My Kia Seltos 1.5L diesel is inching towards the 86,000 km mark

While it did not see much running in the last 2 months, it did prove itself very useful as we were shifting houses.

No news is no news.

Close to two months since the Goa trip, Coyote has seen very little activity. Two airport runs, one dinner drive and several short trips around the city transpired in between weeks of inactivity. But it proved itself very useful as we were shifting houses. And gives me those happy breaks of a short drive around the neighborhood after a long day.

Airport runs between 12AM and 5AM are still fun

And frugal too

Multiple trips like these were done to transport sundry items as were shifting houses

Also short trips and a lot of idling burnt diesel copiously

I had done a quick wash and cover routine before I flew to Bhubaneswar for 2 weeks and hence the car remained protected

2 weeks later

One day, both I and my wife were bored. It had been months since we had been towards Hoskote. And it was the perfect evening too. So we went on a short drive with a plan to get some dinner on the way. What was a perfect sunset in Bangalore, turned into torrential rains once we crossed Hoskote. So we skipped STRR and kept on going. We were not hungry when we crossed Empire or even McD Kolar or even Woody's Mulbagal. Chatting, enjoying the rains and the drive, never realized we had reached the border. So I turned back. Crossed Terminal Cafe again but we were still not hungry. Eventually, we came home and had dinner after an evening well spent!

The only pic clicked that day

The five-year anniversary is coming up and another service is due. It also needs a good wash and a few pending work which I hope to take up once I am back in town. Odo is a few kms short of the 86k mark.
