We have put together a sample of some 90’s clothes that we feel truly shows how people looked in 1990’s.

If you have any pictures of yourself wearing your 90’s clothes we would love if you could send it to us. Please leave a comment saying that you want to show us your 90s clothes.

This ‘bad boy’ 90s car could achieve 180mph thanks to its Lotus chassis and twin turbo engine.

2. Vauxhall Calibra – 1990

Another 90’s classic car, the Calibra was the car to be seen in. Somehow it looked good but still had room in the back for the family.

3. Ford Mondeo – 1993

The Ford Mondeo was the most stable Ford saloon car ever created.

4. Range Rover 1994 edition

This gas guzzling monstrosity first made an appearance in 1974 but it was during the late 1990’s that this car become a common sight.

5. Lexus LS430 – 1996

Known as the Japanese Mercedes by Sir Alan Partridge, the lexus or lexi (singular) was one of the greatest luxury cars of the 1990’s.

6. Renault Clio Williams – 1995

The Renault Clio Williams was the first real “hot hatchback” and was often seen tearing down the motorways on way to illegal raves during the mid 1990’s.

7.Mercedes Benz A-Class 1998

“Oh lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes benz..” The A class finally made owning a Mercedes an affordable possibility during the late 1990’s.

8. Mazda MX-5

Whilst the MX-5 was first produced in 1989, it was during the 1990’s that this roadster made its mark.

9. Nissan Skyline GT-R – 1999

“The ultimate car for the playstation generation”, the Skyline GT-R could be tuned to achieve 1000bhp.

10. McLaren F1 – 1994

The Mclaren F1 had the ability to hit 241mph and even had a engine casing made out of 24 carat gold. Sadly there will never be a car like this again.

1. The Aeroplane
The sheer speed with which this invention has developed astounds me. Alcock and Brown were the first people to fly the Atlantic in 1919, and then just 40 years later we had jumbo jets doing the very same journey. When you think about it, that’s a short space of time for such a big leap.

2. The Mouli Grater
I’m pretty sure it’s a 20th-century phenomenon, and it’s much better than a fancy 2008 food blender. It’s a simple hand-cranked steel cheese grater invented by a Frenchman. It’s one of those things that nobody has ever been able to improve upon. I like to grate a good old piece of cheddar on mine - maybe to then melt down and make some kind of cheesy sauce. I may also put a hunk of Parmesan in my mouli or, perhaps, a radish. Very nice.

3. The Atomic Reactor
This has had a lot of bad press. But I’m sure there’s something in atomic power, so we need to stick with it. I’ve tried to invent a few things myself in the past. I devised cash machines with a gamble function, but I couldn’t find a bank interested in it. Then I invented a machine that recycled newspaper into bog roll. You sit there on the loo reading, put your paper in the slot and once you’re done and instantly you’ve got bog roll. that’s got to be good, but not as good as an atomic reactor.

4. The Space Shuttle
I like the Space Shuttle for its ability to put up satellites. Without it, we wouldn’t have sat-nav. Beyond that, I’m slightly cynical about these passenger shuttle flights being banded around. It happened before in the early seventies. PanAm opened a ’space flight club.’ It said: “Soon we’ll be able to take you to the moon on holiday, pre-book now.” They took the money and nothing happened. Now everyone’s signing up again! The fools…

5. The PC
I hate computers but i reluctantly acknowledge that people are more in touch thanks to PCs. What I dislike about them is going to buy one. Some awful chap in a suit tells you a million things you don’t understand, takes your cash and then presents you with a box full of more boxes. I’ve got two Apple Macs and they’re pretty neat, but having to buy them was hell. I’d rather slit my wrists than go through that again.

6. Television
It’s such a marvelous world-changer. We rely on TV now, but we didn’t even have it a few decades back. It shows just how great TV is for it to make my list at all because, as a rule, I prefer mechanical things. Seriously, they do. Smell a mechanical alarm clock and tell me which one you prefer.

7. The National grid
OK, electricity is a 19th-century invention, but the idea that it could be standardized for a whole county is very much a 20th-century phenomenon. It’s such a fantastic idea and you wouldn’t want a fridge or an iPod without it. It opened the door for millions of future inventions like teleporters - I wish someone would invent them. Or an anti-gravity levitation personal-transport capsule. that would be good. It’s something I fantasize about a lot.

8. The Sellotape dispenser
I can’t think about how the world existed without Sellotape, but equally, I can’t see how anybody uses the stuff without a dispenser - it’s impossible to find the end of the tape. If this machine hadn’t been invented, the amount of people dying from stress-related illness would be double.

9. The Heart And Lung Machine
Prior to this, anything that went wrong with your heart was inoperable. The ability to stop someone’s heart while you mend it, and then fire it back up, is remarkable. I find it amazing that we could invent something as unbelievable as this in the 20th Century.

10. The Electric Screwdriver
Self-assembly furniture is such a big thing, and putting large quantity of self-tapping wood screws in by hand is absolute murder. The powered screwdriver has liberated DIY man. Can I just say that the mobile phone is my least favorite 20th-century invention. I hate telephones, and now you can’t escape them.

Teletubbies is, as you almost certainly know, a BBC2 television programme for children. Small children. Pre-school children, in fact. It is called Teletubbies because each character has a small screen in their tummy which can show TV pictures. A Teletubby is a furry, rounded, primary-coloured creature with an aerial sticking out of its head, a face ranging from pale beige to dark beige, very big eyes, a twitchy nose and a happy smile. It has grey circular rubber grips on its feet. They are of a very sunny disposition, and are terribly likeable. They hold each other in very high regard (”Teletubbies love each other very much”, we were told once) but unlike some shows it isn’t rammed down our throats, which is appreciated.

The show has a structure along these lines:

* Intro song
* Windmill spins, Teletubbies run around madly
* Teletubbies say hello
* Short story/event
* Windmill spins, Teletubbies run around madly
* Teletubbies stand on a hill
* Each Teletubby in turn receives a small transmission flash on their tummy
* One Teletubby is honoured with the full transmission film and is very happy
* The (live action) film is shown - maybe a story, a song, or a film about a child
* When it is over, the Teletubbies say “Again, again!”
* The film is shown again
* Teletubbyland based story, usually with some vague moral
* If time allows, a vignette (signified by the windmill) happens - maybe the ships or the bear
* Windmill spins, Teletubbies run around madly
* Teletubbies stand behind hills, voice says goodbye to them, they say goodbye and duck down behind hills
* One Teletubby jumps up and says “Boo!”, others follow suit
* Voice says “Nooo” in a smiley voice, Teletubbies repeat
* Voice says goodbye again, Teletubbies say goodbye and duck down behind hills
* Sun sets (”The sun is setting in the sky, Teletubbies say goodbye”)
* In turn, Teletubbies say goodbye again, then jump into hole in roof of house
* Whichever Teletubby jumped up earlier pops out of the hole, waves and says “Bye bye!”

All that, in half an hour!
