Pick a decade, any decade...
Discussion
As I sat at home on Saturday night, iPad in my hands browsing the world wide web, with my OH swearing at wannabe popstars on Xfactor, I asked myself this question...
'If I had to run three cars from one decade, what decade would I choose and what cars would I choose'.
I quickly decided the 90's suited me best and set out to find these cars. The cars would be a sensible mix, a do everything car, a weekend away/ fun car for me and a car for my OH.
I'd keep our 1990 Mk1 Golf and her indoors could use that (as she does now anyway), I'd get the best E36 M3 I could afford and then I'd find an RS2 as the do everything/family vehicle.
I just love 90's cars, I was born 1990 so I guess it is what I grew up seeing.
So, pick a decade and pick the cars...
ETA: I know we get this sort of thing all the time, but it's just nice to look at peoples varying opinions and then discuss the changes in design/technology over the years.

90's for me.
92 - Mclaren F1 GTR for well, any damn use I could think of as often as I could

98 - Impreza 22b for more family orientated use.

93 - 850 T5 for general tip or big load lugging duties.

Great question, with an easy answer.
Definitely 90s for me too. I was born in '82, so the 90s was when the addiction REALLY took hold.
This specific version:
And, cheating just a touch, I'd have one of these as well. Simply because my dad's mate had one and, at the age of eight, a boost guage was literally the coolest thing on the planet.

Probably 1980s. I loved the flamboyant coupes and three-box saloons.
The super cars really were super
A decade that really put rally cars on the map:
Ford threw away the mold
We also witnessed some pretty fruity looking hot hatches:

And 'Turbo' became one of the most desirable words in the english language
