Hi, i still live on the same estate, up the road from wealstone place , i am now 40, but you filmed it when i was 11 yaers of age and you drove past my street and saw my dads old car. I tried to recognise your faces, but unsure whether i do,.. It really bought back memories... Thank you so much, i just cannot believe how time has past so quickly, left me feeling nastalgic..
Glad you liked it. Quality is pretty poor but it was many many years ago. Great memories for myself and friends. And awesome to see trees that have green massive since when the video was taken.
I remember about 16 years after this when my friends began to drive. The completely unnecessary acceleration like a right bellend and just going to random places getting in and out of the car all day, literally any excuse to drive somewhere, thats what this video gives me memories of tho mine was in the 2000s so later than this. We had games consoles but the internet wasnt quite what it is today yet so still a lot of driving, willen lake and seeing the deer and sunrises when you have been out all night, and just going to mates places back and forth, good times.
I was 18 when this video was made, I didn't start to learn to Drive until i was 20! I find this video of MK from the early 90's brilliant as my first and only visit to MK has been much more recent wich was 2021
Good to know that people were sending their shitboxes down the road @ 12:50 30yrs ago as well, I have dashcam of my mates and I doing the exact same thing 😂
Thank you posting this video brings back lots of happier times I was a 11 at this time and this was when cars were cars and people were people and Milton Keynes a much nicer place to be love see all the old cars I remember this very well back then it made me feel happy to find this video good times
I live in Campbell park and often go with my two boys to the basketball hoop and 'big slide' a bit behind the one stop in Springfield (appears in this video at 20:00) - Springfield hasn't changed much. Also instantly recognised the old petrol station at the beginning at the one which used to be in Peartree Bridge...
Brilliant tunes - brilliant times - I moved to MK in 1991 and thats when the music scene started to get awesome - The Sanctuary / Ultra Vegas - What brilliants times Great Video it went all around where I lived and loved
Ha! Driving up to Brickhill woods to hang out. Bloody hell! 7 years after you lot, my mates and I were doing the same thing. We all lived in Newton Longville, and some in West Bletchley.
this was the year i first visited mk, i was 18. i ended up moving to mk in 2000. loved thi town since i first saw it. :-) shame its gone down hill now with all the council destruction. :-(
Hi Leonard, Excellent video of you driving in MK in 1990, those days of motoring was enjoyable before the Mobile phones, viral internet and newer technologies were amazing and more socialising with friends. I would also assume that the cost of living was cheap with less people having to worry about the environment and other things. Since gaming consoles and smart phones were invented people started to meet up less. Just got questions if that’s ok, how old were you at this time, was your car insurance cheap for that time? Also please would be able to add more old videos as well and record a new video of this route same way like the passenger recording the route please??? In appreciations, thank you so much for the videos and I look forward to seeing more videos.
@@incognito_. those things happened after the internet/wwwdot, obviously!. The holocaust couldn’t have happened without it, hitler consolidated power via the internet. Pol pot too. I think the internet (MySpace)assisted the betrayal of Jesus Christ.
Going down h9 groveway past open University slip road in forgotten about that there is another roundabout outside there now. Further down they where buildings walnut tree and Kents hill developments. A lot has changed in those 30 something years.
Hi leonard bit of a weird one but did you know someone by the name Emily Middleton from Milton Keynes around 90/91? She's my mum and she gave me a tape of 'Rave Tunes' a couple months back that was given her by a mate in 91 and i've noticed it seems to have the exact same mix of tracks as the ones played as you drove around in this video. Just wondering if I have your tape!
Wow, well maybe. I don't recognise your mum's name, but run some of these names past her. Maybe she knows one of my friends and somehow it was a tape I made and they got a copy. Cameron Bradbury John Slice Darren Rumsby Derek Powers Linda Bradbury Sarah Cooling
I think it was tape but I did get a portable Panasonic CD player which had a 3.5mm jack to tape adapter. Then I started using CDs. If I remember it had a 10 second buffer to stop CD skip in the car. Tape was a compilation I recorded at home from CDs I bought. I had a technics CD and tape recorder.
I was 11 in 91 but remember it like yesterday. My mate took me out on his job about 20 years ago to milton keynes. By the afternoon, after he finished his delivery, we went to this huge lake with bars/restaurants around the outside. Does any9ne know where this would be in MK? Thanks.
The Ford Fiesta A36 VBD was last taxed in May 1994, and the Metro was last taxed in December 1994 after only 4 years on the road. What happened to them?
Either crashed or fell apart. Even in the nineties cars were still pretty shoddy compared to now, I remember people buying brand new cars post-1991 and within 1-2 years there was some kind of serious issue. My current car is a 2016 model and has never gone wrong apart from a dead brakelight bulb and needing a couple of tyres.

Funny post, brought back a few memories...Evans and Rumsby, They still look the same now 🤭 Girl looks familiar or am I confusing her with Bradburys now ex 🤷
![Night driving on abandoned Forest Road [ASMR/scary]](/img/1.gif)
The bravery shown by the metro driver overtaking is breathtaking.
I still play KLF.
That song in the beginning is total early 90s hip hop at it's prime and the driving was perfect with it 😊 Nice to see 30 years ago in decent quality!
Go For It... Yep it was great tune. 32 years later and music is dead... 😭
Hype!
Go For It... What a tune! 😎 Who else misses good music?

The music in the car adds to the scenery beautifully. Thank you for uploading.
The music. The lovely, lovely music. Oh, my. Take me back! Unfinished Sympathy at 20:00... Oh my gosh. What a time capsule this is.
One of my favourite songs in the 90s sounds better in 2023
I wish I had videos of me and my mates in 1991. Great video, I loved the tunes. Thanks for sharing 👍

My era. I was 17 in 91 and driving a mk2 escort. No abs or esc back then. Driving was a much more real experience i think. Thabks for sharing👍
Good to know that people were sending their shitboxes down the road @ 12:50 30yrs ago as well, I have dashcam of my mates and I doing the exact same thing 😂
I was half expecting to see my car some where. We were in the same class at school. 👍Great video!!
The strange frame interpolation really messes with the originality of this.

Did you live in springfiels as well, cause i was 11 when this was filmed
I hope metro boy has learnt his stopping distances by now.
Apart from that, a good time capsule

The drive from Springfield to Langland Road took me back. Used to live at 286. I was 17 when this was filmed, living on Oldbrook... Awesome👌
Wow! Netherfield looked different back then
This was awesome. Thanks for posting.
Ooh, droppin' some sweet tunes with True Faith, take me away, still got it on 12" - ed DJ.
Can't beat a bit of Massive Attack and The KLF!!
These are the justified ancients of Springfield

Sandy Lane complete with burnt out cars! Definitely 90s living in Milton Keynes!
Lived on Walbrook Ave..opposite us was if anyone remembers them The Dunsfords on Turnmill. Janet was the manager at the local store M&W.
How MK used to be when it was good
Haha you parked up just outside my old house I grew up in. On turnmill avenue. The good old days.
Lol started off on Springfield where I grew up. I lived on Clerkenwell place
Woah.
I listen to this song tody when I drive.
Lol
What could be more 90s uk than a mk2 fiesta playing with a metro lol
The soundtrack was great !
Great to see Langland Road.
You drove past where I live now 😂
this was the year i first visited mk, i was 18. i ended up moving to mk in 2000. loved thi town since i first saw it. :-) shame its gone down hill now with all the council destruction. :-(
Damn bro you've got some great taste in music
These lot are in their 60s now. Anyone able to name and shame? I'm a local and can recognise loads of this video. Amazing 😍
Probably filled the whole fuel tank for £15
I was hoping we'd get a good look at the fuel prices, but alas :(
Going down Sandy Lane used to be fun lol 😂
Shout goin' out to the Springfield massiv from the Crownhill crew. Nuff said.

I got my first car around the same time which cost £550 and my first year of insurance was about £180 a year third party, fire and theft!😲
@@koksyI insured an 87 metro as my first car a couple years ago, 2.5k
Is that the “ok garage? Wow this was like travelling back in time thankyou for doing this.
Lived there for 30 years and loved it, sadly loads of drugs on the scene then as the city was growing
Sound system sound fantastic 👍
This is how nice humans were before the birth of the internet. Soon as the internet arrived the world became toxic! fact.
Internet was the 1960s. You mean the world wide web, 1993, but really you mean web2.0 i.e. interactability.
Bah!! Technology is evil. I prefer a medieval lifestyle, with leeches to suck my blood when i'm sick from lack of heating.
Yes. Humans were so nice pre internet, slavery, two world wars, racism,Etc.
There were just as many ass holes around then as there are now. We're just more aware of them.

Oh and i also run up that steep hill in Bow Brickhill to the golf course!
Wicked music!
That sounds like some new jack swing music

prob rust
I'm suprised the Metro lasted until 4 years old. Surely crashed. Cool video though.
09:00 the songs is True faith - take me away

Great video
How many times did you go to the sanctuary
MK2 fiesta. A36 VBD untaxed since may 1994.. metro. G73 SNV untaxed since December 1994
Milton Keynes..... I take it this town specializes in economists.

8:30 ... Tune!
How skinny are those tyres lol
The quality is rubbish but I recognize the route, was it the OK garage, !
Back in the day this was high quality. It was the OK garage and of course it's still there but now a car wash but easilly recognisable.
Well, like the quality ain’t good since it was only 19 fucking 91
