The 2018 Windsor-Detroit Fall Colour Tour

The day was grey and a brisk 35 degrees when we headed out to the rendezvous point this morning. But we were confident that the Sun would soon come out and warm our Fall Color Tour drive with the Windsor-Detroit MG Club, so we bundled up and kept the top down.

Alas, the Sun never arrived, so it was still only 39 degrees at the end of the tour. And the leaves weren't quite yet at their peak color. But we all had fun, anyway.

So come along with John, Monique, and the FUN MG for a hypothermia-rific Fall Colour Tour.

Gathering at the starting point.

 And we're off!


Hey, that's not an MG! (Jaguar XK8)


Time for the first pit stop. Hot cider and donuts at the Rochester Cider Mill!











Monique, have your hands turned blue yet? No? Well then, hop in the car and let's drive around some more with the top down on this 37 degree afternoon!











Time to turn around and head back south! Migrating waterfowl had the right idea today!

Waving hello to another British roaster, a Triumph TR6.

At long last, the restaurant at the end of the drive and time for a bowl of hot chili!


Then because we're gluttons for punishment we drove home with the top still down! Despite the chill and the grey day it was a fun drive and super to see everybody's MGs out for one more run before winter sets in.

But next year I figure out how to install heated seats in an MGB.
