Smile Hello from Angola - African continent

Hi, I' writing this few words from my hometown of Luanda, capital city of Angola. I live here in Africa since 7 years ago, Im both Potuguese and Angolan.
I own one 2010 F150 Lariat in Tuxedo black - tan, the car has covered some 56 thousand miles on African roads without any major troublrs, the catalysers are now gone and were removed from the car. I truly love F150, it i the best car in the world, many times copied never matched!!
All the best,
Cheers,
Fernando

Hi, gasoline here costs 60 cents to the liter, aproxiately 2 USD per gallon. We are one of Africas biggest oil producers, so fuel here is cheap. Fillig up a 2010 fuel tank costs 55 USD. Pictures coming soon. All the best for my Americam friends!!

Hello,
I just joined the forum, also buying used 2012 F150. Tell some stories about your travels in Africa, how road conditions are, etc., thanks. I spent 9 years in Panama, years ago and drove all sorts of vehicles down there. Jeeps were preferred for off road adventures.

Hi Cris, Sure I will post some nice African safari and adventure pics. I have done some nice trips around Angola in my several F150's, namely one Platinum white 2010 Lariat, one 2011 Raptor and my current 2012 5.0 Lariat. All of those were or still are company cars, as I work as Sales Manager for the Angolan main For dealer.
The Tuxedo Black 2010 Lariat is mine and was purchased just now as a trade in from a customer. This guy wants to upgrade for a '13 Lariat new model.
Thx,

That's pretty cool. My father lived and worked in Angola. But he is now in point noire, Congo. Good to see an f150, mostly toyota trucks there?
