Well not this one as I do tend to try to get as much as I can in to my pictures. This now quite interesting Volvo didn't matter too much at the time, but whereas this view of old Porto taken in 1984 might look very much the same today it's the one-and-a-half-deck coach that catches the eye. Despite their not too beautiful colour-scheme I seem to have taken a few pictures of this local firm. It looks like there are remnants from the tramway creating patterns in the road too.

Lol.
Sant Driver, thanks for adding more detail to my post, it's when other people contribute that it all comes a bit more to life. I'm surprised though at your comments about our British Leyland cars, I thought they were the best in the world especially the Marina, the Metro and the Alegro.
Christopher,
No offense to the British Leyland Cars.
Morris Marina Diesel is an evil beloved car in Portugal.
Regards
Sorry, I was being ironic. We didn't think much of them here either.
