Hello, my name is Michael,

and I own a UC!! :spoton: :spoton:

and it's a Sunbird at that!! :rockon: :rockon:

seriously, I am amazed at the (good) comments I get at car shows about the car.

And for long distance trips, I wouldn't go past it!

cheers
Mick



But everybody else does

Good comeback... I'll pay that one! :spoton:

Although some of the guys in the Club reckon I drive it like a V8!!

The UC front is the WB Statesman front of the Torana line up, the last and most refined, yet nothing like the previous models.

Can't say I'm a big fan of the tail lights though.....

You will get more respect on the road driving a UC.

I've heard many motorists say:

"Be careful of that car, it's a UC torana!" :lol:

There's 4 good things about UC's that I can think of.

1. A proper handbrake
2. Good front end
3. Engine bay has smooth sides
4. Intrusion bars in the doors.

I guess there could be this -

5. Pretty easy to turn into an LX

That's not bad really. I couldn't say 5 nice things about an XD - AU falcon.

My LH side air vent on my UC spins and makes a aeroplane noise while doing 100km/h will post a vid after the weekend to share this awsome optional accessory



I used to flick all my air vents on a main road and watch them spin like crazy... Once a leaf flicked out and hit me in the face :S
