[jiipee64]

>>hi ive been collecting rallying autographs since 1981,
>>ive met 99% of drivers that i have signatures off, like

I started 1976 collecting Autographcards and other PR-stuff...

Some of the best rallying memories are from those situations...

i agree , one of my proudest moments was Juha Kankunen, signing it in Spain 1999, and saying you have the history of our sport in here.that!!! was brilliant, you must have some great names , id have loved to seen a rally circa 76 amazing

I should have been getting autographs probably on reflection.

I remember in 2005 in Jyvaskyla in the lobby and then outside a hotel within a five minute period I saw Ari Vatanen, Luis Moya, Mikko Hirvonen, Tommi Makinen, Petter Solberg and Chris Atkinson.

And I didn't get a single damn autograph!!!

i saw Luis Moya when he walked away from stricken toyota in margam park in 98, i didnt ask him for an autograph, cos i think he would have told me where to shove my pen lol )

Correct Josti "P" was for Pauli,after his father,Dont know if Harri has also the same middle name,but he has not said so.
Have serviced for Hannu when Suttons team did not turn up ,and also had breakfast with Hannu and Arne in hawick on the Scottish
Had a drink with Stig,Per and Markku and Henri in Douglas
Been in a road car with Malcolm,Dessie and Ronnie McCartney too in Ireland
life used to be busy!

Over the past few years I've managed to get autographs of a number of the surviving 'greats'. Couldn't be in the right place to get Colin Mc's autograph at Goodwood but I'm just about to frame five 12.5 x 17.5 cm photos I've taken signed by Aaltonen, Mikkola, Waldegard, Loeb and Solberg (P). I know Rauno wasn't a world champ but he would have been had such a competition existed then.
I also got my Rally Ireland shots autographed by the top six crews at the Rally Catalunya start (having already got Petter and Phil to sign while they were assembling on the Salou promenade).
After the finish of Catalunya I was walking back to my car when I saw a guy in t shirt and shorts talking to friends next to a Scooby they appeared to be about to get in to.


Jari-Matti signed this shot I took of him on Tempo stage in 2007, perfect end to a great 5 days

I remember in the shakedown in Catalunya 2000. Everybody was around Carlos Sainz so it was very easy to get the autographs of Auriol, Burns, KKK, Colin McRae, Makinen, Grönholm, Rovanperä, Loix and their codrivers in less than 10 minutes. All but Sainz and Moya of course.

Maybe we should kick off a signed Photo and autographs thread where people can scan them in and post them...

I have a whole load of signed photo's...
