OCTAN is true!!! (the proof, at last)

That's it.
I and Zé Pedro have finally uploaded pics of a TRUE OCTAN station - not in LEGO!

The Logo is the same yin/yang. The name is (was?) "Octana" rather than
OCTAN. I'm still trying to track down this brand, so far I've been directed
to Chevron (by Gulf Oil, go figure?...), but stopped my research there
(Chevron does not operate in .pt)
AFAIK, the station was abandoned following the murder (!) of the attendant,
some 5 years ago. Back then I did not know this brand did not exist abroad,
that is why I never cared much to show it (well, doh! It's not as if it has
anything extraordinary besides the brand...)


Pics can be seen here:
http://plug.no.sapo.pt/octan/octan.html

The caption reads "These pictures were taken in a gas station in Porto. The
advanced state of abandon of the said station is obvious"


Please note that the pictures were NOT edited. This is NOT a hoax. I took
the photos myself, about a year ago.

(Please crosspost as appropriate, if appropriate)
