just another commodore 64 mode car wash escapade

hey there


really just a post which does that what is said on the box, or if you like in the title. with the latter being more accurate, look you see, since there is no such packaging as a box with this.

once again, then, i find myself writing the (probably quite tiresome) same thing as usual here. everything which i could say of any reasonable interest on the subject of images from a car wash presented in Commodore 64 mode was comfortably covered in the very first such instance of me doing it.


maybe it is the shading, or other such dynamics, of a car wash when presented in glorious Commodore 64 mode which holds all the appeal for the select number of you what seem to like these things. whereas i would say that i am neither artistically gifted or knowledgeable, that one about, showing as it does the entrance to a car wash, is a bit on the striking side.

do i ever, if you are wondering (probably not), ever go through a car wash and not record it, for posterity or what have you, in Commodore 64 mode? as it happens, yes i do. there is every chance i am mistaken, but i believe that i have used such a facility twice since these images were taken. on neither such occurrence (if there were two) did i have any sense of obligation to record the moments.




yes, once more that is the start, or the commencing, of the car wash as seen from behind. someone had got to the facility before me, so whilst i waited for them as they waited for the car wash mechanisms to do their thing it felt like a good idea to capture the moment with one of them "animated Commodore 64 mode" things that i believe are called GIFs.

do i know what a GIF is? that google thing says it means "graphic interchange format", but does not specify that they are animated like this one. presumably one can create or make a non-animated GIF thing, then, but for what reason one would do this i do not know.



that above indeed is one of them big massive (presumably) soft brush things, sweeping over or along or maybe across the left hand side of my vehicle, gently but firmly ensuring that it is cleansed. as far as i am concerned the results of the car wash were, in this instance, perfectly satisfactory and functional.

how important is it to get your car (or similar vehicle) washed on a regular basis? quite, really. before i did much in the way of driving i always assumed that regular car washing was really just for twats, to be honest, who liked their car being all shiny and that. as it turns out, regularly cleaned windows and mirrors tend to make being able to see stuff as you drive a good deal easier, and more agreeable.



woosh, goes the big massive brush thing in the image above, woosh all over the windscreen, spreading some soapy water so that one may see with most ardent clarity through it as and when they drive around. i am loathe to play favourites, but yes, i suspect the one above is now my "top one".

can, or may, one harness the benefits of using a car wash facility in helping stop the spread of all of this coronavirus business, or help end global warming for that matter? i have absolutely no idea. at a speculative guess, no, probably not. what i can tell you is that using a car wash appears to have no bearing on a kidney infection at all, for i had one, believed it had gone away with some pills off of the kidney mender, but now it is back. it would be churlish and unfair to suggest that using a car wash might have caused my plight with the kidney issue, especially as there is no rational evidence for such whatsoever, or at all.



for those of you who prefer a still image to the moving one, there you go. that is indeed the big fluffy brush thing what sweeps over the windscreen and that.

well, anyway, that's that. unless i end up dead by kidney infection, or dead by coronavirus, or something else, yes, i have every confidence that more car wash action in Commodore 64 mode shall feature here once again one day.




be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
