An attainable 80's itch that needed scratching, I've already got



Others less achievable, but still drooled over when I had more zits and less gut

Sorry to repeat myself for those of you who've been over on the Classics forum recently, but... can't resist posting a pic of my piece of '80s fairly-obscurity:

Good choice, one of these is still on my "must own at some point" list.

My personal car interest seems stuck in the Eighties, currently I have this as my second car...


But previously ran this...


And that...


And two of these... although the last of the two was registered in 1990 so is a bit borderline!


The Eighties is a decade I apparently don't want to leave!

My parents had one of these in white when it was about 6 months old, back in 1994. Absolutely loved that thing, I'd buy one if I could find one.

I have an imported Integra. Released in 1989 although mine is a very early 1990 model.

160bhp, DOHC VTEC. Love it.

After much Google digging, I've unearthed a horrible memory from that decade.

I give you the Nissan Pulsar Gen2. Gah! Those rear lights! They still haunt me today!



You wanted obscure....

Blistering in the 80s.

A bit quicker than average today.

Without looking up the figures, I reckon a diesel Alpina D3 wouldn't be a million miles off Cosworth performance.

Alfa GTV6. Not particularly obscure but beautiful all the same, both aurally and aesthetically. cloud9
