Albert Ross Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 CD's or Tapes whichever suits the ICE you have, such as the then current "Now that's what I call shite", plenty of Kylie albums, A Neighbours calendar, a decent late 80's SLR Camera like a Minolta X-700 or summat like, that kind of stuff. A newspaper from the Berlin wall falling? Maybe? Was that 1989? Or 91? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chester drawers Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 CD's or Tapes whichever suits the ICE you have,20 years since this was released How about an iconic flyer? Mind you, I don't imagine too many people arrived in a 25 Turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrogeezer Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Rubik Cube is much earlier 80's than that - would suit a car from 83/84.How about a filofax?? Given it would have been a 'company car' type choice at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 What about some of those little orangey-pink 'm.u.s.c.l.e. men' figures, they were all the rage in my school about this time. Just empty a little dustbin full of 'em into the passenger footwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just empty a little dustbin full of 'em into the passenger footwell.Must have been after my time them... All I had was a 6 Million Dollar Man and an Eagle Eye Action Man....Shell suit, walkman, chest hair and medallion (which i still have), bottle of poppers, pint of snakebite, Whitesnake on the hi-fi and away we go.Of car period accessories - did people have those silly "lumionos" splat stickers then? and were those "wavey hands" that you could stick in the window still in? I have a "Maximiser" in th eloft for that "Big Red LED Look".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Some good suggestions here. What about a Commodore 64, some McCain Micro Chips and a Soda Stream? Actually a Soda Stream is probably a bit too old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Last year, I went to the local car show on the way back from work and left my brown suit jacket hanging on the hook in the rear.Somebody thought it was a fun joke that had been left there deliberately. I was wearing the matching trousers at the time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Definately a pager. I had one of those up till 1997 Actually it was my mums, when I went to uni it was before mobile phones were affordable/available to all so we just had the payphone in halls. She gave me her old work pager so if she needed me, she paged me and I rang her back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
