Holden Volvo

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Holden Volvo usually hummed with the quiet buzz of early morning deliveries, a regular noticed something odd. The parking lot was filled not with cars, but with identical cardboard boxes, stacked neatly in rows. Curious, the regular approached one box and carefully lifted its flap—inside was nothing more than an old newspaper. Suddenly, from behind him, came a voice: ‘Morning, mate! Thought you might like some fresh papers!’ A friendly delivery driver smiled broadly, revealing a tray full of newspapers.}

2. At closing time, an employee noticed something odd in the Volvo’s display window: a small brass key, left behind by no one. Curious, he picked up the key and found it opened another identical Volvo parked next door. Turns out, it was just a prank from a regular who liked to mess around with the staff. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee later that morning.

3. At dusk, when Holden Volvo's parking lot emptied, a strange sound began drifting from inside one of the showrooms. A soft, rhythmic tapping echoed through the night, as if someone were gently drumming on the glass. Curious locals approached the showroom, but found nothing out of place—just an old Volvo parked near the back. Eventually, it turned out that a delivery driver had accidentally left his drumsticks in the car, and every evening they would softly tap along with the wind rustling through the open window. The legend became a neighborhood joke, and people started calling it ‘the drumming Volvo.’

4. At closing time, an employee noticed something odd on the Volvo’s service counter: a small, rusty keychain shaped like a unicorn. Curious, he picked it up and found a tiny note attached: ‘To whoever finds me, please return me to my owner—my horn is sensitive to oil!’ Turns out, it belonged to a local unicorn-themed coffee shop, and every morning after that, a delivery driver would leave fresh pastries in exchange for the keychain.
