I am taking a vacation with my wife and her family to Ireland next week. We are renting two cars to ferry us all around and I’ve been designated as a driver. Despite living in the UK for 7 months now, I’ve yet to get behind the wheel of a car. I’m confident in my driving ability and I have been in cars here enough to…

Sweet Audi 80 Quattro (Avant?) I saw on my walk to the train station this morning. I think its a B4, so somewhere between ‘91-’96. Was pretty clean from what I could tell, and I love the wheels. Would make a killer replacement for the Passat. As an added bonus I saw a really sweet GWR train livery at the station too,…

Well, after two months of corporate feet dragging, it’s finally official. I’m moving to Brighton, UK! Some UK oppos had some awesome input for me whenever the opportunity first presented itself, so now time for some serious advice on how to do life in the UK.

So Oppo. I’d like some input from some of our members across the pond. I have a very high possibility of getting an opportunity for a promotion and a move to our Brighton, UK office. I would be heading up IT for a brand new office that we are building. It would be at minimum a year stay and past that, as long as I…

No SR20, cause I was driving and stuff, but I saw an E28 M5 this morning on the way in to work. Traffic was heavy so I passed it and it passed me a couple of times. Goodness, it made a nice noise. It looked to be stock and in pretty good shape, especially the paint. I’m not a huge BMW guy but I would definitely take…

So a couple of you may remember my post about a Passat a week or so ago. Well yesterday I pulled the trigger and took her home.

As the title suggests. Should I buy a Saab? To be more specific a black 2009 9-5 Aero Wagon with the sport package. One of my girlfriend’s friends is selling hers. Has 116,000 miles and she wants around $8000 for it. That a fair price? Do these things have any known issues? I am in the process of selling my truck…

I am in the process of trying to sell my truck. As much as I will miss it at this point I need something more fuel efficient and hopefully to make a little money off of it. Recently I found a 1994 Accord Wagon on Craigslist. (It’s brown!.....sorta) and I am going to take a look at it today. Anything specific to those…

Since my girl has moved to Raleigh (NC) I have been visiting more frequently while looking for a job in the area (since I just graduated). The girl she took over a lease for in her new house took the lawnmower with her so the yard was turning into a bit of a mess.

Sitting here watching some basketball and applying for jobs. I graduate in May with an associates in computer engineering and have started my job search for when I graduate. Hoping to move to the Raleigh, NC area due to better jobs and my girlfriend. Wondering if any of you Opponauts out there are in the industry and…

Took at trip to Hanging Rock State Park (NC) for The Fourth with my girlfriend and her family to camp. Spotted this place in a town on the way up and had to stop and take some pictures on the way home. Please excuse the horrible iPotato photos, it was all I had with me.

Posted the other day about a Audi I found to replace my pickup. Well I have one upped myself. Saab 9-3 Wagon. 2.0T. Manual Trans. Its a manual wagon. What is not to like? '06 with 109k. Guy wants 5500. hmmmm.

Ok oppo. My F150 needs a new motor, thought it was just head gaskets...Nope. I am going to replace it with something used and get rid of it. Truck is in awesome shape, should be able to get a good amount of money for it. (98 F150 Lariat 4x4) Well I want a car to replace it. I will really miss the truck but right now a…

Fairly recently my 98 F150 blew a head and an intake gasket. Replacing the intake gasket was pretty terrible and we determined that there would be no reason to try the head without pulling the engine. Meanwhile I have been trying to determine what to do. Part of me wants to keep the truck because I can't see myself…
