Hey Guys,
My name is Daniel Safradin, I am from the states.. california actually.
I am interviewing with a couple of companys there... and was wondering what the cost of living was? What is the price for a decent used car? (STi 2, 3... EVO 3,4)
Is the weather like england? haha
And hows the beer? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
Thanks,
Daniel Safradin

Beer is great. You won't care about the weather, cos you will spend all your life in a pub. Petrol costs just over 3 puonds a gallon, and the beer is great. No idea how much a decent motor costs in the south as they have different tax system etc than us northerners
p.s. Did I mention the beer?

Hey guys,
I'm not sure as to where I will be moving exactly. I am interviewing with a few companys there, and it depends on which job I get. Im crossing my fingers, and hoping for the best.
I really do hope I get the job, I am getting very tired of the silicon vally.
Thanks for the info http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif
