Jari the rain master, I watched you race many years ago in your Triumph Spitfire at Karlsoga, Sweden in appalling wet conditions, I can't remember where you finished now, (swirling mists of time and all that ) but there were a heck of a lot of on paper faster cars that ate your spray that day. In fact I do remember being one of the first to congratulate you on such a fine drive...A drive of that car " could " bring me out of honourable retirement...
