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?

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?

Beer... £20 to £25 per gallon
Petrol... see above
1998 Scooby..... ££17 to £20K
House..... cheapest in Dublin approx £120k
Beer... £20 to £25 per gallon
Taxis....£100 per mile if you can find one.
Politicians....£10k to infinity
Insurance..... don't ask
Beer... £20 to £25 per gallon


Cheers

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

it's not the car cost that will kill you...it's the insurance...
