Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) I have previously used the original colour version of this shot but I am now using this toned version. The 24-litre Napier-Railton is about to be 'fired up' in readiness for its run up Kop Hill. This, of course, allows me to link my photo to "Fire It Up" by Johnny Reid :-) Again 'Sight and Sound' has introduced me to more wonderful music :-) My previous upload was linked to "Picture Of You" by Johnny Reid. Larry (thank you, Larry) also gave me a link to "Today I'm Gonna Try And Change The World" by Johnny Reid ~ www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2ACmJPhz3Q Another fantastic track! If the YouTube comments and my research is correct the other guy in the "Fire It Up" video is Alan Frew of Glass Tiger. More new music to check out :-) I don't know the name of the lady singer but I think I may be falling in love :-) I have watched the "Fire It Up" video about twenty times in the last couple of days and my boppin' about has pretty much worn my chair out :-)) Added to ~ Sight and Sound: Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Fire It Up ~ Johnny Reid

The awe-inspiring 24-litre Napier-Railton being prepared for its final run and this was to be the final run of a magical weekend! Here's to next year's Hill Climb :-))

It is of no particular relevance but I did upload this shot to that other site! From www.speedhunters.com/2013/01/napier-railton-car-feature/ by Jonathan Moore - “There are some cars which have the power to completely captivate all of those around them just by their mere presence. No sound. No fanfare. Car people just know when there’s something special around. Heads turn, a crowd gathers. Jaws hang open. I know of few cars that have this power more than the astonishing Napier-Railton, a car which is 80 years old. I think this is one of the most beautiful, imposing cars ever made. And then you hear the 24-litre aero engine running: grown men weep, children gasp, angels sing. The aero engine at the heart of the Napier-Railton is the sound of a thousand storms. It’s the sound of… victory.” Normally, everyone stays behind the barriers but not so when the Napier-Railton appeared in the Start area!!! Shortly after taking this shot she burst into life some 6 feet from where I was standing...........................“the sound of a thousand storms” and then some :-))) Watch/Listen here - www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NJWsLtXrZw
