jasmine i saw you peeping

hello there


so indeed, then, another car, automobile or other such (similar) vehicle related post off of me, look you see. my interest (and partial knowledge) of such remains steadfast and firmly grounded in only what quality vibes one should hear on voyages in them, but i try to offer what i can beyond that, as and when i can. 

in this instance, or chapter if you will, it is time to give consideration to the matter of the scent of a vehicle. or how it smells. no, strictly speaking i have had little (it would be a mistake to say none at all) interest in this subject, and yet here we are. 


car air freshener things, although one is free to use them on practically any sort of vehicle, are not a matter i have ever given much in the way of consideration to. now that i think, two wheeled modes of transportation free of the constraints of a roof or such similar containment, are probably not suitable for air freshener things. whereas nothing stops one from attaching one to it, i fail to see the value of adding a dangling air freshener thing to a bicycle, a motorbike or one of them smart scooter things off of Quadrophenia. by all means go for it if you are inclined, no prohibition exists, but i doubt much value would be extracted no matter how agreeable or modest the price commanded for the freshener is. 

where was i, oh yes. in some instances i have had them in things what i drive before. at one point, i believe, a friend gave me a smart one what had a picture of (original) Bucket Head out of Star Wars on it, and then at some stage there was (i think) one that came free with the Viz. beyond that, i do not believe i have ever had all that much reason to dally or experiment with them. or make use of them. 

unfortunately, and with regret, due to limitations of what is possible to do with an internet, i cannot showcase the business end of a car (vehicle) air freshener here. there is no way i can work out which allows you to sense and appreciate (or react with disdain) the scent (smell) of it. by means of a replacement experience, or if you so wish apology, here is some video of it. 


this was the only place i could work out where to hang it and not obscure visibility. for clarification, it got placed by the passenger door window on a proper design vehicle. to people where they have built cars and roads all wrong, and they drive on the entirely incorrect side of the road (America, France, etc), it would seem that this is actually on the driver side. but it is not, your car is simply flawed as it is a bit backwards or just made all wrong. not your fault. 

at no point, or stage, did i consider a need existed for an air freshener within the vehicle i am most frequently found to be driving. i just happened to notice this one for sale as i sought some new shoelaces, and it all went a bit moth to flame. making something tape (cassette) shaped is usually a pretty good way to get me to purchase it. beautifying it with some basic, rudimentary text indicating that it is of the 80s helps, too. 


how does it smell? or rather, what is the smell like? mostly an agreeable one, pretty much like the fresh berries proclaimed on the tape label. oh yes, provenance and that. this was all of £1 off of Morrisons. so as to lure my business, they placed this item for sale not too far away from the section where they keep what shoelaces they stock, which was my more pressing need. indeed i did purchase both. 

one stark, bold or harsh reality here is that this may well be the only time i ever discuss the murky world of car air freshener things here. it is not a subject that i have any particular interest in, vested or otherwise. some, maybe even many, of you are possibly quite passionate about such. if this is you, then rather just enjoy what is on offer right here than worry about how no more is likely to come from me. 



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