Wheels of Ukarumpa (Matt)

Our New Ride! Half Truck. Half Van. All Unique.  Imported from Japan years ago. It maybe the only one in PNG. What is written on the side? I think it probably says "Road Dragon"!

Old Land Cruisers!

Andrew Koen's special! "Ai gris" (Eye Grease) When you want something you don't have.

Vehicle that shouldn't be running, but is. Plenty of these vans.

PMV Public Transportation- This is why our Truck has a window guard!

What is this? I'm told their first vehicle was a 4wd but it was destroyed by the shipping company, or actually may have fallen off the ship and went in the ocean. This is what the company sent them as a replacement. Impractical? Completely, but arguably the sweetest looking ride at Ukarumpa. 0-30(center speed limit) kilometers/hr in under 2 seconds, if the road has no ruts deeper than 4 inches.

 The vehicles of Ukarumpa are as unique as this land. Most are kept running well past their expiration date. This is just a smattering of them.

Toyota Land Cruiser- Best Ride In PNG

Smith's Ride

Honorable mention: Although I've not seen it drive yet, it does run.
