Default DECENT CHAP!!! Paul Sinclair

I would just like to comment on the backup and support given by X-Factory and what a thouroghly decent chap Paul is.

During this weekends Oswestry National Paul Sinclair has virtually rebuilt my X5 as I was having difficulty with the drive train.

With the help of Dan Greenwood (electrics) and Chris Long (belts an pulleys), Paul took my car and fully re-fettled it.

NICE ONE!!!

The car ran great today, shame about the weather.

yea paul was an ace guy. and it was really good finding out more about the american racing. I think we should have a huge event that is almost a week long and invite all the american drivers over and see how we match up.

Hi guys, Paul is a very cool, well mannered and helpful kinda guy who is also able to be part of 'the crack'. Me and Dan have enjoyed having him around, sorry to see him go back to the USA to be honest.

Im going to extend my offer of him staying at my house when required, as it truly is a pleasure to have him in the UK supporting all of us, me and Dan included, he really is "Dialled" (as he'd put it).

Chris

Have to agree about Paul & Chazz.

I met Paul & Greg first time at the worlds warm-up in Italy. I ended up pitting beside them. We were all in different heats so I put cars down for them and they did the same for me.

Met Chazz them at the Worlds.

Very easy guys to get on with. One of the reasons why after the warm-ups I decided to get an X-5.

Definitely have that family atmosphere to the company.

Was good to meet up with you Paul, and I'll agree with the rest of the guys "A jolly decent chap".

I hope you are proud to go back to the USA knowing you were able to play a part in " team jigalow"

Shame Chazz couldn't make it to Oswestry, would have been cool meeting him again.

Good luck to you both at the Hot Rod Shoot Out.

Last week, Chazz & Paul went and saw Bury Metro, and I took Paul on Thursday to see Southport.

They say the tracks look very strange in there unprepared form, with no layout, they are used to tracks built to a layout and changed periodically by guys with minidiggers. They say the photo's make them look very bright and glamourous but they look quite 'in need of something' in person (probably the track markings and blowing leaves off). Its just a shame he couldn't race on them, as he would have done given the chance to.

Paul's a real nice lad - he really put alot of time into Damian's car and it showed in the way the car went.

It was also great to see someone direcctly representing a company who does not take it all too seriously,
