About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to Bush Tyres, he noticed an odd sound coming from inside—a rhythmic tapping that seemed almost musical. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw an old mechanic humming softly while meticulously hammering together something out of scrap metal. As he watched, the old man deftly shaped a rusty piece into a strange contraption, humming along with some forgotten tune. The delivery driver couldn’t help but smile, thinking it looked like something out of a cartoon. Eventually, the mechanic stopped, nodded approvingly, and said, ‘Ah, she’s ready now.’ Turns out, it was just an old coffee maker—complete with tires for wheels.

2. A little boy walked into Bush Tyres one afternoon, eyes wide with wonder. Pointing excitedly at something on the ground, he asked his dad, ‘Dad, why is that tire talking?’ The father smiled and whispered, ‘It’s not talking, son. It’s just an old tyre someone brought in for recycling.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then looked up again with a twinkle in his eye. ‘But Dad,’ he said, ‘if it was really talking, would you believe it?’ His dad laughed out loud, ruffling his hair affectionately. ‘Probably not, mate!’

3. One day, while a mechanic was working late at Bush Tyres, he heard an announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your tires are talking!’ Curious, the mechanic approached the workshop door and saw that each tire had formed a small mouth from its valve stem. They started whispering among themselves in hushed tones. Smiling, he leaned closer and heard one tire say, 'Hey mate, your alignment's off!' Turns out it was just an old tyre telling him he's getting too old for these roads.

4. A neighbor stopped by Bush Tyres one rainy morning, umbrella in hand and dripping wet. As she approached the counter, she overheard the mechanic muttering something about ‘tyre spirits’. Curious, the neighbor leaned closer and asked what he meant. With a mischievous smile, the mechanic replied, 'Oh, just tyre spirits—those pesky souls that never seem to leave an old tire.' The neighbor laughed it off, but from then on, whenever it rained, she'd pop by for a chat with the friendly ghosts of Bush Tyres.
