RIP Hannu, the success of the Quattro was largely down to him & a few other very talented drivers

RIP Hannu Mikkola. One of the all time legends and the instigator of the "Flying Finn" legacy. Some great memories of a time when Rallying was so challenging.
Sad timing as well, given this last weekend was the WRC Finland Rally.

One of the greats, a sad loss for the sport.

I've spent much time over the weekend remembering the Half Man Half Biscuit lyric "the wonderful dexterity of Hannu Mikkola, makes me want to shake hands with the whole of Finland"
