Not sure if anyone was watching the WRC Access All Areas on the weekend, but as part of the 1000 Lakes coverage, they visited Jari Matti's home. In his special garage, there were 3 cars: A Didier Auriol Corolla WRC, a replica Henri Toivonen Chrysler Sunbeam (not a Lotus - earlier version), but most interesting of all - an AE86! Unfortunately the AE86 was the only one they didn't talk about.

 

He did have other sheds containing a BDG Mark 2 escort

as well as a rather nice workshop where he was building up a Makinen Evo 3 or 4 replica.

 

It's hell being a rally star....

Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to see if it's still on the Tivo. I must admit I quite like Jari-Matti of all the current WRC crop. He reminds me a little of McRae, he either absolutely flies, or has an off. It's good to watch :D
