faster

heya


well, what can i say. here we go, look you see, with the first car wash of the year (2021), being reported in the third (3rd) month, but actually it happened in the 2nd (second) such month. indeed, yes, of 2021. sorry, only really had chance to share it now with all you car wash presented in Commodore 64 mode enthusiasts. 

to give the only remotely possible point of interest away relatively early, indeed it is so that these images, and yes one of them shiny animated gif things, are the first of a car wash to be taken on my still momentarily (relatively) new phone. otherwise, i would expect you will find all of this is much the same as the, oh, dozen or so posts on the same subject already done. well, maybe not a full dozen, but close enough. 


above is an image, then, of the great big floppy flappy spongey brush thing what spins round and round, going over the windscreen in a north direction. should you take north as being up. i think i quite like the stark, sparse, spatial minimalist imagery provoked by this particular image. and to clarify, yes, presented in the greater good and glory of Commodore 64 mode. 

perhaps this is simply stating what many of you more enthusiastic readers know, or are expecting, but for the benefit of all others it seems the animated "gif" things are a bit different on this new phone. they appear to be slightly faster, which may well be a quicker (or higher) fps, frames per second, or what have you. as i mentioned the last time i observed this, probably due to them microchips and ram rom things what are all shoved into phones these days.


sure, yes, as you can certainly see, that's the big massive floppy soapy brush cloth thing gently, yet also firmly, going past the passenger side of the vehicle, cleaning away. well, as has been discussed before, the passenger side in relation to where one drives on the proper and correct side of the road. for our friends in America, an other places (like France), this would indeed be the "driver" side getting washed, since your cars and trucks and what have you got built the wrong way around. 

it may well be that some of you might be interested to learn that although this was the first use of a car wash facility, it wasn't my first proposed one. as it happens, i went a couple of weeks prior to this adventure, but was told that the machine was switched off. when i asked why, the said it was because it was too cold and the thing does not work proper below a certain temperature. 


quite likely that you have no need for me to point this out or explain, but for the sake of something to write here, that is the floppy brush thing going past the driver window on a proper vehicle. once again, this would be the passenger side in countries where they do not drive on the correct side of the road. 

right, well, anything else that i add here is just going to (possibly) distract from your enjoyment of the above images, so let me leave you to it.



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