Raining Pleasure, can't find a full version just 30sec here - the promo video had scenes from the train always reminded me of where I once lived Caringbah/Cronulla, brick apartment blocks (probably wasn't, Melbourne maybe), saw them live once at an RSL club, Balmain.

Holdens - HD, popular surf wagons in the stationwagon version. Friend has restored one his parents bought new, so just 2 owners in same family.
Anyway, music . . . feeling nostalgic today and some old Brits here, Jethro Tull re-formed their original lineup for a few tunes in 2001, and a solo effort from Mick Abrahams who was on their first album way back about 1968 or 1969 - he was 60 when this was filmed - 67 now and still playing! Way to go
