Hey Folks I am in Angola (West Coast of Africa ) anyway I was getting off the chopper today and saw a lonely late model F-150 there in reasonabley good shape except for a few bullet holes in the bed, almost no rust, dirty as sin... The guys there told me she still runs good (eye of the beholder) - unfortunately I didn't have my camera - maybe next time she'll still be there and I'll get a pic.

Later.

 

 

Thats what i was thinking.

I mean thats cool to see one randomly, but what gives? what happened to the dude who own(s)(ed) it?

Im stayin in the states.

 

must be a high crime area...

 

the guy who owned it was sleeping in the bed

 

Thats the only thing I hate about my truck,,,the new quiet sheetmetal wont stop AK-47 bullets!

 

Dude, get the HELL out of there!

 

What??? No hyena tied up in the bed???

Holy crap ETG, that's hardcore man!

 

I guess I was just suprised to see a F-150 in such good shape when everything else was in... well, not so good of shape. Just thought I'd share it with you in case anyone else was as amused as I was.

 

Going to move this one down to General Discussions...

were you there on vacation?

The way the original post was going, I thought you were leading upto some Nigerian oil scam joke but you never got to the punchline.

 

Hey, I worked in Angola too.
Lived in Luanda for 18 months during the civil war.
I can honestly say that is one place I have no desire to go back to.
This is before the digital camera age so I'll try and find some pictures when I get home this wek and scan them in.

 

The bed was probably shot up because they saw a white man. I'm yellow. That's Asian.
