My Ride: Mini Cooper
The Focus came to rest after 17 rolls against a tree and Latvala and co-driver Miikka Anttila walked away from the wreckage.
he was very lucky that he can walk out of it.
This cars are like a tank

Nice stuff.
Rally drivers have serious balls. No other racing drivers can match them.

My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.
Latvala is fast, even faster than Loeb, but the damned kid wrecks the cars at almost all rally 
He will be a Champion, maybe.
But so did Bosse Gr?nholm also in his early days, but now he is a double Champion.
But he also wrecked his Prodrive Subaru in Portugal, but did not race last year and is now driving
just for fun and he was second in Portugal before crashing.
Some other Finns winning the Rally World Championship:
Aaltonen, M?kinen, Toivonen, Mikkola, Alen, Toivonen Jr, Kankkunen, Salonen, Vatanen, M?kinen, Gr?nholm etc.
In the Formula 1's: Rosberg, H?kkinen, R?ikk?nen.
We Finns drive as there is no tomorrow...
