He changed "Olympic" to "McCafferty" years ago because Olympic no longer run in Australia (Greyhound own both brands rebadged all Olympics after buying out McCafferty's). Silvertop he's always used in every city and town I've seen him play. My guess is it's easily recognised as a Taxi brand even though they only run in Melbourne.
for "djdickhead" he changed the word from " olympic " to " Mccathertys" becuase he tends to localise the song to the area he is playing in. this was recorded in Brisbane so he used the name of the queensland bus company . If you listen to most verisons he will change the bus company name or taxi name depending on the area or city he is playing

It is a great version. The atmosphere at the lyric theater Brisbane, was charged. As always Paul, So much style and the band was a class act. You get better every time around this great country.
is that the drummer from the Rockwiz band?
