The hottest fall drive in Wisconsin was with the Madison MINIs. At 84 degrees and the air conditioning cranked up, it didn’t feel like fall. The changing colors and the falling leaves were marvelous as we wound up hill and down through Dane and Iowa counties. As usual, people stared, people sidled up for a chat and people had lots of fun and their little dogs too. After an afternoon of winding roads, we finished off the evening with sandwiches, onion rings and hot wings at Quaker Steak & Lube. Its automobile and motorbike memorabilia was fitting and gravity defying. View Photos…
