Farewell to the JellyBean

[Luis Merlo]

Needing a small vehicle for an every day driver (fuel economy) a few years back I bought the 1.6Lt (petrol / fuel) 5 speed manual Kia Soul.
When my kids were living with their Mum, my weekends consisted of 470kms of comutting backwards and forwards just picking up and dropping off...so, economy was critical....we were paying $1.50 per litre (5.70 a gallon) for basic unleaded....sigh
My urge to go camping and exploring...sometimes assisted by way of snatch straps didn't stop me from "having a go"...
So, the Kia got kitted out as well as I could afford to make that happen...it served me well, did not miss a beat and after it clocked 80,000 kms i took care of all servicing myself.
It has now been traded and a new chapter begins, thanks for the memories little guy !

Sad to see it go, but I'm sure it will provide it's next owner with lots of adventure.

So what did you get? Is that a mitsubishi that's in your avatar?

Love seeing what people do with the smaller vehicles. Just getting out there with what you have is key.

Had the misfortune of driving a electric 2016 Kia Soul once, I hated it!
