    Tony pond is one of the all time best British rally drivers. But Ari, eventually was in another league. Love that Escort. HSR Chevette was a great car too.

    to be honest it does seem funny…BUT when i hear Finnish language it’s like – jouki pouki pitka irra etc. that sound like nothing in the whole world. In your language you’ve got all words “of your own” if you know what i mean. in other countries many wors sound the same and they’re just slightly modified like computer in Polish is komputer. it’s almost the same!!! that’s why i admire Finns who speak English!! I’d love to learn Finnish one day.. that’d be quite an achievement… cheers
