What a great man and a great driver. The fins are the best drivers.

i was an apprentice @ Vauxhall Luton mechanical div 92 and I and a guy named Bill Tookey installed the engines and gearboxes of both runs of 250 Hs Chevettes. iwas always told how amazing this driver was and its nice to know i had a hand in creating this awesome vehicle

I have only met him once, and we asked him 'How would you suggest driving over the jumps on Ruhimaki in a campervan', he just thought and then said simply 'sideways'. What a character, he will be severely missed. R.I.P Pentti

I spent a year of studying under and working for this great man and will cherish those memories the rest of my life . So much talent and boy could he drink ! A true superstar and a hell of a lot of fun - a rare combo these days .

Here's my favourite story about Pentti.
Pentti was competing on the RAC in a Chevette in the 1970's. Running late out of service he had to do some hard driving up the motorway to make the next control on time. Whilst doing some high speeds he was eventually caught and pulled by some traffic cops. The officer asked Pentti "Why were you doing 120MPH sir?" Pentti answered "Simple, I couldn't go any FASTER!" The cop peed himself laughing and sent Pentti on his way with a slapped wrist! AWESOME!!
