Wowza!!
Juha was nothing short of awesome in his day. I remember reading an article titled "Touched by the hand of Juha" in CAR aeons ago and it just gave me goosebumps. No nonsense guy with huge talent.

Stunning collection!!

Those cars were driven by only a handful of drivers during their time...

And those cars can be seen today by an even smaller number of people...

That makes sense. :drunk:

That's the most impressive car collection I've ever seen from a single driver! Not only lots of classic WRC cars like the Peugeot T16,Celica,Ford Escort,Lancias,Audis which he drove with great success, but I didn't know he was a massive Ferrari fan aswell! owning no less than 5 Ferraris including the F40! :clap:

Amazing collection. Amazing photos. Amazing driver and person.

In all, my favorite will always be the Martini Lancia Delta with the Torino plate. That's the charismatic image I've got of a rally car. It's just like living again when Juha passed at my door in those transition sections of the Portuguese Rally in the 80's early 90's.

I had the absolute pleasure of not only meeting but also being trained by the master himself. A very nice and easily approachable guy...and bloody quick on ice. You´d never imagine the angles and speeds before you experience them.
