My parents bought one of the Commodores that were driving VIPs around the games. A Special Olympic edition Commodore. They sold that car over 10 years ago. In fact the car they replaced the Commodore with has also since been sold.

I didn’t know the bus museum had left Tempe.

@maniacalmanicmania @ajsadauskas It's currently in Leichhardt North, at the back of the Transit Systems bus depot, and a short walk from the light rail.

Of course, the best way to get there is on one of the historic busses that departs from QVB.

I'll aim to post some more interesting photos from there over the coming days.

@ajsadauskas @sydney there used to be one of the big metal logos, with full olympic colours, sitting down this little side street in st peters https://www.google.com/maps/@-33.9179547,151.1710436,3a,75y,140.36h,95.53t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s90ubhPoAQ4RBHkCYMzBalQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192?entry=ttu

I feel like I see one on the regular in the area somewhere but I can’t remember where. I’m sure it’ll come to me. It’s like someone put it up on the side of an office. Maybe near Bunnings Alexandia or Tempe Vinnies. My memory is failing.

@maniacalmanicmania @warkolm There are a couple of busses that pass through Olympic Park — the 525, 526, and 533.

I think it would be a nice touch if they painted up a few of the (newer) busses on those routes in the Olympic design...
