette to publicly ask for this information.
People have their own reasons whether to remain anonymous or not. Whether this is from acute paranoia or a simple desire to retain privacy or other reason is not for other forum members to question or to judge. You yourself have used three 'nom de plumes' that I know of, as is your right and I don't see anyone asking you 'to bare all', and neither they should. It's your right to be 'Soon to be OKA Queensland' or 'Lobo' or 'Outback Jack' or whatever you like and I think it's incumbent on you to offer the same courtesy and anonymity to others.
As to ..... Seem to be online regularly. (as if this is in any way relevant), you've got to be kidding, I reckon I've seen only one or two posts from 'Rust and dust' ever!
If 'Rust and dust' wish to remain anonymous, as do many others on this and other forums so be it. It is their unquestionable right to do so.
Deano.
