The Autumn Classic, Prescott Speed Hill Climb

Bev and I popped along to Prescott yesterday for the Autumn Classic. There was an American theme which meant a really eclectic selection of cars, from car park to paddock. 1903 Oldsmobiles, kustoms, hot rods, steam cars, Harleys, Indians and Flatheads; all of life was there!

The sun shone, hotdogs were eaten (or in Bev's case, artisan-prepared garlic in chili, cheese stuffed peppers and houmous) and a great many photos taken. Here are some of my faves. Enjoy!

Vignette

Those of you who use fruit-based mobile phones have probably heard of, or have installed a program called Hipstermatic or something. I have an Android phone and so have something called Vignette instead. Here are some pics I've taken with it:
