Time for another geographical teaser to keep you busy. 10 points for the city, 20 points for the city and event, 30 points for the city, event and location of the photo.:

Well done, I'll give you 25 points Bobins for correct location and city but only half right for event!! Anyone else to pick up the missing 5 points? :)

Not in Greece Bobins. They didn't have any halfpennies to spare :-D
I'll give the 5 points to James as the closest. It was in fact the site for a big screen fan zone for the 2007 Champions League final between Liverpool and Inter Milan which was played at the modern olymplacos stadium in Athens. I was there by coincidence on a med cruise.
The crowd picture in yesterday's POTD came from the same visit and you can see some fans in that one!!

My mate who I moved in Spain has been going through some old snaps and found this one. It is from a Cornwall holiday in 1967 which he took with two friends. Between them they cannot decide whose car they went in and this is the only picture he has. So the genuine question is "Anybody know what this is?" I have already made my suggestion but I don't want to bias anyone's thinking so open to all suggestions :)
