@KILLERFR0GY If you'd bothered to read all the text associated with the video, you would've found that ALL the people in the video are New Zealanders and by the look of it, a good share of them are actually Maori. So, where you got the idea that any of them are from the US is completely beyond me...

@beno7398 Land-ow (as in cow). They were the Fairmont 2-door with ALL the bells and whistles added. They rusted like crazy under that vinyl turret, but despite all that, they were the epitome of luxury in the 70's in Oz.

Bob Tindal wins the series in a car built from chalk marks on his workshop floor! It was running an F5000 Repco engine with Lucas mechanical injection. What a beast!

Anyone know where that car is now?

R.I.P. Bob. Aussie racing missing a great driving and mechanical talent.

Fercrissake! Get a wind sock for your camera!!

Magfrigginnificent!!!!!

That Epi is SOOOOO far out of tune!

It was written by Johnny Young and produced by Ian "Molly" Meldrum, who having been influenced by his association with the Beatles as a reporter for Go-Set magazine, applied some of the tricks he learned while in England......or so Molly said.

It was widely known that Jo Stafford had perfect pitch and only someone with perfect pitch could sneak up on a note like that and just miss. Paul Weston as Jonathan was quoted as saying that: "Why just play four notes in a bar when you can play 5 or 7?"

The song is Treat Her Right and I think was originally done by Roy Head and the Traits.

RICK ASTLEY?????

He was shit 25 years ago and hasn't mellowed with age.

@Buasop Two words: Dusty Springfield. The originator of "blue-eyed soul".

Sam Brown on the Pulse Tour also gave it a brilliant feel too.

That concert was a hoot. It was a 2SM gig with Sherbet, TMG, Hush and I think Skyhooks were there.......memory's faded a bit lol, but the girls jumping in the harbour trying to get to the barge were hilarious at the time, still are.

@rwoods2k Chet Baker, Gerry Mulligan, Charlie Parker and Ray Charles were also big heroin users. Such talent, yet such insecurity that they needed that sort of a crutch. Rumour has it that Buddy Rich was a huge amphetamine freak, back in the days when you could buy them at any corner store. Kinda...

George released this song not long after the settlement was made with the Chiffons on the plagiarism case over "He's So Fine". "This song, in black or white and as far as I know, don't infringe on anyone's copyright, Ohhh!"

He always had the driest sense of humour out of the four of them as far ...

Jeez Doc. The "good life" hasn't agreed with you at all. Get some more exercise or something mate.

@tattoofu You're absolutely right.They weren't too happy about the name change in the States...but wadda ya do? Doc Neeson is a great singer and went on to have a pretty good side career as a voice over man in Aussie commercials lol. Through the 80's and 90's, there was always somewhere in Sydney...

Sound like a group of buskers at a weekend market.

How bloody ordinary

The singer here is Eric Stewart, who with Graham Gouldman the bass player for about 8 months at the end of the band, went on to form 10cc. Gouldman was also who wrote this along with other stuff like Bus Stop and Look Through Any Window for the Hollies; For Your Love, Heart Full Of Soul for the Y...

@thehulk3010.....the Tacoma is the US equivalent of a hi-lux ya goose!

*presses 1 for english

A 5 litre engine typically would have carburetion (or fuel injection) air volumes @ full throttle of 650 cubic feet / min. Now just using rough maths you can balpark that cfm figure down to around 100cfm for a 1.5L engine on half throttle - typical highway setting. So, in order to make any differ...

If there were 8 magnets set around it, you'd probably have the sound of a V8!

What's so dangerous about that? The backwash off the concrete wall stops you from running into it. Basic fluid dynamics. Used to do the same sort of thing in the ocean pools in the Nthn Sydney beaches when i was a kid!
