well, this is tricky. i am not going to lie, look you see, but rather tell it as it is. there is perhaps (possibly) absolutely nothing new i can write about of the car wash experience, or for that matter how it all looks when pictured (and in a sense "filmed") in Commodore 64 mode. but, a fair few of you seem to really, really like frequent posts on the subject, so here we are. well, i am. if you are reading it then you are too.
so, with that in mind, here you go. further images of what goes on to the visible eye in a car wash facility. presented in Commodore 64 mode. again.
yes, that is one of them big, soft fluffy roller type of things, brushing away, spreading soapy water, or water with some soap in it, across the windscreen. so far as i am aware it does the same to all over aspects of the vehicle. i cannot name specific parts as there is too much of a culture clash in respect of it. whereas the proper term for the front it is bonnet, for instance, our friends in America for some reason call it the "hood".
i suppose there is something different i can bring you in this post. usually, or invariably, the images i take are of me sat in a vehicle (with the engine off, in full compliance with the law) as the car wash does its thing. recently there have been occasions when i have had to wait for another vehicle to finish before i could make use of the facility. so, of course for environmental reasons (shout out to Greta) with the engine off, i could film this.
one can see them big fluffy rollers doing whatever it is you want to say that they do in action, then. the less than stable camerawork carried out by moi is something of an accident, but i like to think it brings a quite interesting and spectacular dynamic to it all.
did the person (or people) in the car before me also feel obliged to take pictures, images and quasi video of their experience, also in Commodore 64 mode? in truth i have no idea. also, i could not see any circumstance in which i would go up to someone who has just had their car washed in a facility like this and asking them if they perhaps recorded moments of it. i suspect such an approach would find no favour, or positive response.
the rather avant-garde, metaphorical lighting transposed on the above picture makes it a little tricky, i confess, to work out exactly what is going on. from what i can remember, this is one of them brush things attending to the right hand side of the vehicle. that would be the right hand side if you were sitting in the vehicle, which i was. had you been stood before the vehicle, facing it head on, then what is happening in the above would appear to be on your left side. i think, at least, for i am not certain how such things work.
for balance, and to be safe, i did the vice versa of the above. or, if you like, the opposite. so you can, with some and every confidence, say that in this post you saw how a car wash tackles both the left and the right of a vehicle, no matter which one has the appearance of left or right on the basis of the angle you view from. unless you were for some reason looking from the side, under which circumstance i cannot help you.
just how the camera work ended up slightly more stable, yet slightly more jumpy, is an interesting aspect to this one. no, i cannot explain how i did it, i just did.
quite a few of you, i would hope, shall find the next image of interest. often, or at least sometimes, it has felt that i have failed in capturing the more water based elements of the car wash experience. for me, and to my eyes, this next picture makes some amends in this respect.
well, maybe. that certainly looks like it is a lot of water over the windscreen. it could just be that Commodore 64 mode has made it appear like that, i am not sure.
one more view of the rear of a vehicle in a car wash as i wait to make use of it? again, in a more animated format? why not.
that is indeed an entirely different car wash to the one pictured above. no, i have no particular sense of loyalty to one car wash facility. as and when i need to make use of one, generally i just go to the closest nearest to get the job done.
it's entirely possible that there shall be further car wash updates as the year goes on, but one must never count on such being. with that in mind, i would suggest you rather just enjoy this one, rather than worrying too much about what may follow.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
