Lets all wish him success

He can do with it the moment, especially as some ahole stole his trailer while he was at the NEC

Stole his trailer?!

If its the one he's had for the last few years, it's more of a transporter and what he drives to & from events in

Looks like he'll have to drive the Firebird back to Ealing

He sold the transporter at the end of the season Rob, think he's only just bought the trailor

Hi boys it's Paul just read your messages and I would just like to thank you for your nice comments about my move to Funny car. At least I have a Chrysler body at last and I feel at home on here!
I did sell my transporter at the end of the race season and therefore, had to borrow a trailer from a fellow drag racer which was stolen from the Autosport show at Birmingham NEC. Talk about ruining the show. Luckily another fellow drag racer came to my rescue with his trailer. I was petrified to let it out of my sight! So if anyones got a trailer for sale please let me know as I obviously have to replace it.

Robbing B******s
Nothing is safe especially at the NEC....security will be involved guaranteed
Bad luck Paul.
Congrats on the move to FC

Yeah,I know just raggin with ya. Wasnt his Motor sourced through Tweety some how, or maybe he just organised the shipping.

Had a couple of beers with Paul at the Mopar Nats around 3 years ago, real nice bloke.

Was there the weekend with his young son at the time, thats a lot of car to organise on your own. But he still ran well

Very nice bloke, got a lot of time for him..very savvy on the motors, helpful too

Best of luck with the new campaign
