The way Dave was shooting the other day ? Not to worry, we will beat our own team mate. We all need more range time before going to AZ.

Re: Problem and Solution.
Trent, I will pass the word to the other shooters here in Az, that you said that Bonner is coming to town to clean up at the Az State match. It will save a trip to the drug store for any needed laxitives.

Re: Problem and Solution.
Jim, I lived in AZ since 1997 until about a year ago. I only recently joined "Team Colorado". I kick myself in the ass every day for not getting out there and shooting silhouette with you guys when lived in AZ. I don't know what my problem was. Even bought a set of SB animals to shoot on my own. Not sure what took me so long to get off my butt and go for it.
Watch out for Bonner, he is coming for steel.
I am coming down for a different kind of steel. My Cadillac restoration is almost done and I gotta come down and inspect the old girl. Then she is off to the interior shop!

Wow, nice CaddyYak. The last one I saw like that was driven by a guy with a gold front tooth and 3 fake Rolex's on one wrist/arm. Can't wait to see that baby bombing down the dirt road out to CRC trailing a mile long plume of dust.

Re: Problem and Solution.
That $8,000.00 paint job will never see the miles of gravel road leading up to CRC. Nope... no way.
I drove that car everyday for 3 years, it'll definitely be a fair-weather car once this restoration is complete.
Although, I could carpool 6 to 8 shooters and all their gear! Maybe I should build a gun vault in the trunk!
I have a gold tooth on order.

I call shotgun, Kevin and Scott will cover the back windows so we can roll coyotes on the drive out. You better get some mud and snows on her, don't want to get stuck in the soft dirt hauling across the plowed fields chasing ol' Wiley.

That is one sweet ride!
Is it a '60? I can not quite place the in-the-bumper lights. Here is a 'tube video homage to the extraordinary Eldorado Biarritz Convertible complete with Stan Kenton accompaniment.

Re: Problem and Solution.
It is a 1961 Eldorado Biarritz convertible. There were only 1450 of them made that year, and an estimated 247 of them left "on the road". Mine has been in "restoration" for a little over 4 years now. It is remaining mostly stock other than paint color. Still has the vacuum tube radio. Love it.RBriscoe wrote:That is one sweet ride!

I love the 1960 as well. No other car more resembles an aircraft fuselage.

Trent,
I can only imagine your pride in owning such a significant piece of American automotive heritage. Please, please post some more pix when you get her finished.
Cheers,

Re: Problem and Solution.
Mary, I would like that. I have not shot silhouette for a long time but the club I am a member of here in Rio Rancho is building a smallbore silhouette range and they have enlisted my help in getting something started. I miss those matches out at Aurora with Dave, Bob, Kevin and the guys. I will let you all know when we get something started.

Hey Trent:
Take a look at the link below. It just amazes me that at the same time your Caddy was rolling of the assembly line the E-Type was born. Since it is the E-Types 50th birthday I thought everyone should see the most beautiful and mind-blowing car design ever, period.
