One man. One taxi. The Sydney Olympic Games. Buckle up for the ride of your life.
September, 2000. The Sydney Olympics are in full swing. Inside taxi T1066, it's an Olympic parade of nations. Bewildered Russians, drunken Americans, night-owling Slovenians, ecstatic Australians. And a writer-turned-cabbie who is rapidly nearing his limit.
Part sporting commentary, part social statement, part personal diary, this book is an hilarious fly-on-the-wall expose which does for the Olympics what 'He Died With A Felafel In His Hand' did for shared households. These are the Olympic highlights you never saw on Channel Seven. The stories which never made it past the PR sentries of Fortress SOCOG . . .
