Spotted an Oka

Think this one has been for sale for ages.....

Yeah I spotted an OKA in my driveway 216!!!!!!!!! cool

OKA 159
By far the best looking rig at the Brookton Old Time Motor Show,
and it was given a spot right out the front, and close to the Toranas, excellent.
This was the first BOTMS we had been to and there was a huge diversity of cars trucks
military stationary and my fave vintage cars with vintage caravans - sweet.
We drove up on Friday night and as usual held up traffic, which didn't worry me at all
because I didn't have anything holding me up, like a pesky tractor.
Funny how folks tend to think they can just walk right into your truck, without knocking.
Still was nice to chat to punters who wanted one worked on them or even buyers at the right price.
The bonus for me was quality food and drinks on tap, and a little nana nap after lunch.
Rob from ? between Beverly and Brookton ? was confident he spotted us on the road on Friday night,
but the car trailer obscured the back of the truck - going real slow up hills was the giveaway.
He came Saturday and we had a nice chat.
Drive home late Saturday arvo and held the traffic up again. And well if you are stupid enough to stick that
close you thoroughly deserve a big puff of diesel smoke as I change down a gear or two.

Just thought I would repost this ripper photo from April 1 2015.
This cargo plane is now in Perth and has caused traffic gridlock, security embarrassment and
huge media coverage. Now this is one huge cargo jet and now you can see that I had to resize the
OKA A LOT to look like it fitted. Think it fooled one peep. You could fit a fleet of OKAs in the cargo
hold....let's go to...hmmm....Africa...for a gathering
Hehehe

I have not seen it yet, but #003 is at the Bolivar caravan park, Port Wakefield Road, north of Adelaide.
It changed hands some time ago and is owned by someone called Rob from Victoria.
I sent him a message with my phone number....

Cheers,

Oka 003 sold a few weeks back to Rob and Joanne of Mt Eliza, ex Fred in Springvale, so still a local truck.

Brief glimpse of an OKA in Geraldton yesterday. XT single cab with a camper unit. Gracy-May or something similar across the bottom of bullbar. bit of chrome bling here and there.

That'd be OKA 009 Robert and Shirley. Very nice setup, Pictured here on Australia day meet at my place 2010.

Thanks Pete.

Yes. It did look like a nice set up.

Tony and Betty called in to southern Adelaide with XT123 for lunch today.

Cheers,

Hi,
Driving through Katherine [NT] today, on my way to work which is driving an Oka, I spotted Oka 126, parked near Travel North, Greyhound {Red Dog] parking area. Has WA plates, "OKA126".. I took some pics of it, noting that it is also fitted with an intercooler for the Perkins, as well as a wench. Would like to have met the owners. It looked well cared for.
cheers,
Nobby.

Oka 126 is Chris and H from Kununurra....they on Hols ...again.

Another OKA is lurking in Albany WA. dualcab with canopy I think, saw it from a distance, will hunt it for a photo.

Spotted an Oka in Broome nearly a week ago when we were chasing up an auto sparkie for a fuse for the Oka I came out of the Tourist Bureau with a local map and saw another bus body Oka next to ours and a couple chatting to Trev, Steve and his partner, Oka 393 from NSW, they spotted our Oka they were fuelling up and came over to say hello, nice couple, he had done a very professional looking job of his interior, NS bed and very nice looking cupboards and storage, pop top roof, they are not on the forum as he says they are not very tech savvy. We travelled to Kununurra and joined 4 other Oka owners on a trip to the toughest parts of the Kimberley, and boy did the Oka shine on the very difficult terrain.

#292 at Algebuckina bridge on the Oodnadatta Track a few days ago.



Peter says he is thinking about selling his OKAs soon and down sizing his tour business. He is currently ratting the second one to keep #292 on the road (it has now done 700,000km and none of that is black top).

Cheers,
Peter

Who was in Lakes Entrance Wednesday 21 Dec 16 ?
I was told tour bus

No Pictures.

No 82 Somewhere few hours east of Ceduna...... Called them on the UHF Radio

James Byle today,near Cervantes some where. He didnt seem to have his UHF on. Unless he has sold his OKA. It had a load on the back.

Also popped in and seen Mr Wade in Coolgardie.

Currently in Geraldton and heading to Kalbarri tomorrow.

I am not in the OKA, so thats a bit of a shame....

82 looks a bit different to when you saw it in Derby, Lobo but still same owners.

Yes Alan, I realised that night who you are......

Started as Dual Cab and I think you have had the engine rebuilt etc since.

I am now currently driving up the West Coast back to Darwin.
