My 1st Mitsubishi Pajero

6 years ago I bought this lonely Mitsubishi Pajero by Hongwel Carararama because of its rally breed. Dakar Pajero diecast in 1:43 scale where scarce in those days so I didn't really looked for them. I felt bad now that I didn't buy the other version that was released (PIAA black and white version)

Ford Escort RS1600 1974 RAC Rally Winner

Timo Mäkinen began rallying in Finland in 1959 in a Triumph TR3, and was hired by a Finnish BMC dealer to drive Minis beginning in 1962. BMC Rally Manager Stuart Turner hired Mäkinen in 1963 to drive for the factory team on International rallies. Because he gained his fame aboard the Mini-Coopers and the Big Healeys he is most often associated with those cars, though he later drove successfully for Ford and Peugeot as well. Mäkinen is one of only three men to win the RAC Rally of Great Britain three times in a row (1973-1975), the others being Erik Carlsson (1960-62) and Richard Burns (1998-2000).

He continues to be active in rallying today, competing in Historic and Vintage Rallies.

Timo is no relation to Tommi Mäkinen, who has also become a famous Flying Finn, winning four World Championships driving for Mitsubishi in the 1990's.

Last Pictures Taken

My 10year old Canon point and shoot 2MP digicam had its last breath, it served it purpose already and its now on its way to digital heaven. But before it gave it last hurrah, I was still able to shoot my new Mitsubishi Lancer Evo.

Hoping I could get a new camera soon!!
