Some of those cars would be useless for a trip to the supermarket.

earlier, I read that all cars in his collection are maintained and restored by Makela Auto Tuning. MAT guys are doing awesome job IMO.

this one is his 1984 Group B Toyota Celica Turbo during the reconstruction...

I think 'awsome' is too lame word to describe the job Makela Auto Tuning makes :D In their homepage there's a section of projects where one can scroll them. Just incredible.

I have linked on the rally forums here in little America to Mäkelä and what they do for work. I warn them ''Make sure you have a few hours to look at each car...Oh have a box of tissues handy, you will need it because it is real car porn''
The amazing thing to me is to look at all the people, all ages, and they look like normal workers, and yet they all do such beautiful work...
Damn finns!

I wanted to work there as a volunteer but they didn't respond :(
glad you guys like the links, they really do an awesome job. I suggest you guys to follow up their website since they update their projects with photos occasionally ;)

Thanks a lot.

I'm afraid it's not a place that you can rock up to and knock on the door. It's a closed collection I believe.

However whats the purpose if it cannot be visited......

It is not a museum, It is Juha´s personal garage, is your garage open for everyone?

For good people Yes, of course. But its me, not Mr. Kankkunen of course. And I dont have a GT-Four in my garage. as I already sold her ;) 4 years ago

I would be also angry if all the rally fans would use my home as Mecca, and could even have a quiet afternoon.

Not your home,your garage and only for 2-3 hours one afternoon a week is a very good opportunity to make some more friends/fans.....
But we are not KKK,we don't have garage and we don't have such collection....
