  1. Hi, in my understanding we are not relatives with Mr. Vatanen, but you never know ;). When I was a child, Mr. Vatanen made tarmac on our parking area (this was the time when he was just starting his rally career and he was working at Lemminkäinen). I remember him, perhaps he don't remember me any longer:(.

  2. Juha Kankkunen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    He was my hero at the time and I met him while he was waiting to set off from scrutineering I shook his hand through the window OMG I nearly fainted :D
     
  3. Ducbird, did you know "kankkunen" in english is "hang over". Anyhow, excellent driver, nowadays is having some kind of "driving on ice school" in Northern Finland.
