I passed in 92, the 90's were epic for more than use the cars.
mine was a late 80's car but I have a 5GT Turbo at the age of 21
Rallying, touring cars etc etc where all great to go watch.

i passed in 2002 but growing up as a petrolheaded kid in the 90s was still awesome for me.
The guy who lived across the road had an r5gtt, the other had a g40/60. watching 90s rally cars inches away from you passing at 150.. my god. briliant

This was the pinnacle era of motorsport for me. Absolutely epic.

I'm sure I went to the watch a BTCC night race at Silverstone back then. Never did go to the F1 because we were poor, but did do loads of other stuff.
Car crime was also a bit mental back then too.

the 90's tailed off towards the end for me, when in early 97 my girlfriend told me she was pregnant.
Went from single pringle, to partner, house and kid very quickly...

I passed in 92 too and a year later my mum siad I couldn't have a GT Turbo. My dad came with me when I bought it 😆. The turbo tin cans on the era were amazing, I wish modern hot hatches had some turbo lag to play with.
I guess I was especially lucky to be able to buy my dream car when I was young.

Passed in 91, had a couple of normal fiestas then ended up going down the bike route as it was a cheap route to speed, always feel i missed out a bit, defo think the 90s was one of the best era's for interesting cars.
i will sound like an old t**t now, but the roads were so much different in the 90's you could enjoy driving, you could take the piss a bit when conditions allowed, a lot more enjoyable than now.

Whichever has fuel
I remember driving along an A road, doing about 70mph. My mate next to me so close we were passing cigarettes and lighters to eachother. 😂
Used to go out for a drive at about 9.30pm most nights as the roads were absolutely dead.
Sadly I was poor and had s**t cars. Would have been amazing if I had something that was good to drive, too. 😂

Before I was into cars, I remember rocking up to my uncle's house and two of my older cousins had matching XR3i's... one red and one white, I thought they were cool.
Then my first burst of real acceleration was when my first girlfriend's big brother gave me a lift home in his R5 GT Turbo. That started a real love affair with them and to be honest they're still my favourites to this day.

Plus Murray Walker commentating on the chaos 👌👌
I passed in 02 but my family were car traders in the 90s . My uncle had 1 of everything as that was his goal .
Stick out cars for me were brand new 22B, NSX, 911s, MR2 turbos , Evos 3 to 6,
Were I had my fun was the part exs . I'd have Novas for £50 . Tart them up and sell on . 205s clios coras .
My number 1 sellers were always cavaliers and vectras . Cavs always sold for £700 easy money! Vectras were good sellers at £1500 . Ls models etc
Also like dan said going out on a Sunday night with mates . Few handbrakes on a car park . Park up . Bang the tunes . Kick a ball about . Watch some dickheads race .
I find my self putting my old CD collection on in my car now and pretend I'm off out for the night with old mates 😌 them were the days !

Went up there a few times to see Tony with my mate in his saffy cos used to run about 330 and that was pretty epic back in the day.
He sold it to a lad who had wanted to buy it from him for years kept offering more and more money so eventually he sold it him.
He only owned it 3 days and wrote it off! 😞 330 rwd and lack of driving skills is not great combination, my mate wanted to kill him for smashing it up after all the time and money he put into it🤣
Used to take my fiesta RS turbo to Castle performance engineering all the years I owned it. Not far from Turbosystems.
Could be a good day out.

Passed in 1987 - I7 and out in Sierra Cosworth’s / 911’s and most other things you can remember back then -
Crazy times the late 80’s to early 90’s - however the one thing that sticks in my head was you couldn’t half get around the country in quick time and fuel was cheap 🤣🤣🤣

You didn’t need to be a millionaire in 1987 to own one as they cost around 14k - but we did have a large fleet of cars due to being in the Motor-trade to experience -
