Hey guys, tell me why Jari-Mari? I am curious :D
Actually I have no idea either :lol:

I saw some other people doing it and I thought it was funny so I adopted it too. In fact, there has been other variations like Jari-Marjaana. Basically, take any female Finnish name and stick it after Jari :lol:

I was referring to the fact that Kimi wants to win always and 2nd or 3rd place is not enough! Just like what Jari-Matti said. :)

... and I'm for Kaj too... :blush:


We call him Jari-Mari because Kimi and Kaj said this when they were talking about him. I think it's a cute joke, nothing else. :)

But in every other way besides that, Kimi and Jari-Mari are completely opposite :lol:

In Finland he is often called Jari-Mari, Jari-Marjaana and whatever because he is, well, a bit girlish, and he always used to cry like a girl when he crashed :)

Awwwwwwww that is heartbreaking :(

He wears his heart on his sleeve (I know that is very un-Finnishlike, but I find it adorable)

Oh, what a polite gentleman :)

Awww... that he's a bit of a crybaby doesn't turn me off one bit.

Kiitos, Vers! Oh, he was sooo cute in the end, during the champagne spraying... cowering like a little boy.

This is sickening. I find whatever he does cute. I bet if he picked his nose with three fingers I'd still find it cute.

One of the reasons why I like him! :)

Dindi, do not worry, I find everything about Jari-Matti cute too!! :O

Btw, Kimi is polite too, he also told my friend that he would give her pen back! You know that was our luck that he searched for us in the crowd when he finished the signing! That was when I asked him for the photo. :O

Loeb on the other hand stolen my pen! :lol:

Sebastien Loeb, tsk tsk tsk. A pen thief! We should take him to the World Motorsport Council, Kinga! :lol:

Sleen, I do appreciate that you are enabling me even if it's bad for my psychological health. LOL. Thank you!!! :hug:

Raaaaaaaaawr!!!

I wonder if, when I go to a rally and show up at the Ford tent, wait for Jari-Mari to come and when he comes, ask for a photograph then kiss him on the cheek... I wonder if he's gonna punch me in the face... :huh:

You can't imagine how funny the situation was. He signed his signature for me and I wanted to get my pen back, I touched the pen but he was holding it in his hand strongly and other people came closer to him to sign for them too and I still wanted to get it back but he was holding it and started to run away LOL and then I realised that I won't get it back!! :lol:

Sorry, I know... I'm a two-timer... JM looks so aggressive in that pic. Please forgive me.

Finnish friends,

would it be criminal if I hugged Jari-Mari? What do you think? Oh no, I'm obsessed with the idea now...
