1. At Bristol Street Motors Ford Kings Norton, a delivery driver once exclaimed, ‘This car’s got more miles than my memory!’ as he tried to recall which customer ordered it.

2. At Bristol Street Motors Ford Kings Norton, a delivery driver once exclaimed, 'This car's engine sounds like it's talking!' And indeed, every time he started it up, the engine would croon out a tune—something between an old folk song and a modern jingle. Soon enough, word spread around town that if you honked your horn three times outside the dealership, the next car you'd test-drive would sing back. One day, a neighbor stopped by and asked if his new truck could join in on the fun. After some enthusiastic honking, they both listened as the engine replied with a heartfelt rendition of ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love.’ Everyone laughed so hard they forgot why they were there in the first place.

4. At Bristol Street Motors Ford Kings Norton, a delivery driver once announced over the PA: 'Ladies and gentlemen, your new Ford is here—just don't ask for directions.' A few weeks later, an excited neighbor approached the sales desk: ‘I heard you had a funny announcement!’ The salesman smiled: ‘Yes, ma’am, but that was just one of our drivers having fun.’ She nodded knowingly: ‘Well, every time I drive past now, it sounds like they’re saying “Ford’s on fire!”’
