90's bands and nostalgia.... from another thread.

[littlespark]

Rather than continuing on the other thread which was something about dodgy MK fakes....

That’s what I paid for my first car...

White Mk1 Ford Fiesta

I had same Mk1 fiesta, but mine was "Sunshine Red".... or orange, as my gf, now wife, called it.
It cost me double what yours was, so it must have been twice as good.
Even back then it had 16 valves....

….. 5 in the tyres, 11 in the radio!

 

[Charlie_]

Mine was a metro van.
Well, to tell the truth it was a mk2 fiesta I stole off my dad at 2am and crashed but that doesn’t count as I was under age

The farm and emf

 

[Dustydazzler]

4 speed gear box

 

[littlespark]

My fiesta had a sunroof that had been added by a previous owner.... only leaked on the passenger side, so that was ok...
Came with a radio...(no cassette player) and only one speaker.

The tradesmen used to let us apprentices drive the works transit vans around the big sites when we were just 16.

4 speed gear box

Leaded fuel - gallon of 4 star for 10 bob

[Dustydazzler]

Adjustable air conditioning was how far you wound down the window.... yeh… WOUND down the window... no flippin' switches on the doors.

Was it really? I stand corrected.

Makes me want to fish out all my old vinyl records and have a rave.

Would have to buy a turntable first though

A mate of mine is after buying a 1993 Ford Orion.

Another one just bought a '91 Toyota Corolla GTI. He hadn't the money for a Twin Cam.

 

[Dustydazzler]

Roll of 2.5 ten quid + vodka and tonic

My cousin had a Lancia Delta,until he rolled it on a bend at the bottom of a hill - showing off to some girls

 

[rapparee]

It definitely feels like a divide between early and late 90s dance music.

Be lucky to find an Orion that she not rusted to buggery I think......my favourite motor from that time was a 1.9 205 gti! Proper diving that was!

It would have rusted away by now anyhow

The whole decade just seemed to roll into 1 moment for me

 

[Dustydazzler]

If you had money back in the 1990s the proper lads had either a Xr3i or gt205

No better reason to roll a car was there?

It's not too bad, he bought a mkii golf as well but it's not running yet.

Did you see how much a Renault GT5 is worth now.

Had an xr3i as well....didn’t compare to the 205....

One of the rich lads at college had an escort cosworth and then the following week would rock up in a 4x4 Sierra cosworth

[littlespark]

We can always tell, after a holiday or a long drive home.... we come into range of our local commercial radio station and within 30 minutes, they will play Urban Cookie Collective

Frightening really wasn’t it, what they’d let us loose in!
