      Continuing the great work of @DasWauto , and the work several of us carried on under his banner at OppoBlog on Kinja, sifting through the fire hose of OPPO posts to find diamonds among the shitposts, here is the first in what I hope will be a long series of compilations at our new home:

      .

      The Best of OPPO, Hyphen Ed.

      Oppo Tag 2.png

      (1st edition - November 18th, 2020)

      I suppose something as stubborn and indestructible as Oppo demands respect. Cantankerous Oppo, offered an honorable, merciful death on a platform that has gone to absolute shit since I left but decides instead to take the dying hoopty to an abandoned parking lot to do 20mph loops until the wheels fall off. - Ernie

      and your humble correspondent, davesaddiction compiled a Kinja post leaderboard

      For any of you who have been featured here, thank you for making OPPO awesome. Please feel free to add this image below to your post, with a link back here, if you'd like. My hope is that this small token of recognition from our community will encourage others to put in the time for long-form articles or high-quality photography, or to start great conversations or take more trips and share them here, and maybe, possibly, to get a few more aspiring writers and photogs their start on a career in automotive journalism, like several OPPO alums have done in the past decade.

      If I missed your article/photos in this edition, I apologize (thumbnails and good titles help a lot) - please feel free to send me a private message with the link, and if it "passes muster", I'll add it to the next edition.

      Stay excellent,
      Dave

            Thanks for doing this! I know it isn't easy to sort through the mountains of sheepposts to find the good ones (to offense to our farmer friends). I've found the amount of community engagement to be perhaps better than it ever has been before so there is a lot of motivation for making good posts.

                      We should do our own #COTD

                      Edit: We could also make it Comments of The Day so it's a poll, and people vote for the best one.

                            @davesaddiction holy cow...this has only been going a week or two and there's tonnes of stuff I've clearly missed already!!

                            Thanks for the recognition too.

                                        Thanks for doing this @davesaddiction ! Just added the 'Best of Oppo' image and a link to this thread to that FIAT post. 🙂

                                        I'd reposted that FIAT 500 post on DriveTribe as well, and John over there just messaged me to tell me they have it scheduled to be on the Global page on the 22nd, so that's pretty cool!
