we carry on then, look you see. if you are reading this, then the perils and failings of 2020 are now all behind by some reasonable distance. sort of. oh how lovely it would be if the turning of a year would be enough to bring us all a different fate, but i am not certain such things work in such a way.
to do my (very small) bit for all who take superstition, belief and hope in the passing of time meaning something, let me, relatively early in bold new year, deliver a familiar, popular topic. yes, indeed, another escapade, or adventure, down at a car wash facility, presented in the greater good of Commodore 64 mode.
it resoundingly (as an absolute) remains so that i have no idea at all as to why these images taken whilst at a car wash are so popular with a fairly decent size contingent of you. whenever i post some more images, generally somewhere north of one hundred (100) of you, dear readers, shall click on it all and have a gander. as it is of course very nice, and creates a splendid feeling, whenever someone sacrifices the time to see what i have placed here, but of course i shall repeat what has been a success.
do i get any funny, peculiar, curious or concerned looks off of people as i sit in my vehicle, recording and also documenting my time in the car wash? well, so far as i am aware, not as many people as you might think spend their days hanging around such facilities, watching the machinery work as they observe what people do as it does. unless you happen to have someone in the vehicle with you (which, strictly speaking, you should not as part of the effort of the invisible war on the new plague) then the whole thing is a rather lonely experience. not depressingly so, though.
besides, generally whilst in the car wash i am far too busy making "animated GIF" things and taking pictures to worry too much about what anyone who may be in the same vicinity is doing. should it be so that there is someone hanging around, wondering what i am doing, well, good for them, i say, let it be so that i have provided a matter of curiosity for their minds to tackle, if only momentarily.
how often do i use a car wash facility? generally my aim is for once a month. nothing fancy, mind, usually just the basic "wash and go" option. it does tend to be a jinx when i do it, though. more often than not, within days of using a car wash exceptional filth or dirt will magnetically be drawn to my vehicle, or i shall end up stuck in a remote field.
yeah, that's the soft big floppy brush thing going past the passenger side window, right there in the image above. well, of course, the passenger side for cars where they drive on the proper and correct side of the road. for countries where they don't drive on the proper side of the road - America probably for valid reasons and France, because French, for instance - that would, yes, indeed be the "driver" side what is getting cleaned.
maybe if i did not take quite so many pictures, or made as many "animated gif" things whilst i was in a car wash then i would not struggle to find enough things to write about them.
above, then, in the second (of two) animated things, you can see the brush of floppy washing power just come in and start to cleanse the driver window. that is, of course, the driver side window of a vehicle where they drive on the proper side of the road. for our friends in America, and even them twats in France if for some reason anyone from there is reading this (don't you get fined or put in prison for reading stuff not in French?), yes, that would be the passenger side.
how do car washes work in countries where they drive on the wrong side of the road? i have no idea. presumably conventionally, i suppose. from what i have seen on the tele and in films, American car wash facilities are a hotbed of funky disco grooves, sex and drug money laundering. one can only assume in France there is a lot of needless and unnecessary drama around a car wash, with people faffing on saying stuff like "zut alors" or "mon amis" or "tres bien" or whatever, i am not particularly interested.
quite by accident, then, this final picture would seem to be ever such a clever bookend to this post, contrasting as it does with the first image used. maybe.
right, well, that would be that for this, then. to all of you who click on these car wash montage things presented in the greater good of Commodore 64 mode, may it be so that this one did not disappoint or let you down.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
