Jussi told me the story about 30 years ago, but one can find it here also:

Jussi (or Juhani) nowadays, the one on the right of course:

A great and famous publicity shot, car looked a bit different after landing though.

By the way, did anyone realize that Loeb will probably break another long-standing record now - for the quantity of wins per season. Now he has 6 to his name. +3 asphalt events and maybe 2 (or even all 3) possible wins on gravel, so...

i hate to admit but after he won finland, i feel loeb is so strong now, i think he might win all events left, maybe beside great britain. unless ford employ tactics or he gets some bad luck. the remaining rally you don't gain much advantage by sweaping, especially during these months the road could be damp or wet. it got to be some kind of miracle for mikko to take driver champion this year.

I think you are completely right. Loeb is very strong on tarmac and only bad luck could take his win.

Yet, that's bound to happen sooner or later. When and to what effect, we'll know only when it happens. Admittedly, Seb's championship hopes seem very strong but there's always the fat lady singing...

Nice snippet, jonkka! Jussi told me the story quite similar. Did you know that Jussi, beside driving all different kind of factory backed Imps and some other cars in RX was a factory driver for Polski Fiat with a Fiat 125p for a while?
