Loads of people my age rave on about the eighties. I was born in 86, I don't even fucking remember it!

I had a home made Tracy Island. :D

Oh and Sensible Soccer is a brilliant shout! What a game! I remember a friend of mine's dad was an IT technician, he had like four PCs in his living room. We went round once and had a Sensible Soccer tournament for his birthday. Fantastic. lol

I was born in 84 and the only thing I remember about the 80's is a trip to spain and being forced to dress like an idiot by my parents for a couple of years.

90's was good, Liver was still fully functional and my lungs weren't full of tar and I spent most of it thinking girls were weird. Happier days.

The more I think about it, the 80s had some really cool cars!

Trav lol I love how you have to post a picture of the back of it because it's so fucking ugly otherwise. What a terrible call.

80s cars are amongst the worst in history.

I guess most people went online some time in the 90's.

Kinda changed the world.

Pretty big plus for the 1990's.

I went online for 6 months in 2005 and then permanently in late 2008. I didn't even know t'internet was around in the 90's!

I wish I was old enough to go raving in the early 90s

I started in '93 I think but I just missed out on the best years which were '90-'92 from what I've heard. '93-'95 were still excellent though - Jay Jay's/Mr B's, DieHard and Venue 44 were clubs of greatness. Hardcore FM, which I think was from Leicester is still my favourite radio station ever ('91 and '92) and they used to tell some stories about Raindance, Shelley's and The Eclipse and all that. Sounded amazing.

Still got a few good tapes from them, might put them on Youtube soon.

Be back in a sec.

The 80s was the era of the hot hatch - by the 90s hot hatchs were weighed down by "safety features" :rolleyes:

If I could only ever have ONE car it would be the Lancia Delta Integrale

Or maybe one of these...

Britain still made cars back then.

(Incidentally all the best cars were made in the 60s - I'm just trying to balance things out a bit... I think the 80s were a bit naff :whistle: )

I'll give you the Delta, from a sporting point of view. But otherwise? Horrendous.

The 90s had better rally cars anyway, the 96 Impreza! And the Toyota Celica! PLUS....

... TOURING CARS!

Two of the first matchbox cars I had as a (90's) kid was two RS200s

prefer the Escort RS Cosworth though

That photo was taken back in 2007. All I remember was the place being massively busy, but even this (above) has been taken down now. Been looking round and it seems like it's been a hot spot for people that like looking round / get curious by this sort of thing, found some photos taken from summer 2009 on the internet, there's nothing left apart from the old pier type thing. It'd freak me out if I went there just after it closed I think, looks such an eerie place.

That's where the Missile used to be.

The rapids.

These are a couple of years old now, God knows what's still there.

Doesn't look right :( Remeber the 3D theatre as well, I watched the Denmark game at the 2002 world cup there :cool:

lol Rico has just proved that the 90's was the decade for teenage girls and the 80's were better.

(apart from the ravin part of the 90's - which even the grebs got involved with, they knew what time it was)

In the 80's we had rally-cross - haven't seen that on TV for ages. Figure of 8 tracks, part dirt, part gravel, part tarmac, the likes of RS200s, Escort Mexicos Audi Quattros and 6r4s bombing round crazily... my favourite kind of motorsport.

And not a 80s or 90s car, but just drop dead gorgeous rally car...

Rallycross in it's prime was all Group B stuff though wasn't it? Sort of takes the shine off a little having specially made sports cars, like the RS200 and the 959.
