Yes I can confirm this was how the 1990s was, a brilliant era I think. During the week we would drive around the local towns cruising under the illusion ladies would see our old bangers (MK2 Escort / MK1 Fiesta and find us irresistible😆. On Friday nights we would sometimes park up somewhere and listen to the Radio 1 Essential mix, smoke a few joints, talk and have a laugh. Nobody was responding to notifications, just totally in the moment and it's a feeling I miss.

Its funny, if I think back to the 90's when I was a teenager, I don't feel like the country has changed that much.

Thank you KZbin algorithm for this, it’s almost a comedy!! such characters all of them!! The 2cv girl was so sweet and innocent.

My mini was a knacker but I loved it, I remember lifting the carpet and watching the road go by😂😂😂 I made the mistake of trying to keep up with traffic on the M1 once, it got very grumpy and hot, I pulled onto the hard shoulder and the engine just stopped, I let it cool, started it and drove home slowly 😂 and never thrashed it again!

[@gandi69]

I think I was one of the last generation to have had a first car that was very old and interesting to drive. Kids today they start off with cars which even at 10 years old plus (unless buying a classic) have all the modern touches - PAS, ABS, Traction control, A/C, Bluetooth, electric everything. There is something quite charming about basic motoring

[@johnpill5513]

What was your first car? My first Car was a 2002 Vauxhall Corsa 1.0 Club that I bought in 2005, it only had PAS, it had a Cassette Player, to which I found a Phil Collins Cassette under the Seat, wasn't mine I swear lol...

[@gandi69]

Mine was a 1985 Austin metro Vanden plas, quite similar to one of the cars in these videos but 4 doors and 1275cc a series engine. It was a top spec one but nothing like abs or pas - only had tape player radio with no FM just long wave( with speakers that only worked in mono). It did have electric front windows though and a leaky sunroof. Even in these videos the lad was saying it was terrible and this was filmed 10 years before I had mine! Official the least cool car in the school car park but it was fun, 5 up thrashing it about

[@JohnnyPaton]

I've got a 2020 car with all the bells and whistles but recently acquired a 1994 Ford Escort 1.6 LX - the year I turned 21. It's actually refreshing driving something with no alarms, no engine management lights, EGR valves, sensors. Being an LX model you get a tilt and slide sunroof, electric front windows, boot release switch and a cassette player.

@@johnpill5513 mine was a 1979 T reg Vauxhall Chevette 1.1 litre in white with added orange bits and a hole in the floor under my feet. I bought it in May 1991 at 18 years old. It cost £80 and was soon replaced by a 1978 T reg MK2 Ford Escort Popular Plus.

😂😂😂😂 I bet he's got a volvo now, I was that age in 94, I've got an estate skoda now, when u look back at those cars and now I've got something that pretty much drives for me, least you could fix them yourself back in the day, didn't need to be plugged into a computer 😂😂😂

I actually like the sound of the Beetle guy’s dad more than him

I really enjoyed this (and the reps episode previously). However, I can't help but think these are possibly actors, and the whole thing was funded by the assoc of auto manufacturers (if that was even a thing). However, I really enjoyed the journey back in time, and the stories of these individuals. Thanks for uploading and sharing these gems.
